We would require all U.S. citizens and legal immigrants who want jobs to obtain a high-tech, fraud-proof Social Security card. Each card's unique biometric identifier would be stored only on the card; no government database would house everyone's information. The cards would not contain any private information, medical information or tracking devices. The card would be a high-tech version of the Social Security card that citizens already have.

Oh, this is rich. I mean, if that info is stored ONLY on the card, where's the comparison sample--the one you match it to in order to verify? These guys are REALLY insulting.

Prospective employers would be responsible for swiping the cards through a machine to confirm a person's identity and immigration status. Employers who refused to swipe the card or who otherwise knowingly hired unauthorized workers would face stiff fines and, for repeat offenses, prison sentences.

So, just like with healthcare, you have to buy a product (a swiping machine), or you go to prison. More Obama fascism.

We would bolster recent efforts to secure our borders by increasing the Border Patrol's staffing and funding for infrastructure and technology. More personnel would be deployed to the border immediately to fill gaps in apprehension capabilities.

How long have we been hearing that. If they wanted to do that, they already would have. The U.S. govt WANTS illegals here, because then they can spring scams like the RFID SS card on us. WE are the ones who are penalized, not the illegals. The govt wants the borders open, period. The purpose of this legislation is to regulate American citizens.

Yeah, this is caviar.
