Congress Debating "No-Work" Database

grag writes "Cnet is reporting that the US Congress, in their quest for immigration reform, seeks to force employers to utilize a database to determine a person's eligibility for employment. The Department of Homeland Security would operate the database and would be given access to IRS records for this purpose. The article mentions similarities between this proposal and the no-fly list — and the expectation of similar difficulties the proposed database could pose to valid people seeking employment."

  1. Civilization by EzInKy · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    As a long time Civ player I've always wondered just why do we have so much interest in the Middle East? After all, shouldn't the American tribe concentrate on conquering their own island first before going about trying to take over the rest of the world? Sure I understand about aiming for a cultural win and never have been shy about bribing foreign powers to do my bidding but you would almost think that the American Chiefs have some deep down loathing of Aztec descendents or something.
