CITIZEN DATABASE The Commission for Immigration Reform has recommended a national computer database containing the names of every citizen or legal alien with a Social Security number or a green card. Prospective employers could then check the database to verify job applicants' information. The proposal has bipartisan support in Congress, but has alarmed many privacy experts.
