Viet-Justice

New Jersey is not exactly the best place in the world, and the latest news from ABC shows that it has taken a step down hill.  Congo, a German Shepherd, attacked an illegal immigrant in Princeton, NJ and has been ordered to be executed by a judge.  A petition to Gov. Corzine to pardon the dog has gone unnoticed.  An anonymous resident made this foolish statement,

“I would hate my hometown and home state to go down in history as the place where suburbanites value their dogs above their lives of those they hire to tend their yards,”

Who had their life endangered?  I don’t see any papers identifying any US Citizen or authorized resident alien endangered by Congo.  If you are an undocumented worker, then you don’t exist in any database and therefore should not be entitled to any inputs into our civil or criminal justice system.  We need changes in legislation to allow us to identify individuals that have no rights to our government services and block them using ID Cards or other technologies.  If you can’t produce an ID Card that proves you are a citizen or lawful resident alien, then the computer will not allow you to fill out any of the forms necessary to file a civil lawsuit.  If the police scan your ID and it says you are not here legally, the computer will not let them file a report.  I think technology can be the fix for many of our problems, if we use it correctly.  If these electronic measures were in effect, then Congo would not be in this situation.
