US Government Working on Unique Identity for Immigrants

The Biden administration will create a new identification card for immigrants that will serve as a single card to access immigration files and eventually be accepted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for travel.

Various criticisms have been aimed at the current administration and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency for the handling of the flow of immigrants across the US southern border.

Officials are now advocating a form of photo ID that, they claim, will provide transparency to the immigration process. Called the ‘Secure Docket Card’ (SDC), the card is expected to contain the name and nationality of the person, as well as a QR code to access a new portal that will contain relevant immigration information.
