Immigration
Reform Could Cause All, Both Small And
Great, To Receive A Biometric SSC
Because she was born in Chicago, Karen
Peisker never imagined her bosses at United
Parcel Service would suddenly question her
right to legally work in the country. But
last month, an electronic employee
verification system flagged the truck driver
for possible identity fraud because she had
been using her married name, Rivera, on her
driver's license since 2007. Though Peisker
joined the company in 1985, it put her at
risk of being fired until she proved she was
who she said she was. "I couldn't
believe it," said Peisker, 50, who
repeatedly had to show up to work with her
birth certificate, marriage license and U.S.
passport until the confusion was cleared up.
Not uncommon, such problems with the federal
E-verify software system — intended to
pluck illegal immigrants out of the work
force — have led to proposals for a more
wide-reaching solution that could be as
culturally transformative as it is
controversial. Until recently, it also might
have seemed as futuristic as a movie
thriller. Two U.S. senators prominent in
immigration reform efforts have proposed
that all Americans be issued biometric
Social Security cards, containing data from
either a fingerprint or retinal scan to help
employers determine whether the holder is
legal.--
