If tRump Co. can do this to migrants, what’s to stop them from doing it to us?

Nothing. The abuses of a police state on the vulnerable will inexorably be expanded to encompass all but the ruling party’s connected members. Everyone else is presumed guilty and deprived of liberty, even the smucks who voted for it. Turkeys voting for Christmas.

Fun fact, vaccination costs less than DNA analysis, and would do more to protect people living in the US.

With that reasoning, why not put everyone’s DNA into a database right after birth. That would be much more effective. I bet you could even catch some of those ice cream lickers that way.

What! I missed out, fu#k…
So we magically have the resources to start running tons of DNA tests? (assuming they’re storing data, and not just degradable samples)…
Maybe we use some of those resources running DNA tests on various localities multi-year backlogs of rape test kits?
Nah, swab every brown person in the off chance that someone commits an unspecified crime at a later date…

I can’t overstate this-
This is wrong, and will lead to dna databases for EVERYONE.
Where are all those assholes that are all ready to say “come and get em” when they think the government is coming for their guns? So when its your DNA, you trust the fucks?
Yeah, that’s what I thought, you wannabe cowboy authoritarian booklicking bastards.
Fuck this, harder than anything else Trump has ever done.
