They should do this world wide it might actually cut down on illegal immigration by a lot if you know where everyone is that is. I know a few states that would love this new technology implemented...

Agreed.

But 21 states in the U.S. have followed Maine's action and passed laws banning this action. Several others have bills pending to outlaw it. All 50 have extensions on the enforcement date. This could be an interesting show down in the Supreme Court. The law was passed with an effective date of May 11, 2008 and has been changed twice. Its being fought on several different constitutional principles by both traditionally liberal and conservative groups. North Carolina is already in compliance, but almost every state with significant immigration issues (except CA) is showing strong opposition.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
