WASHINGTON — Democratic Senator Charles Schumer :wtf: and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said the federal government should require high-technology Social Security cards to make sure employers hire only legal workers.

“A tamper-proof ID system would dramatically decrease illegal immigration, experts have said, and would reduce the government revenue lost when employers and workers here illegally fail to pay taxes,’’ the lawmakers wrote in an article on the website of The Washington Post.

They called for use of biometric Social Security cards that would include a unique characteristic of the cardholder, such as a fingerprint.

The proposal is part of what Graham and Schumer termed a “draft framework’’ for overhauling immigration laws. The framework includes proposals for a temporary worker program and penalties that would allow illegal immigrants to stay after taking steps such as paying fines and performing community service.

“America’s security and economic well-being depend on enacting sensible immigration policies,’’ they wrote.
