NEW POLL OVERVIEW:<br />
<br />
The U.S. Congress and the Michigan Legislature are both working on versions of a &quot;National ID&quot;, known as &quot;E-Verify&quot;, that would be used to stop the hiring of illegal immigrants. <br />
<br />
E-Verify would esentially become a national ID and it would:<br />
&nbsp;-&nbsp; Be a required ID for everyone seeking employement or changing jobs.<br />
&nbsp;-&nbsp; Contain Social Security numbers, driver license information, birthdates, medical information, etc.<br />
&nbsp;- Serve as a legal hurdle for employers by incorporating a biometric identifier such as a picture or fingerprints. <br />
&nbsp;- It could eventually become an &quot;all-purpose security device, used for cashing checks, confirming the name on credit cards, and looking you up at the prescription counter.&quot;<br />
&nbsp;- Allow the sharing of personal information in a nationwide database to multiple entities.<br />
<br />
