REDESIGNED: Green Cards Turn Green Again
May 11, 2010, 3:46 pm
Green Cards to Be Green
By NINA BERNSTEIN
Everyone calls it a “green card,” but for many years the coveted identification that immigration authorities issue to lawful permanent residents has been variously pink, beige, blue, white — just about anything but green.
Now it will be, though that is the least high-tech feature of a redesign announced Tuesday by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The new card, which will replace those now in circulation as they are lost or renewed, incorporates holographic images, laser engraved fingerprints and radio frequency identification chips that will allow Customs and Border Protection officers at ports of entry to read the card from a distance, immigration officials said.
“Among the benefits of the redesign: Secure optical media will store biometrics for rapid and reliable identification of the card holder,” the agency’s statement said.
Is this a preview of the biometric Social Security card that Senator Charles Schumer has proposed for all citizens who want to work, part of his outline for comprehensive immigration reform? Stay tuned.

Do not believe this card full of fakery. 
Listen to the truth.
She looks 25 year's, young, tight and exotic from the east married to a 90 year old USC.
No comments please.
