Biometrics Security for Illegal Immigration

The speech made by president Bush Monday evening, live from the Oval Office, was very clear: from now on, anyone willing to go legally in the United States in order to work there will have to communicate his fingerprints while entering the country.
Many foreigners will have to subject themselves to these procedures, formerly only imposed to criminals and to spies, not to immigrants and visitors, and even less to citizens.

"A key part of that system [for verifying documents and work eligibility of aliens]
should be a new identification card for every legal foreign worker.
This card should use biometric technology,
such as digital fingerprints, to make it tamper-proof."
President W Bush (Addresses on Immigration Reform, May 15, 2006)

This is my site - here to tell friends, colleagues, clients and suppliers a bit about me and what I do.

The short version is that I work for IBM Global Business Services, project managing CRM initiatives for large clients.

I've worked for clients in the CPG and Government sectors, but I focus on the financial services sector.

In my Copious Spare Time™, I take photos, look after my youngsters, Morgan, Ruaridh and Orla and help Lucy run her Cloth Nappy Business.

For the longer version, well you'll have to email me, but while you're here, take a look at my Blog, read some of my articles, or take a look at my photos.
