Apparently this was never addressed. Which seems rather insane, given the exponential growth in identity theft, and the amount of personal information that Americans are required to put into the system.

Marco Rubio has apparently introduced a bill to forbid the hiring of felons as Navigators. Yea or Nay?
 
Navigators of what?

Forgive me. I'm a foreigner.

Felons should not be allowed to work at all, ever, in any job. They broke the law, their life is over. But lets clarify - felons or ex-felons?
 
Good point - it was assumed that it was people who had broken the law, done jail time, and were now out.

:) Obamacare. These are the people that we are supposed to hand over our social security numbers, birthdates, medical issues, personal and family information.... everything that is an identity thief's dream.

Ah. I see. In that case, it's a moral debate. Personally, I'm gonna err on the side of caution and say no. At least concerning those convicted of the more serious crimes. Especially as they might relate specifically to white collar crime. Why take the chance when there are persons of impeccable character to fill the vacancies?

Bingo. It's veterans day - we have 10% unemployment among recent veterans, and they have all already had a background check, and many probably even have SECRET clearances. Let's hire them.

Sounds good to me. As you say, at least we know they've been screened.
 
I'm fine with being as strict as possible regarding the navigators.
 
Are we discussing the felons who work at the prisons or are we discussing people who have completed their punishment and had their civil rights restored AKA ex-felons.

I must admit I'm OK with both for different reasons and a few obvious precautions.
 
What was the person's felony? Was it ID theft or something related, or was it completely unrelated?

Anyway, in answer to the question, I say no restrictions. You already hand over personal identifying information on an almost daily basis to people you don't know, many of whom have questionable character. Don't be a chicken little over isolated, albeit high-profile, incidents.
