Bipartisan immigration reform framework announced

March 18, 2010 | 2:29 pm

Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) have laid out the framework for a comprehensive, bipartisan immigration reform bill that would include tougher border enforcement, creation of biometric Social Security cards and a path to legalization for the nation's estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants.

The announcement of the plan, which brought immediate praise from President Obama, comes days before a pro-immigration march scheduled for the nation’s capital on Sunday.

â€

We don't need biometric Social Security cards. There are already ways to validate the authenticity of social security numbers. The "No-Match" program is one of them---unfortunately held up and delayed by radical groups like the ACLU. Moreover, legalizing millions of illegal workers and giving them biometric ID cards just adds more people into an already threatened Social Security entitlement system.
