Do I really have to say it?

WASHINGTON, D.C. - There's more talk on Capitol Hill about requiring all U.S. citizens to carry a worker ID card before getting a job. It's part of a major overhaul of immigration policy, and the plan could go before President Obama as soon as this week.
All U.S. citizens would be required to carry an ID cards according to this plan. It's meant to keep companies from hiring illegal immigrants. No matter where you apply for a job, under the plan, you would have to have a card carrying bio-metric information on a microchip. It's like your fingerpints, or a scan of the veins in your hands.
The ID cards would basically prove you are who you say you are, and that you are a legal citizen of the United States. The program is being pushed in the U.S. Senate by Democrat Chuck Schumer (D- New York), and Republican Lindsay Graham (R- South Carolina).
Unlike the optional E-verify system that some companies use, this would be mandatory for all companies to use.
It's drawing some criticism from privacy advocates, who say this moving toward a national ID card, giving the government too much power to track you. Sen. Graham says it's simply a way to keep companies and employees honest.
"What I want to make sure is when an employer is presented with a social security card, you can easily verify that it is real and genuine and the person presenting the card is who they say they are. If we will do that one thing, it will make it very hard to hire illegals," said Sen. Graham.

And within a week there will be some damn little guys in China cranking these things out for the mexicans by the millions.
The corpse is still smoldering.
Juan McCain’s friend and fellow traveller Lindsay Graham-nesty is backing this. Mark Levin was ripping Miss Lindsay tonight as being worse than Obama.
Juan McCain is no better as are the RINOs supporting McCain.
Why issue “worker-id” cards when it’s non-workers who will soon be in the majority?
Uh, uh, uh, you're not supposed to ask these questions!!
The states could pull a switch and require a worker ID card to vote. Who needs a stinkin voter ID card when they can use the worker card? That would get the dems' undies in a bunch. They would probably pass a bill making it illegal to use the cards as voter cards to ensure the illegals and dead people could still vote for them.
I’m not sure how this would do a darn thing for most of the illegal “day laborers” that get payed cash under the table on a day per day basis for whatever work they do.
What planet are these guys from?

What are you doing out so late? Your papers please.
Obama should be against this bill because he would not be able to keep his job. He is not eligible for one of these ID cards. : )
Leave me alone. Go after those illegal aliens!
If these will be anything like the I-551 (Green Card) the counterfeits will be on the street before the real thing.
A national ID will have a stripe for sure. Then the gov’t can control you by requiring any prescriptions be swiped, food purchases, booze etc etc.
Just a bigger database & code after that.
Do I really have to say it?
This is the same administration/political party that blocks the Voter ID card laws.
I'm a proud American, have the birth certificate and will not get the mark of the beast!
Don’t you recognize the use of the word “workers”? It started in Soviet Russia right after the commie takeover.
Wassamatterwithyou? Don’t you want to live in a worker’s paradise?
“I’m an Associate, not a Worker!”
Only if you own or partly own the company!
“Sen. Graham says it’s simply a way to keep companies and employees honest. “
Not to be promoting anything illegal - but I have to wonder how this treason clown is able to walk around in public without being physically erased?
