Legal immigrants frustrated over long wait times while illegal immigrants pour in

Fox News’ William La Jeunesse reports on wait times as long as 26 years to enter the U.S. legally.

The U.S. government has implemented a requirement for migrants without passports to undergo facial recognition technology when taking domestic flights.

Migrants lacking proper photo identification must utilize facial recognition technology to verify their identity against Department of Homeland Security records, according to TSA.

While TSA officials did not specify when the change was implemented, they noted it was recent and not prompted by any specific security threat.

The U.S. government has started requiring migrants without passports to submit to facial recognition technology to take domestic flights under a change that prompted confusion this week among immigrants and advocacy groups in Texas.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

We can bet our sweet bippies that facial recognition will soon be required of all Americans to access government properties.

Yeah, that's where I saw this going, too (for all we know, they are already using it).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
