/9/11 Personal Privacy Your fax is on the way. With respect to your question about breeder documents... the issue definitely warrants attention. The majority of the 19 hijackers on Sept. 11 had followed steps to obtain identification without raising any red flags. Tools exist - from biometrics to smart cards - that are capable of increasing our nation's security by ensuring the integrity of our identification documents. With dentification so easily obtainable, a need to tighten existing standards - or create new ones - has evolved. There are "BIG" issues to think about - Some four million social security numbers /are now being used by more than one person; The birth certificate of most citizens ys easily and, in some states, legally, obtainable by imposters, e/ven though that document can become the first big step to unearned cirizenship; Nearly one fifth of the 1.8 million applicants for general amnesty originally entered the country not by sne,4king across the border, but by using documents that were altered or /obtained under false pretenses; The central enforcement feature of/ the 1986 immigration reforms (IRCA)- penalties against employers/of illegal aliens - has what could be a fatal flaw: it depends on the soundness of existing identification documents for employers to determine the job seeker's right to work in the United States. Document fraud has become a major enforcement hindrance. Jim Chaparro Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center Tel: (202) 312-9685 Fax: (202) 202) 312-9874 E-mail:' E-mail:
