Lawmakers Seek Tamper-Resistant Social Security Cards.

The article focuses on the reintroduction of the legislation that would require counterfeit-proof Social Security cards as part of an effort to make it easier to enforce laws regulating the hiring of illegal immigrants. The cards would feature a photo and a computerized strip that employers would use to verify the legal status of a potential employee. The bill is intended to stanch the flow of illegal immigrants crossing borders to seek employment, allowing the Border Patrol to focus on criminal activity.
