I don't know Tom....

I think we should get everyone registered and retina patterns checked. We can then deport lots of these folks as well as implement DNA testing and retroactive deportation.

The problem is implementation. Can you imagine Mexico implementing this?

Hahahahahahahahahahhahhahahhahaha...

Or relying on the Mexican government to maintain these records...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Now imagine the thrird world countries...who will implement and maintain these records....

The very folks you want to register will be the ones without registration.

Eye or retina implants will become a black market identity changing operation for those whose records are on file.

No...fingerprints and retina scans are not the answer.

The only permanent reliable ID is man's mind. And I know what would happen once consciousness base-rate frequencies are on file.

Soon... after only fifty to a hundred years they will realize that many of the same folks are coming back.

Pretty soon we can pre-judge an infant and lock him up because he was a serial killer - or was a tax evader in a past life.

You can imagine the various nightmarish scenarios....

Arafat is reborn in Israel...

Sharon is reborn in Palestine...

Clinton is reborn to a prominent Republican family....

Men are identified as previous women...

Women are identified as previous men...

Yes the prejudice and conflicts would be surreal.

The planet needs to be much wiser for that advanced of an identification tool.

No, ID-ing folks won't end illegal immigration or terrorism.

Freedom comes with certain risks.

A police state of global or national intelligence agencies is equally undesirable - as there are always a few folks in the intelligence and law-enforcement community who are also slightly out-of-their minds and attracted to these fields because of the ability to hide behind the law to fulfill and pursue their snooping and some perverted power trip.

Yes, there are always some rotten apples..and because there are... one must never give any agency unlimited power or the tools to abuse the people they are entrusted to serve.
