I just said it. Biometrics. Every legal encounter since probably 2022 or 2023 has included fingerscans. Anyone who sought permission to enter the United States voluntarily gave us their biometrics. Anyone who entered illegally but later adjusted status to a legal one also gave biometrics. Anyone who can't give biometrics is going to be investigated as unlawfully present. I'm not sure how hard that is to understand. |
So if I am a legal person but not in the biometricts system, what prevents me from being detained? |

^^ Yep, it's all digitized, highly secure documents and electronic records nowadays. And the DNA resources are already in place worldwide to confirm that claimed blood relatives actually are related.
People talking about showing 'papers' are out of touch. The digital infrastructure has been put in place for years by both Democrats and Republicans. All that's lacking now is the political desire to enforce the law. And that's the primary issue on the ballot in a couple weeks. |
again, I am walking down the street, I "look" like an immigrant. I don't have any "papers" with me, an enforcement officer approaches me. What is the law here? What am I expected to do? What are my rights? |
If you are legal, you have a record based on your A-number. If you are illegal and the United States has had an encounter with you in the past, you probably also have a file. This election is really not a vote about whether the records infrastructure is in place. It is. Its a vote about whether we chose to apply the immigration laws passed by Congress. We'll all know the results soon enough. |
Nobody will ever do that. In some countries they actually do do that so you just walk around with ID. |
Yep he sure will sane as many others in Trumps world. If you think your family is safe from Nazi miller by all means vote for Don. I will be laughing when he rounds you up. Because he will. |
That's a fun fantasy land conversation, but let's focus on how it actually works. Everyone who is known illegal has registered their whereabouts. We start there by removing them, and also focus on local law enforcement arrests for other crimes like assault or drug possession, and remove those. Then you inform the community that everyone who voluntarily leaves will have their period of unlawful presence waived, and that incentivizes several millions to leave on their own, because then they will have a chance to enter legally someday without that period of illegality creating a ban on admission. |
And you think it is acceptable to be approached by "law enforcement" as a legal citizen and be asked for proof of legality? |
I don't understand Trump voters at all. |
You are only looking at this one way. You assume a level of benevolance on the part of the people doing the "enforcing" - but 1) how does the interaction take place? 2) what rights are there for people to prove their legality? what if a legal person doesn't have ID on them? How is it legal for this to take place without personal and civil rights being violated? |
I walk around a lot without ID. So what happens if I get a approached? What if I don't want to be engaged by MAGA brownshirts? Am I going to get rounded up too? |
| Here for the “if you have nothing to hide, you’ll have no problem complying with the law” comments … |
How do you ensure nobody will ever do that? there is precedence in history and in other countries right now that such is not the case. |
Okay hotshot. How do you start removing them? Where to? With what budget? It's going to cost like a trillion to do this and massively spike food and construction costs. |
