Non-Citizen Voting, New York City Council, Green Cards
The New York City Council is considering a bill to allow 800,000 non-citizens with green cards or work permits to vote in local elections. The hosts debate the merits of local voting rights for property owners versus temporary residents.
Visa Citizen Card, National ID Surveillance
A new "Visa Citizen Card" in the UK combines government-recognized photo ID with a prepaid debit card. The hosts criticize the product as a tool for total surveillance, allowing the government and corporations to track a citizen's age, identity, and spending in one "piece of plastic." They compare it to the long-discussed national ID card in the United States.
