I don’t get the call for a national ID card. It is my understanding that the Social Security Administration can already detect a faulty number and notify the employer of the faulty numbers submitted. Then it is up to the employer to fire the employee right away and report him/her to immigration authorities. Thought this was in place to be done by law already, but just not enforced. Am I wrong about this??
Have you seen an actual letter informing the employer of the SS problem? I don't have one in front of me, but it says explicitly that you can't use the letter as a reason to fire the employee and there are penalties possible if you do.
That’s probably true in a lot of cases, but in many cases the identity and the SS#s are stolen from legal citizens and the employer and the SSA have no way of telling that the number does not match the person. I think a tamper-proof or biometric ID is a good idea.
with an RFID chip in the National ID card, they can read wherever the card goes.....same as the new passports, etc.
there are clothing companies that already implant these RFID chips into their clothing, and know when their clothes visit different stores (though those white gates you see at the doors)..
