A DNA Database For All U.S. Workers?
fragmer writes "New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested a plan on Wednesday that would establish a DNA or fingerprint database to track and verify all legal U.S. workers. The mayor said DNA and fingerprint technology could be used to create a worker ID database that will 'uniquely identify the person' applying for a job, ensuring that cards are not illegally transferred or forged. Bloomberg compared his proposed federal identification database to the Social Security card, insisting that such a system would not violate citizens' privacy and was not a civil liberties issue."
Most of the people who whine about Abu Ghraib and "innocent Iraqis" dont really care about them at all. In fact, they are secretly delighted for any fault since it lets them vent their inner seething nature. Having no virtue of their own, such people have a secret need to judge any errors of others for a false sense of superiority.
Curiously, people who have lost their virtue can't take a stand on virtue (having lost theirs) and tend to attack people who still have theirs. Such people identify with the villain in any contest against the good because they share the same nature. This is the reason millions of corrupt and psychotic people with self loathing and anger feel sympathy for terrorists and dictators and transfer the anger from their broken lives to the something like the US - a safe target (these people are generally cowards you see)
UN forces were found to be raping women and children in the congo and yet hardly a peep is heard (BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4122417.stm ). Instead there is the self serving mantra over Abu Ghraib which was not as bad as Congo. People still carping about Abu Ghraib are phonies and I can tell what their secret lives are like. This is why Al-Qaeda types want to kill us off - not because we are too strong but because we are weak and gutless with false virtue.
Are you fucking serious? The way to keep people from coming here looking for illegal work is two fold.
First, make harsh punishments for those caught hiring illegals. Something with real teeth, let's say mandatory ten years in federal "pound-me-in-the-ass" prison before they're eligible for parole.
Second, make it so that there's no incentive to COME here not to exclude them once they pop over the border. If there was a $4/hour minimum wage in Mexico no one would bother coming here to work illegally for basically the same money. We've created this situation ourselves by constantly beating down wages and workers in Central and South America for our own greed.
You're a moron and a fascist to suggest that linking DNA to employment records is anything but insane. Bloomberg should be thrown out of office for even suggesting. It's undemocratic. It's fascist. And if you support it you'd better get the fuck out of my country because the real Americans are getting a bit tired of your bullshit.
