Government Working
Against Its Citizens
ID Theft Is Allowed and Even Encouraged
 |
| Romans: The president has the authority to
make this a priority in immigration reform, but has not done
so. Instead, the GAO finds there is overlap, disarray and agencies
working at cross-purposes... One attorney today said, "How
come you can have warrantless wiretaps and no one worries about
privacy laws, but something as pervasive as this raises all these
red flags in Washington?" |

Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- December 13
Paul Donnelly, Immigration Consultant:
The government is not doing a very
good job at all. Everybody knows this, and we've known this for
20 years. We have to get past the idea that there is some "privacy
right" to steal an American's identity.
[...]
Peter Stergios, McCarter & English: Somebody or some
group of those with authority to do it has to simplify the law,
clarify the law, and eliminate all the ways that identity thefts
can carry on their business.
[...]
Dobbs: ....By the way, just to be absolutely crystal clear,
the president of the United States, with one sweep of his pen,
could change all of that through executive order.
