"The
immigration reform measure the Senate began debating yesterday would create a
national biometric database of virtually every adult in the U.S., in what
privacy groups fear could be the first step to a ubiquitous national
identification system.
Buried
in the more than 800 pages of the bipartisan legislation (.pdf) is language
mandating the creation of the innocuously-named “photo tool,” a massive federal
database administered by the Department of Homeland Security and containing
names, ages, Social Security numbers and photographs of everyone in the country
with a driver’s license or other state-issued photo ID.
Employers
would be obliged to look up every new hire in the database to verify that they
match their photo."
Americans, not illegal aliens, mind you. That's just wrong.
Then there's this:
"When
Obamacare’s individual mandate takes effect in 2014, all Americans who file
income tax returns must complete an additional IRS tax form.
The
new form will require disclosure of a taxpayer’s personal identifying health
information in order to determine compliance with the Affordable Care Act’s
individual mandate."
