Biometric ID

Someone asked about biometric ID requirements in HR 2202 "Immigration in the National Interest Act of 1996". This passed the House a few weeks ago. The Senate may pass it this week or next. Watch out for stuff to slip back in in the Conference Committee. The whole "pilot program" to develop a forge resistant biometric ID card has been removed from the bill. The Border Crossing Cards that speed crossings from Mexico are supposed to have machine readable finger prints or hand prints added but those can probably be duped by the forgers. The online SS# verification program is reduced to a voluntary (for the employer) pilot. DCF
