Michael Savage - NO national ID Card - Slams Sen. Schumer and Bill O'Reilly - "Over My Dead Body"

The Senate is working toward a ghastly compromise on immigration reform that includes a biometric national identification card for all Americans. The stated purpose of this national ID, which an employee must present before getting a job, is to prevent undocumented workers from being employed. Back in December I warned that a national ID is the inevitable conclusion of the anti-immigration movement. The failure of E-Verify to catch 54% of undocumented workers is only accelerating the call for a national ID.

A national ID hurts American workers while pretending to help them.

First, every worker would have to ask permission from the federal government to get a job. American workers shouldnt have to beg or plead to anybody to get permission to work. Being employed should be a private agreement between an employer and employee. Period. The government should get out of the way.

Second, carrying around government papers with biometric identification on it conjures up images of a more technologically savvy Oceania or East Germany. No thanks.

Third, the system will exclude millions of legal workers by accident and fail to catch the majority of undocumented immigrants. For instance, if E-Verify were instituted nation-wide 3.6 million Americans would be denied employment each year and have to visit the Social Security Administration to correct their records. The employer either fires them or delays training. Will a biometric ID card make this system better? How does that help American workers?

Fourth, it will cost businesses up to $800 to buy a scanner. Or as Senator Chuck Schumer says, employers can just go down to the DMV. Senator Schumer doesnt know squat about running a business. The last thing an employer wants to do is spend time at the DMV when he could be spending it improving his business. And all this during an economic slump!

Fifth, it would treat every American like a criminal by requiring them to enter their most intimate and personal data into a government database. One of the benefits of not having committed any crimes is that my information is not in a government record office. Id like to keep it that way.

I'm glad Savage supports SOPA !!!

SOPA is not what you think !!!

Democrats are trying to BRAINWASH americans into thinking that SOPA is going to censor the internet !!

IT WILL NOT !!!

SOPA is being introduced by REPUBLICANS to protect american businesses from having their copy-written material stolen from "pothead-smoking college students" that want to freeload off of them !!!

SOPA is good for our economy and its good for jobs !!!

VOTE REPUBLICAN to keep jobs in america !!!

[hefeltbad]

if this bill passes ill never work or pay taxes again PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a liberal/conservative and I HATE the idea of any American having to get a national ID card. I will not carry or show 'my papers' at any time. I have a state ID I got so H&R Block could do my taxes. That one time per year is the only time I have it with me. So someone ELSE could do their job. This is, pure & simple, political bullshit. We have to vote these idiots out, Out, OUT!!!

Charles Saurkrautt? Is he referring to Charles Krauthammer?

By the way, these Leftists screamed about the Patriot Act, but they were never really upset about it. What pissed off the Left about the Patriot Act was that it wasn't one of THEIR laws!

"Well done Savage, I very disgusted with Schmuck Schumer and all of these

liberal motherfuthers, and these pothead politicians are nothin' but disgrace

the Europe thing absolutely sucks. Tell'em like it is"

[terracer]

Ah Schumer... the POS that blew off the proof - the video evidence PROOF that the government storm troopers burned innocent men, women and children ALIVE in Waco Texas... Schumer dismissed all the evidence in the "hearings" on the Waco event. The man is an evil scaly low-life who is a waste of good air.
