Demos (And Our Boy Lindsey) Twist Immigration For More Government


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.
.
A national ID. How special. How Washington. How totalitarian. How out of touch. With the people.
