Iowa GOP Candidate: Catch illegal immigrants and microchip them

04-29-2010 • RawStory.com

Bertroche said. "I can microchip my dog so I can find it. Why can’t I microchip an illegal? That’s not a popular thing to say, but it’s a lot cheaper than building a fence they can tunnel under.” Bertroche has already backpedaled from the comment, telling the Associated Press he can't understand why people would think he was suggesting illegal immigrants be micro-chipped or that he was comparing him to dogs. "I don't support microchipping anybody and it also didn't occur to me I was comparing dogs to illegal immigrants," he said by phone.

If they can national ID going it will be almost as bad as having a chip. It is getting to the point government want to know how often you go to the bathroom and if you can avoid flushing you toilet whenever possible.
