No papers!
Lindsey Graham has an idea. So you know you are in trouble – right?
He and Chuck Schumer (another paragon of self-promoting idiocy) want to have a national ID card. Like so many other politicians they want to ride concern over a valid problem – illegal immigration – to promote an idea they will use to squash freedom and dissent.
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.
Uhmmm. NO THANKS.
I do not want anything Lindsey Graham or Chuck Schumer think is grand. A national ID would provide a basis for no privacy and internal movement controls. No thanks!
The ACLU, in one of the good things they do to hide their basic anarchist goal, doesn’t like it:
"It is fundamentally a massive invasion of people’s privacy," said Chris Calabrese, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. "We’re not only talking about fingerprinting every American, treating ordinary Americans like criminals in order to work. We’re also talking about a card that would quickly spread from work to voting to travel to pretty much every aspect of American life that requires identification."
And neither do I. Now an “Idiot Identification Card” might be handy. Schumer and Graham would be first in line for such an honor.
