Included in the sweeping surveillance package signed by President Bush Oct. 26, the language expresses the "sense of Congress" that the Justice and State Departments should strongly consider using biometric technology to develop "tamper-resistant" documents for immigrants and aliens entering the country. "It's a nudge rather than a mandate," for creating a uniform immigrant ID that relies on fingerprints or some other form of biometric data to identify people who enter the country legally, Center for Democracy and Technology Deputy Director Jim Dempsey. Dempsey predicted that the government will eventually mandate the use of some form of biometric measure to keep tabs on aliens entering the country. Although "the concept of a single national ID card (for U.S. citizens) remains at the edge of the policy debate and is nothing that is being argued for by the administration," the notion of an ID card for non-citizens is far further along, Dempsey said. The biometrics language is a relatively minor codicil of an anti-terrorism package that expands federal wiretapping and electronic surveillance authority and lowers the standards for evidence that investigators must meet when seeking Internet, phone, business, medical and other records from suspected terrorists.
