Opponents of any kind of national ID card will be aghast at New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg's idea for a national DNA or fingerprint database designed to track the citizenship of all workers. Bloomberg defended his idea: "We already have a unique identification card for everybody that works in this country," reports the New York Sun. "It's called your Social Security card, so this is not a civil liberties issue. In the day and age when everybody's got a PC on their desk with Photoshop that can replicate anything, it's become a joke. You can go buy a green card or a Social Security card for 50 bucks. I'm told it's so competitive sometimes you can get two for the price of one."
A senior staff attorney at the New York Immigration Coalition, Avideh Moussavian, praised Bloomberg for his proposal to legalize undocumented immigrants already here, but told the Sun she had reservations about his proposed tracking system.
"It has the possibility for dangerous misuse of private information," Moussavian said. "Without the proper checks and balances, we have concerns about that."
In an op-ed piece in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal Bloomberg revealed his own immigration reform plan and warned that America's economy would crumble if the 11 million or so illegal aliens now here were deported to their home countries. He wants to legalize those now here and suggests we need them to keep the Social Security system solvent.
"We're not having babies fast enough," he told Fox News. "When you want to retire and you want Social Security to pay the benefits that you believe the government promised, somebody's going to have to be paying into Social Security."
According to the Sun, Bloomberg also called for building fences and using high-tech surveillance in remote border areas. He also suggested that immigrants pay back taxes and whatever fines they owe in exchange for being given legal status legalization.
Poster Comment:
Mayor Bloomberg refused to release the eyewitness testimonies of 503 New York city firefighters and EMTs which had been collected by Thomas von Essen, the fire chief. It was only a court order that allowed the public access to this vital part of 911 history. He was most likely acting as a Zionist when he helped cover up the testimonies to a controlled demolition. He is also most likely pushing the Zionist agenda with his push for a national DNA database and ID cards. The next step is to demand permits to move and to travel.
