Biometric Database of All Adult Americans Hidden in Immigration Reform
BY DAVID KRAVETS 05.10.13
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.

{———SNIP———}

This piece of the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act is aimed at curbing employment of undocumented immigrants. But privacy advocates fear the inevitable mission creep, ending with the proof of self being required at polling places, to rent a house, buy a gun, open a bank account, acquire credit, board a plane or even attend a sporting event or log on the internet. Think of it as a government version of Foursquare, with Big Brother cataloging every check-in.
Does anybody seriously believe that passage of this bill WON'T result in that mission creep? If you believe that it WILL, are you OK with that? If you're NOT OK with that, what are you going to do about it?
