VeriChip reveals its colours

By Nick Farrell: Thursday 01 June 2006, 15:41 AFTER YEARS OF insisting that VeriChip RFID technology will not be used for Big Brother purposes, the company's chairman has proposed tagging immigrant and guest workers in the United States.

Scott Silverman, Chairman of the Board of VeriChip Corporation seems to have got carried away when being interviewed on "Fox & Friends" when responding to the Bush administration's call to know "who is in our country and why they are here".

He suggested that if foreigners were tagged using VeriChip RFID implants at the border, the technology could verify their identities in the workplace.

So far, VeriChip has found willing subjects among people who want their medical information implanted so a hospital can get all their details in cases of emergencies.

This one needs a photo of someone with a huge EAR TAG.

Too early for me to photoshop... pretend its radio and use your imagination.

There's a longer and more detailed article .. HERE.

It has more facts and less hyperbole.

Proposal to Implant Tracking Chips in Immigrants

BTW, the President of Columbia agrees that for Columbian 'temporary workers' in the US it wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Oh, I suppose if someone applies to work for me and they don't have proper ID, I'll call the cops. Or if I get into a wreck with someone like that, or if they get pulled over, or if their employer gets audited for payroll taxes, or any number of things. Many of them will turn up.

Couple that with these following items, and they won't be hanging around the US for very long:

1 end the anchor baby policy

2 end welfare benefits for non-citizens

3 end subsidized health care and public education for non-citizens

4 swift and harsh jailtime for employers of illegals, plus seizure of assets

5 build a 1951 mile wall from the Pacific to the Gulf

6 allow non-citizens to cross into Mexico with impunity

7 Pass the FairTax

8 overthrow the current Mexican regime and install a non-corrupt, capitalistic government

Once again, my tagline says it all!

[Wonder Warthog]

"Many of them will turn up."

But what percentage?? I agree with all the sanctions you propose, but the use of RFID on non-permanent residents is another useful tool that can make the overall job easier.

[Personal Responsibility]

You know, I was wondering why that sounded so familiar! Thank you for reminding me of that.

That was a fun game.

[varyouga]

I thought they already do retinal scans for new immigrants?

[varyouga]

"Actually, it's a good idea. An excellent way to tell when TEMPORARY visitors to the US overstay their visas. Have'em removed if and when the prospective immigrant reaches "permanent resident" status."

I'm pretty sure back-alley surgeons will start removing these tags from illegals as soon as they are introduced. Plus, RFID only works relatively short distances from the scanner so it is only useful for access purposes and not as a beacon. It will only inconvenience legal visitors.

Storing a retinal scan should be adequate for ID purposes.

[Halgr]

I get flamed every time I say this but

Think NWO

[doc30]

That would be a good way to close the border. Instead of tens of millions of visitors to the U.S., there would be next to zero. ANd all the foreign owned comanies that have in sourced to the U.S. would more their operations out of the country. And people delivering good s and services in and out of the country would stay out. It's the perfect plan to isolate the U.S. completely from the rest of the world.

It would be even more true when other nations reciprocate by mandating Americans have chips implanted when they leave the U.S. What's fair for foreign citizens in the U.S. is equally fair for Americans travelling abroad.

Plus, RFID only works relatively short distances from the scanner so it is only useful for access purposes and not as a beacon. It will only inconvenience legal visitors.

RDIF chips can be shielded. Anything that blocks radio waves will interfere with RDIF technology. No joke - just wrap whatever has an RDIF in aluminum foil and you have defeated the technology. If the chip is in your head....

[jetson]

Yeah and once they are tracked the government will know where they are so they are out of harms way when this traitorous government starts rounding up legal citizens.

[JimRed]

Mark of the Beast bump!

[Dubh_Ghlase]

DOC (Digital Angel Corp) is a subsidiary of Applied Digial...

[stuartcr]

So all the ones that actually go through the checkpoints, will get tagged, and the ones that cross illegally, won't?

[redgolum]

Won't put one in my dog, so why would I sudmit to have one?

[Crispus Attucks Patriot]

I fear for anyone who even thinks about trying to implant me or mine....

This is precisely why the Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment

[Americanexpat]

Yeah, plant them things in immigrants and illegals, then tomorrow they will plant them in everyone under saying it is for our own good. Hitler, Stalin and Mao would be proud.

[S0122017]

Yeah I liked that game too.

[plain talk]

Foreigners? Most of us are foreigners depending on how you draw the line. Yhy stop with foreigners. Let's just implant everyone with a 666 chip on their forehead and be done with it.
