Reports say that the new comprehensive immigration bill would have regulations that would prevent the entry of undocumented workers in the country. One such implementation would be the introduction of ID Cards for overseas workers to prevent employers from recruiting undocumented and fake workers.

To be more specific, it would be mandatory to have a “NATIONAL BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION CARD” for all the overseas workers working for their US employers.

The proposal is in its initial stage. In addition, talks are that all the legal workers, be it the nationals or the overseas workers, would be given the ID card, provided they succeed to qualify for the necessary requirements and prove their eligibilities towards the same.

The ID card would be decked with embedded information to ensure 100% safeguard from illegal immigration. But the issue is draped with plenty of criticism too. The multinational companies, who make big profits through the aids from illegal overseas immigrants, would surely have their opposition towards this proposal, some day or the other. Do you think that these parties would let this bill pass so easily?

Some people also believe that the implementation would breach people’s privacy. The ID cards may serve as their national ID Cards too; therefore every moment could be easily tracked by the government. In addition, the government would track their working history, which in some cases, may not prove right for the general masses.

The core problem lies within the employers who hire these undocumented workers. Rather than enforcing harsh regulations on the employees, it becomes mandatory to impose stringent rules on the employers who hire illegal workers!
