Biometric ID For “ALL Americans” in the works

in #privacy7 years ago

A new bill has high approval ratings and seems to be set to be implemented.

H.R. 4760 establishes a mandatory National Identification system that requires all Americans to carry a government-approved ID containing “biometric features.” Without this card, according to the legislation, you will not be able to work in this country.

Ron Paul commented:

“Under the statists’ National ID scheme, you’d be forced to carry around your National ID card, tied to this massive database, chockfull of biometric identifiers like fingerprints and retina scans,” Paul noted. “Without this ID, you won’t be able to legally hold a job — or likely even open a bank account or even board a plane!”

The bill will:

Allow federal bureaucrats to include biometric identification information on the card, potentially even including fingerprints, retinal scans, or scans of veins on the back of hands, which could easily be used as a tracking device;
Be required for all U.S. workers regardless of place of birth, making it illegal for anyone to hold a job in the United States who doesn’t obtain an ID card;
Require all employers to purchase an “ID scanner” to verify the ID cards with the federal government. Every time any citizen applies for a job, the government would know — and you can bet its only a matter of time until “ID scans” will be required to make even routine purchases, as well.

This bill is mainly set to be approved thanks to the anti immigration republican cool aid drinkers. Under the pretense that this is supposed to be about immigration, but it is really about controlling everyone in America.

We're gonna see a lot of distractions soon so people have their eyes drawn to something else, instead of this.
