robert caro talks about lbj
a documentary on caro. what i haven't found yet is the part, if any, where caro explains the 1964 civil rights act. i might have to wait for the book, 2012-2013ish.
Right now my internet connection is so slow I can't watch these, and it's frustrating.

ID Card for Workers Is at Center of Immigration Plan
By LAURA MECKLER
Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain.
Under the potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker.
