Proposal to Implant RFID Chips in Immigrants
John3 writes "Some people are OK with voluntarily implanting themselves with RFID chips, but how about making RFID implantation mandatory for immigrant and guest workers? VeriChip Corporation chairman Scott Silverman has proposed implanting RFID chips to register workers as they cross the border. According to Silverman, 'We have talked to many people in Washington about using it...' Privacy advocates see this move by VeriChip as a way to introduce their product to Latin America after a lukewarm reception in North America. Would immigrant workers trade their privacy for the opportunity to work in the U.S.? If this type of tracking is enacted, how long before the government decides to start tracking others for various purposes (for example, pedophiles who are released from prison)?"
Why are people actually debating the issue of freely allowing Mexican immigrants into the US? Have you guys/gals actually BEEN into Mexico and seen a majority of the places and people there? It is dirty, trash everywhere ... crime is rampant and people don't care about anyone.
... I for one would NOT want Arizona to be another Nogales or anything EVEN CLOSE. Are we to believe that just because we let them into the country ... they would respect THIS COUNTRY and keep everything clean and abide by our laws when they can't do the same in THEIR country?
... but HAVE YOU GUYS/GALS EVEN BEEN TO MEXICO?
... illegal. Either deport them or shoot them on the spot, but don't take my money from taxes to keep them in OUR jails.
If we were to allow them to migrate into the US, wouldnt it be sad for that to happen to the southern US states? I mean
I'm not saying that Americans are clean for the most part
I think that all illegal immigrants should be treated as just that
Heil Amerika!
The medical benefit is quick unique identification that can be cross referenced with your medical records. It makes it less likely that the doctors\nurses will misidentify you and potentially do something that might kill you. (Yes, there will still be problems, but far less I'm sure.)
Also, they arn't being forced. It's the price of admission to America.
Yay! Just like dogs! In case they get lost, any vet could read the RFID chip of your favorite immigrant/guest worker, and you could have him or her home in a matter of minutes!
I wonder why we bother with immigrants at all, when we could be enslaving those damn dirty apes.
From the Bible, Revelations chapter 13:16-18>------ 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666. ----------- OK, I have a computer chip in me. It has files on it. Since it will be used for all my file transactions, it must be able to be read and written by anyone - so we have read and write permission for owner, group, and world. If this file system is UNIX/POSIX compatible, that's a permission code of 666 !!! QED Corollary I - the so-called "Christian" right are a bunch of moronic stooges, acting as a hand puppet for the devil. Corollary II - The republicans are the party of satan, busily building the infrastructure for the antiChrist to use to rule the world. Corollary III - If you vote for them in the next election, you have only yourself to blame when the secret police kick in your door.
"Sic Semper Path of Least Resistance"
What in the world gives you the inclination to refer to a person as an "illegal"? They're people, remember - just like you and your parents and grandparents and (great^N)grandparents who were once illegal immigrants probably at one point, making you an "illegal" by the transitive property.
