[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] VA is primarily ex-military people, so the SS# didn't seem such a big deal at first. then i realised that SS#'s were basically being used as elctronic signatures for credit application purposes etc... this was back when an IBM 486 PC was state of the art, and few people had internet yet.. so, the scary part of a national ID... how do we find a way to fix it? they went along way toward fixing it by requiring all people traveling out of the country to get passports. seems to me we could apply insta-check on guns to jobs too... the real problems are in "temp work" like the cosntruction trade where people don't really have a permanant job... but factories that have hundreds of illegals were operating with impunity... [b]595 workers arrested in Mississippi ICE raid (front page) BY SUSAN LAMONT CARROLLTON, Georgia—Nearly 600 immigrant workers were arrested August 25 in Laurel, Mississippi, after agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) descended on Howard Industries, Inc., a major producer of electrical transformers. It is the largest such workplace raid to date. All entrances to the plant were sealed by heavily armed ICE officers wearing flak vests, according to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. Hispanic workers were segregated from other plant employees, and mobile trailers were set up to conduct interrogations of workers, most of whom were then taken to nearby jails. Nearly 500 of the 595 arrested are being held at the new ICE detention center in Jena, Louisiana. Others are being held in Mississippi jails. An attorney for eight of the workers said they face criminal charges of using false Social Security cards and identification papers. If convicted they could get two years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine. “We began getting indications that ICE was planning something about 10 days ago,” explained Bill Chandler, executive director of the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance (MIRA), in a telephone interview with the Militant. MIRA is helping organize defense for the workers arrested, as well as aiding families affected by the raid. In addition to U.S.-born Black and white workers, many of the 800 workers at Howard are immigrants from Mexico, Panama, Brazil, Guatemala, Germany, and other countries. The plant is organized by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. “We began to get calls from workers on the Gulf Coast and in the Hattiesburg and Laurel area that ICE was becoming more visible,” Chandler said. “Others told us that ICE was recruiting legal staff and judges in the area, another indication that a raid was coming.” [/b] http://www.themilitant.com/2008/7235/723503.html this "media outlet" tries to make it sound like a bad thing. i see it as a good thing. i don't get what anybody is complaining about enforcing the laws that are on the books. the co's that hire all these people are committing a felony. the IBEW was involved according this peice, but i'm skeptical... unions [b]should[/b] know better.
