So......What are your thoughts on Micro chipping all REFUGEE's no matter what country they are from?

Sgt Kelli Mays — Sun, 13 Dec 2015 12:41:51 -0500

Okay, so I know this sounds really crazy, but why not?

UPDATE: I found an article on microchiping and frankly it seems to have good uses and somewhat makes sense.

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2014/08/30/is-there-microchip-implant-in-your-future.html

What if there was a simple way to micro chip....and once vetted, the chip can come out.

All refugee's will have to be finger printed, DNA put on file and micro chipped. Everyone will have to check in once every two weeks....either by signing in online or calling in to report their status and where about's. This way we can keep track of them and we can verify they are telling the truth when they check in.

No matter what country they are coming from.....and those coming here on VISA's of any kind....

This way, we have a file on them...we can monitor them

Yeah, yeah yeah....there are those that are going to say this is against their constitutional rights, but guess what?!?! They are not citizens, therefore they have not rights.

Anyway, let's hear it! What say your RP members?

Microchip implants like the ones pet owners use to track their dogs and cats could become commonplace in humans in the next decade.

I do not agree with chipping mainly because I think it will be a gate way to put that into ordinary American citizens and search and seizure problems in reference to the U.S. Constitution. Those efforts and funds should be going towards vetting refuges who enter the US.

Sounds good in theory, but no... It would be just a waste of finances and resources since the microchip can be removed by the refugee anyway unless it is quite invasive... And if there is an adverse affect? We own that refugee now... And what would the punishment be for those who didn't comply? We wouldn't send them back to a war zone, nor would we arrest them as we requested/allowed their presence, and they are not criminals... It would be much easier to make them all Americans, or, do what we should be doing in the first place, which is effectively vetting refugees who enter the US so we wouldn't have to "track" them....

Why should the US be taking any at all. Other Arab nations are not. Once those countries take their fair share of "refugees", then maybe the US could.

Micro chipping individuals is against the civil liberties in which we serve to defend. Also if we're gonna recommend finger printing refugees and immigrants then we should mandate all citizens be finger printed in law enforcement databases; otherwise, none of these topics should be discussed nor encouraged by any politician.

I think that would be a waste of money to micro chip all refugees coming into this nation from Syria specifically and wrong for those refugees from areas which are not the result of radical Muslims terrorizing people Sgt Kelli Mays.
I concur with fingerprinting and DNA samples from every refugee which comes into this nation.

Sgt Kelli Mays I don't feel that it's the right thing to do to those people. I think something like that would do our country's reputation of freedom, more harm than good. That would be playing right into ISIS hands, that we are cruel and unfair to refugees. I'm all for DNA and proper vetting, but not put a microchip in them. From what I understand, any foreigner who enters our country legally, are kept track of by the CIA and FBI.

That way we could identify their remains after they blow themselves up. Good idea for record keeping.

A great way to create another government agency and spend more tax payer money just to keep track of them. That would be a Hell No!

Better to not let them in. They'll want to start micro chipping us all

@TSgt Christopher Hicks.....Thanks so much for the DOWN VOTE! I simply asked what your thoughts are about this subject...and to answer your question...if it were my only choice and I had no where to go and it was the stipulation of that country that I get chipped, I sure the hell would do it. It's pretty simple.

We'll essentially microchip ourselves when the music, internet, and communications technology becomes so "good" people will want it. It's like a dependent drug. Who knows what voices the hackers will put in your head? You see it now with kids that can't let go of their "iPacifier".

I'm definitely against the idea. Sure, my fingerprints and DNA are on file, because I served in the military and continue to hold a security clearance. BUT... making everyone do the same, or go as far as to require microchips? That sounds like something out of 1984 to me.

And what about the ones who will cut the chip out. I as a citizen would if I was forced to be chiped!

So your two brilliant suggestions are treat refugees like dogs or treat them like convicted felons. My thoughts are that it is a horrible idea.

Oh my Lord that really does reek of 1984 and Big Brother. Straight out of a Science Fiction Nightmare. I am a techie and a geek but a firm believer that there are just some lines you shouldn't cross and this would be it. Dogs, Cats, Pets no problem. Human Beings, Big Problem. It is tempting but being German American it is exactly the same as the Tattoos on the Jews and the Gypsies. I'll Pass, NO THANK YOU.

WOWOWOWOWO that is a little bit overboard!!!

Does that mean after they become citizen then they remove the chip!?!?!?!?

Are we going to create a "slave" class now?

I understand the concept of "constitutional right" doesn't apply to non-citizen ... but must understand one last thing of our principle make us who we are, are we going to abandon it now for the sake of security? or we lost the true understanding of "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"?

Tread carefully ...some time, something cannot be undone, if you let it happen.

Might as well microchip everyone in the country, it's ridiculously easy to travel here on a tourist visa... if you want to get into country, that is the way to do it. The only reason for a terrorist to come here as a refugee would be to make it more difficult for your enemies to come here and be accepted as refugees.
