Did you hear about Georgia's new SecureID?

Question

"SecureID to Crack Down on Use of Fraudulent Documents to Obtain State Identification
Initiative to Combat Illegal Immigration and Identity Theft, Support Homeland Security

ATLANTA (September 6, 2006) – Governor Sonny Perdue today unveiled Georgia SecureID, a multi-agency effort to combat the use of fraudulent documents to obtain state identification cards and driver's licenses. Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) investigators will be placed in the 10 highest-need DDS Customer Service Centers throughout the state to crack down on the use of fraudulent documents. "

"It is simply unacceptable for people to sneak into this country illegally on Thursday, obtain a government-issued ID on Friday, head for the welfare office on Monday and cast a vote on Tuesday," said Governor Perdue. "

"We owe this to the people of Georgia who foot the bill for public services. We've already passed some of the strongest anti-illegal immigration laws in the country, and now we're taking steps to protect our state on the front end of the licensing process."

Currently illegal immigrants in Georgia are using valid state ID's obtained through illegitimate means to obtain employment and access state-funded services. DDS reports that 88 percent of ID fraud cases in 2005 involved either a non-U.S. citizen or fraudulent foreign documentation. Fraudulent identity documents are also a threat to homeland security. At least seven of the September 11 hijackers obtained genuine Virginia identity documents through fraud."

I think we need this in all 50 states. What do you think?

Well, if the state of Georgia can do this, I think the other states can, too. Maybe all it takes is one state to step up to the plate to get the ball rolling.

Answer 2

I'm glad to hear that...finally something is starting to happen.

thanks EL INDIO....you your self just said that they are to lazy to do anything the legal way. they would rather look for loop holes and continue being a pain in the AS$ to the Americans. illegals are to lazy to be legal they would rather be criminals for the rest of their life.
