It turns out that the solution to illegal immigration is instituting a nationwide system of digital identity, issued to every baby at birth and containing all your social, education, financial, medical, and employment information.
At least, according to the 40 or so Labour MPs who co-signed an open letter calling for such a system.
Of course, that digital ID could solve the immigration “problem” should come as no surprise. After all, it can solve every “problem”.
It can make sure our elections aren’t rigged. It can protect our children on the internet. It can prevent the spread of disease. It can lower crime. It can tackle truancy and benefit fraud. It can government eliminate inefficiency.
Oh, it’s good for the economy too!
Yay!
