America May Soon Require National Biometric Identification Card to Work Any Job

Big brother is here circa 2010. Once this immigration law passes, then any gainfully employed person will be required to be tracked, traced and databased by the federal government. The immigration reform law includes a measure requiring all workers to get a national biometric identification card.

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.

This law cannot be allowed to pass, because it is a ridiculous violation of privacy. If the law does pass, how long will it take before someone makes a cloaking sleeve, so that the card cannot be tracked? I say it will take a week or less. These sleeves are probably already available for the RFID tags in our current cards.
