Refugees meeting hears proposal to register every human
GENEVA, Dec 13 AAP|Published: Friday December 14, 7:18 AM
Every person in the world would be fingerprinted and registered under a universal identification scheme to fight illegal immigration and people smuggling outlined at a United Nations meeting today.
The plan was put forward by Pascal Smet, the head of Belgium's independent asylum review board, at a roundtable meeting with ministers including Australian Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock this afternoon.
Mr Smet said the European Union was already considering a Europe-wide system, using either fingerprints or eye scanning technology, to identify citizens. But he said the plan could be extended worldwide. "There are no technical problems. It is only a question of will and investment," he said.
"If you look to our societies, we are already registered from birth until death. Our governments know who we are and what we are. But one of the basic problems is the numbers of people in the world who are not registered, who do not have a set identity, and when these people move with real or fake passports, you cannot identify them.
"It's a basic rule of management that if you want to manage something, you measure it. It's the same with human beings and migration."But instead of measuring it, you have to register them."
Mr Smet said the scheme would give people dignity by giving them an identity if their papers had been lost or destroyed.
And he said it would allow countries to open their borders to genuine travellers or asylum seekers, because they would be able to prove the identity of any over-stayers and deport them without argument from their home country.
Mr Ruddock appeared unconvinced by the merits of the plan. "In principle we would be supportive of a system which would crack down on multiple asylum claims, but a universal identification system would be taking it too far," he said through a spokeswoman.
What will it take for it to become a reality?
I really liked this line...instead of taking away one's dignity by registering them like cattle, they are giving people dignity.
Well for one they can start in China. By the time they think they are finished they can start all over again. (How long would it take to fingerprint 1.3 billion chinese? ) If they ever get China done then they can go to India and do another billion. After that Pakistan. 800 million. Then they can go to europe, (I don't have a clue how many are over there.)
Go to December 18th archived show for a discussion from a Christian perspective.
We should start ignoring them.
That would be my guess as well.
Well stated...Hope they leave me for last...then again, by that time, I'll be long gone...

Mr. Smet?...Beam me up Scotty, Mr. Spock just told me that we have no chance for survival here..."Mr. Smet"?

is this one of those ethnic jokes , like the change a light bulb thing?
Not to mention they reproduce like rabbits, and by the time you get someone carded, another one dies. So really this is all a big joke. National or international id's are an f-ing joke. The only thing, is that I'm not laughing. I'm 32, in good health, and do NOT like the idea of being cattle, or having someone destroy my nationality, or sovereignty. I'm also waiting for them to go to a cashless system of money, which would effectively create the biggest tax base in history, and give the IRS and the UN the capability for taxing you on the things that you aren't taxed on now.
It's all about money, and the redistribution of wealth. You know who will get the cards or implants first? Europe, then it will be fashionable here in America. Once America succumbs to the mark... The world will be finished.
Revelation 13:16-17
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
a few short years ago this was sci fi,
today it's a possibility
tomorrow it's the law ....keep looking up
