"Immigration Bill Mandates Biometric Information On All Adult
Americans

By William Teach May 11, 2013 � 7:43 am http://tinyurl.com/396svf

Everyone should Tweet Marco Rubio and ask him what this is all about

(Wired) The immigration reform measure the Senate began debating
yesterday would create a national biometric database of virtually
every adult in the U.S., in what privacy groups fear could be the
first step to a ubiquitous national identification system.

Buried in the more than 800 pages of the bipartisan legislation
(.pdf) is language mandating the creation of the innocuously-named
�photo tool,� a massive federal database administered by the
Department of Homeland Security and containing names, ages, Social
Security numbers and photographs of everyone in the country with a
driver�s license or other state-issued photo ID.

Employers would be obliged to look up every new hire in the
database to verify that they match their photo."

You approve of that system being installed right? Last time I was
complaining about driver license pictures going into a facial
recognition database here in Canada you said its a good way to round up
the leftist weenies or something to that effect. Maybe you're worried
about this new system being used to round up the rightist weenies ;)

I don't see what's wrong with such a database. The only place you may be
expected to have true privacy is within your own home, on your own land, or
out on the trail in the wilderness. And that privacy should be sacred to the
point that you should be able to grow and smoke your own weed, or make your
own alcohol or hashish or whatever floats your boat, and be able to shoot
anyone who aggressively invades your "castle" with the clear intent of
physical harm to yourself or your possessions.

Outside of those circumstances, you are sharing common ground with other
citizens when you appear in public or use various publicly shared and
supported provisions such as the electrical grid, highways, libraries, phone
system, internet, or USPS, so it seems reasonable that those who are charged
with maintaining access and security of those systems should have the means
to do so.

It was fortunate that there was so much surveillance as well as personal
cameras at the Boston Marathon to allow law enforcement officials to
identify and capture the culprits quickly. An accurate and extensive
database of physical features, including dental records and DNA, would allow
the quick exclusion of certain people and the rapid determination of guilty
parties. If I do not commit crimes, I should have nothing to fear from
accurate identification. It's the career criminals and felons and
sociopathic deviants who scream (through their lawyers) about invasion of
privacy and technicalities that allow them to "get off" when they are
clearly guilty, so they can immediately rejoin their gangs and do harm to
more people.

Hey, it's a "Brave New World", and it's not that bad if you are a good
person and can get along with normal and even pleasantly eccentric other
people. Only crusty old curmudgeons living in a spiritually empty,
materialistic world, have anything to fear. But the "new world order" is
really a liberation from the chains of capitalistic deception, and
acceptance of the very best of what true Christianity and other peaceful
religions have been trying to promote for millennia.

...you mean that i no longer can masquerade as a wetback to get free
benefits like 100% hospitalization, free car with no drivers license
needed, welfare payments, food and housing?

You should have the right to privacy in your own house, except that
the government should be able to access each and every record you
might have in it, tax, financial, medical records[1], social contacts,
physical movements[2]; peer into your body and under your clothes, and
investigate or outright harass, intimidate, and persecute anyone who
disagrees. Or Jews, for instance.

Government is made of nice people who are better, and do the right
thing.

Freedom is vital to the government--they need more...it's for the
common good.
