Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Fingerprints To Keep Out Illegals?

Would you give a thumb print to get a drivers license, as a condition of employment and for any state services to stop illegals use of false ID and to block them from any jobs or welfare?
States could get rid of the illegals by killing the jobs/cash flow/entitlements, then give a ten year sentence for use of false ID with intent to defraud the state. Upon employment the workers thumb print would have to be matched to the one on back of his DL or in a state file within 15 days. If they don't match and not terminated and turned over to police then a $50k fine to the employer. Anyone from another state wanting employment would be required to get an ID card similar to the DL.

I think that would be a great way to end our illegal immigration problem as long as the system was enforced.

If we are talking about a simple thumb print or maybe both thumbs and not a complete 10 print card I would consider it but nothing more. If employers want to hire out of country workers, the company should send down a team to the country where they want to hire from and pre screen the applicants. After they have screened the applicants, then the company can apply for the visa's ahead of time and bring them in with a valid work permit. If these people work out, say after 2 or 3 years, then they can apply for a permanent visa. kwg

in a word, NO

No, it wouldn't bother me at all after all I've had my fingerprints taken when I was in the Navy for a Security Clearance, by the local Sheriff for Emergency Management Certification and for my CCW Permit.

They're already on file both Nationally and Locally so it's no big thing with me.

The only thing that they don't have is a DNA sample, but I can see a good reason why it should be on file.

kwg,
Funny thing about the process of bringing in foreign workers, there is a federal program to get agricultural workers on a legal work visa. Problem is the orchid owners around here complain it is too expensive, say they could hire Americans at that cost.

nope

Thumbprint?

Don't know why not. I have to give one to the bank every time I cash a check.

I would. I have nothing to hide.

And that is what the entire issue comes down to. If the current laws were enforced, we would have no illegals to be a problem.

I'd use a different bank , fug 'em

In COMMUNIST California you already are required to give your finger print to get a drivers license and I had to give give it to keep my AR50. like every one else in this state that purchased an assault rifle or 50 BMG I am honored with the title LEGAL CRIMINAL do to the fact that I own a banned firearm in this state. And I wished I had more!

Every time an illegal alien is found simply deport them and the people who hired them. The problem would end very quickly.

I seldom get the opportunity to choose which bank the "payer" chooses when he writes me a check.

Typical problem with our government,NO ENFORCEMENT,it`s the same thing with the gun laws.

It sucks to be the orchid growers. Either they do it the right way or they starve. kwg

My uncle is an orchid grower (by him self) and he told me there is no money in it any more do to China imports He hires no one and still can not make it , how are illegals helping anyone the growers are still competing with China so the illegals should go just like all of the businesses. They left the country for cheaper labor and less taxes.

I've never been asked, is something new?

The last time I renewed my drivers licence I was required to give the my thumb print and my girl frend is renewing her licence this year and has to go into the DMV they will not let her do it by mail. I told her that it was becouse of the thumb print. We will see if I am right with in the next mounth.

The renewal App. Spacificaly says I quote (Have Your Thumb Print and Photo Taken)
