Should we electronically tag illegal immigrants to keep track of them? What about just immigrants? And domestic citizens too? If we understand the history of implementing new technologies, we can see the dangers in posing an argument like this one. The potential applications this sort of technology brings are indeed very explosive(and very profitable), but quite open to government and corporate abuse too. As they say, once the genie is out of the bottle... it will certainly not be allowed back in.

Our hope is that the general population will not give into fear and thus reject these half-baked technologies... the 'Real ID', the RIFD Microchip, and the Biometric ID. Corporations are selling this idea to both politicians and ignorant Americans who are afraid of Mexicans over-running the country. Americans citizens who support this new control technology for 'illegals' have very little or no clue that it's designed to control them as well. Do they really think that once the cat is out of the bag- once the technology is on the market, that corporations will stop before every human(or 'sales unit') in the West is required to carry this technology?

If a technology like this is made mandatory for any sector of the population, it will be because of unbelievably intense corporate lobbying pressure and PR drives, pushing our governments to implement it. This is the dream business of which we have not seen the like of so far, one which will out-sell even Microsoft's operating system, with profits that are off the charts. It's likely that if we decide it's a good idea to microchip immigrants, then we will have to also chip visitors to the US... and then soon after that, expect it will be standard practice to chip every man, woman and child in the USA. Indeed, everyone(including you and your family) will be chipped or required to carry Biometric ID tag at that point. What real benefits can possibly be achieved through such a technology?

The fact that people are even discussing this question is proof that American brains have been very well-conditioned and are now sufficiently soft enough for our corporate task masters to implement this outrageous, overpriced and very useless technology. Unless you really feel that we are merely consumer slaves for these reactionary and fear-based technology products, then you will quickly realize how such a technology can be used by our security services to track and restrict movement, and exclude specific 'profiles' from certain places or activities. Card holder's assets could be frozen if suspected of terrorist activities or merely reported on for suspicious behavior. If this sounds like Blade Runner or 1984, it is meant to.

The US Government's own policy could have controlled immigration by improving Mexico's economic chances at any time during the 20th Century... if it had chosen to do so. But the agenda could not be any different today, as Capitol Hill moves towards a single North American market and currency(the Bush Gov't plans to achieve this through NAFTA, as a common market controlled by a modern Police State). This move will also put America as we know it on to the chopping block. Simply, have a good look now as our own US Gov't is planning to pass a blanket "Amnesty" for all illegals in the US and allow their families to come to the US as citizens. That's our own corporate controlled US Government writing off the United States of America... and this is not fault of the Mexicans working classes. If Middle America is truly afraid of Mexican immigrants, then it must realize that the US Gov't does indeed have the power to slow immigration- it has always possessed this power.

See the bigger picture. The grand plan is on the table right now. Read about 'NAFTA'(North American Free Trade Agreement) and the North American Single Currency- this move will destroy true American Sovereignty as we know it today. Microchip and Biometric ID would just be absolute the icing on the cake for the new One World Order's ambition of a Police State. This technology has no real use other than to coin in profits over a massive new market.

The biggest reason for immigration is obviously an economic one. America has managed to beat the Mexican economy into submission over the last 100 years, so by putting a historical light on this issue, it shows what a meaningless and rather dangerous idea it would be to implement the Microchip for Mexicans... because the general population will follow. We are not consumer slaves for an endless line of control-based technology products. We are American citizens and we must first uphold the Constitution of the United States, the single most important aspect of this country... and each one of us must protect it.
