Foreigners in Finland are going to be marked by special bands or implanted with microchips.

Isn't this a great idea? Save billions of tax dollars....

Hopefully when you wake up in the morning you'll rethink your enthusiasm over something so patently egregious.

This is not going to happen.

But would yours be a burning cross or someone in white sheets?

Maybe a woman with a black eye knowing your human rights posting record.

Why is it "patently egregious"?

It's about time America starts to identify and address the illegal aliens who are destroying this country from the inside out and this appears to be an excellent way of keeping track of citizens of other countries who either stay past their visa limit or are here illegally.

What about my "human rights posting record"?

People in white sheets like this person?



Or this one?

No, they're not. Rather, what happened is that a single aide to a single Finnish MP suggested in a blog post (since deleted) that foreigners should be required to wear such marks.
What PS MP aide Helena Eronen wrote about sleeve badges for foreigners in Finland « Migrant Tales

Aside from the fact that your claim is completely wrong, here's a thought -- people who enter the country illegally won't stop by and get microchips saying "Hi, I'm a foreigner!" implanted in themselves.

Duh...

And whatever savings might be realized by finding those who have overstayed their VISAs would be lost to the cost of equipping every LEO nationwide with an RFID scanner.

Duh...

Other than that, great plan...

why not chip everybody. especially politicians. if you chip at the border crime will vanish. u no longer wonder where they are and what they are doing, u will already know. if u r hiring illegals, they wont even talk to you. if u r speeding they will just issue will save billions. however remember america being the land of 2nd chance????, that will kill it dead forever. not good.

No, our government shouldn't be allowed to chip anyone, because it will lead to it chipping everyone.
