Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.

Under the potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker.

The ID card plan is one of several steps advocates of an immigration overhaul are taking to address concerns that have defeated similar bills in the past.

Nobody outside of transportation ever heard of or gave a shit about TWIC.

Until now...

And rest assured, step out of line for the slightest infraction and your "worker's card" will be remotely disabled, rendering you out of a job.

The farmers want to make sure the cattle can wander but not leave the pasture. And if they do, the tag can help the neighboring farmers return the property to its unrightful owners.

Lets see, Obama, Schumer and Graham all funded by Lockheed Martin who will likely get the contract. It will be of no surprise where this is going. The meeting is probably just for the media's benefit.
