CNN Commentator: Sessions Could “Weaponize” Dreamer Data in “Sinister” Way
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/06/2017 7:10:43 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On CNN this morning, Daily Beast editor-in-chief and CNN political analyst John Avlon painted a very dark picture of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his potential use of data provided to the federal government by “Dreamers.” Said Avlon:

“They are facing deportation after they gave their information and their addresses to the federal government. And all of a sudden now, Jeff Sessions . . . is in a position to weaponize that data, and go after these Dreamers, in a way that could be incredibly ugly in six months and is sinister.”

One of the many ingenious aspects of Trump’s policy on this issue was continuing the program so that Sessions and his people could get their teeth into it and have full access to the data - rather than trying to stop it on Day 1, only to have the Obama holdovers running the program ‘accidentally’ lose all the data.

Weaponize? I sure hope so. The invaders have become way too powerful and need to be reminded that this country has LAWS that will be enforced. They have become way too comfortable with the enabler-Left, allowing the LAWS of this country to be broken without consequence. Following the LAWS of this country needs to become fashionable again......NOW.

Oh, so now personal information in the hands of government is a bad thing.

Most people here in the USA understand the difference between legal and illegal by the end of 5th grade.

Obama weaponizes government = “Fine and constitutional.”
Sessions weaponizes = “Sinister.”

Deluded pieces of used food, the leftists.

Sessions “could” stab Trump in the throat with a pen too. But that isn’t news either.

Amazing how enforcing our national laws re immigration is now being labeled as Weaponizing the Data!

Which means there is some really bad data re crimes preferences for jobs and probably the state universities* across this country.

*Data is starting to ooze out in California, that this has happened in spades to keep California kids out of the Cal University systems in favor of Opecker kids and probably these Dreamers. Plus raising tuition costs for California kids who were accepted, making it a double whammy against the kids, parents and other tax paying family members.

I suspect a lot of these so-called "Dreamers" are thinking the same thing.

After Sessions' announcement we had the predictable lamentations and phony outrage in our local media outlets in my area. But even the news website that was trying to make the case that overturning DACA would have terrible negative economic consequences admitted that only about 40% of the illegal immigrants in my state who were eligible for protection under DACA had actually gone through the process to apply for the proper documentation.

Yea, the better informed ones understood the risks of turning over all that data (including fingerprints, I suspect).

What is a shame is that the 800,000 number could have been much lower if the Republicans had played up that risk a bit, instead of running for the hills on the issue.

“weaponize” “ugly” “sinister”

Scare words, dressing up a commentary devoid of real meaning. He may as well just repeat the words “i hate him i hate him i hate him” over and over again for 2 minutes.
