Bullet point: These factors are vague. They cover everybody in this country. Are we now all ‘pre abductors’?

(f) lacks strong familial, financial, emotional, or cultural ties to the state or the United States;
(g) has strong familial, financial, emotional, or cultural ties to another state or country;

Do you want people to be treated and labeled as if they are ‘abductors’ if they have a sister that lives in another state?

own property in another state?

are of german, english, or spanish heritage and because they have links to these communities in other states?

are ‘emotionally attached’ to Seattle somehow?

if you don’t have any family living in your present State, are you at risk?

if you are poor and don’t have any money are you at risk?

if you are not ‘culturally connected’ somehow to your current state, are you at risk?

if you are not ‘emotionally connected’ to your current state, are you at risk?
