When employers do not report undocumented workers or employees working off the books, they’re skirting the law. These tax dollars also include needed F.I.C.A. contributions which covers Social Security and Medicare.
• Employers will not have to keep track of visa workers; the government can notify employer when the visa holders time is about to expired.
• These cards can be used for other purposes. Lately there has been a focus on voting, one side claiming voter fraud and the other side claiming the lack of voting availability. With this card there will be one vote per card any attempt to place a second vote will be rejected. On election day authorized ATMs will be able to accept your vote, it might even reach a point that someday a voters will have the ability to cast their vote online.
Many people will tell you this is a form of big brother, and they would be absolutely right. But these people are ignoring with the advent of the internet we are already there. What has to be decided does the good outweigh the bad.

Not bad Blackbird. I am an employer, in landscaping, so very familiar with the topic. All I want is a level playing field and a system that works. I currently use the H2B Visa program. We applied for workers last September for arrival in April. We got them in July. Hard to run a business that way. Just FYI, (not complaining), I am required to pay them $18.35/hr.
