Obama endorses DNA database, considers biometric national ID

Yesterday President Obama met again with Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), the sponsors of the “immigration reform” bill we reported on yesterday, which has as its first “pillar” a mandatory biometric national worker ID card.  In conjunction with his meeting with the Senate sponsors of this scheme, President Obama issued a statement which didn’t mention the national ID card specifically, but praised the overall proposal as “a promising, bipartisan framework which can and should be the basis for moving forward.”

Meanwhile, President Obama has strongly and explicitly endorsed mandatory DNA sampling of everyone arrested (not convicted, arrested — people who are presumed to be innocent) and retention of DNA records in a national database. “It’s the right thing to do… This is where the national registry becomes so important,” the President said [transcript] in an on-camera interview.  We hope he reconsiders, and that his views on a national DNA database aren’t an indication of his leanings on a national biometric ID card.

Whichever way they are leaning now, the President and the Senate need to hear from the public, right away, what you think of these ideas — and that you won’t go along with unconstitutional restrictions on your rights.

  1. This is the right thing to do this is overdue tooooo many people walking around and don’t know their fathers because of trifling women keeping something hid from them. When this comes into place there will be a lot of exposure of people that have been doing wrong for many years.

  2. Liberty, Freedom, and Constitutional Right’s… This will move you and your family into a socailist state. One where control will be in the hands of the worlds wealthest elite. Privacy will be exchanged for the greater socialist globlal good. To learn more about how this is being done visit: http:rfid.skyriver.org.
