Oh give me a BREAK!!! The article says the fingerprinting has been done on
APPLICANTS, not shoppers!!!!!!!
Teachers have to get fingerprinted to get their teaching license originally and for renewals. Does that make all of THEM "stigmatized" as likely child molesters?????????? Or how about nurses and doctors? Are THEY stigmatized as some kind of criminal for getting fingerprinted for licensure???
And as for "discouraging" the hungry from applying, the only people who would be "discouraged" from applying because of fingerprinting are those who are
here in the USA illegally and they don't want to send up a red flag to immigration authorities.
ALBANY — New York City would have to stop requiring the electronic fingerprinting of food stamp applicants under regulations proposed on Thursday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo,
