Canadian sheep ready to be chipped

The headline is a bit of a low blow, and the article is so short and devoid of facts that I really should look into what the poll actually says, but anyway:
Most Canadians do not understand what biometrics are, but think the government should use them to prevent prospective immigrants from using bogus identity documents to enter the country, according to a poll obtained by the Globe and Mail.

Fraudulent identity documents are a "very serious problem" and biometrics should be used to prevent people from abusing government programs, including the immigration and refugee systems, said more than half the respondents in the Ipsos Reid survey conducted for the agency Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
There are far easier and less intrusive ways to prevent such abuses, so one is forced to conclude that the same forces that encourage immigration in order to make money are encouraging the use of biometrics in order to have better control over the populace and in order to make more money.
