Sen. Schumer’s Immigration Reform Is a National ID
So reports the Wall Street Journal:
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.
It's the natural evolution of the policy called "internal enforcement" of immigration law, as I wrote in my paper, "Franz Kafka's Solution to Illegal Immigration."
Once in place, watch for this national ID to regulate access to financial services, housing, medical care and prescriptions---and, of course, serve as an internal passport.
