Chuck Schumer\Lindsey Graham: ID Card for Workers Is at Center of Immigration Plan

0 votes

Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.
Under the potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker.

The ID card plan is one of several steps advocates of an immigration overhaul are taking to address concerns that have defeated similar bills in the past.

The uphill effort to pass a bill is being led by Sens. (R., S.C.), who plan to meet with President Barack Obama as soon as this week to update him on their work. An administration official said the White House had no position on the biometric card.

Schumer is beyond all hope, but so are his voters, so let's focus on Lindsey. Too bad we're basically stuck with him until 2014. What a complete and utter sellout. Is there any mechanism by which a Senator can be impeached?

he's is the man. Graham has got to go.
