So as to actually catch people who defy re-entry bans. Smart.

[RasterMaster]

Just think how many unsolved cases will be resolved!

[SMARTY]

Shoulda been doing that all along anyway

[17th Miss Regt]

hundreds of thousands per year!! What a huge task! It’s too big, undoable. So we should just do nothing. (/Democrat)

A typical cheap labor sob story by the WSJ. If you don’t want your cheek swabbed, don’t sneak into our country.

The Trump administration plans to begin taking DNA samples from migrants crossing the border or held in detention for use in a federal criminal database, a significant expansion of immigration laws that is certain to raise privacy concerns.

"Privacy concerns"? Horsefeathers!

This is already the law, with DHS "permitted" to not implement. President Trump is simply revoking the permit. Criminal invaders (crossing the border is a crime) have to "privacy concerns" regarding their DNA.

It will also tend to identify the child traffickers who bring unrelated kids to try and worm their way in.

They are illegal aliens, not immigrants.

This collection of DNA is a subject near and dear to my heart.

I have posted before a program and written successive administrations on implementation of a program.

It would identify the parents of a baby, certainly within the home radius with almost 98% probability - which would rule out who is not the father.

DNA testing of every baby born in the United States would help reduce child support payments by the USG and put the financial responsibility upon the very people who created a baby.

DNA testing could and would help medial analysis of your probability of disease, identification of actual health problems and help to heal people other than the immediate sample.

DNA testing would help identify criminals.

DNA testing by the USG would in a single generation achieve 100% identification of the daddy - and if increase or rape or parents are involved in the creation of a DNA sample (read baby) we can imprison sexual predators.

For the Black Community the ramifications could life their society.

Illegal: This is my daughter.

CBP: Um, no she isn’t.

Tag all illegals with an RFID chip and give them a permanent tattoo before deportation.

injects a new civil-rights issue into the debate about immigration policy.

I know there are people who will think me small minded, bitter, evil; but there is a fundamental question which seems to be avoided most of the time. Do non-citizens have fundamental civil rights within the U.S.A when they are outside of it's borders?

If we are taking the swabs while the "immigrants" are at the entry points, as far as I am concerned, the civil rights people can go hang themselves.

Galaxy-wide injunction from an American Samoa Federal judge-president in 3-2-1...

“...which is sure to face court challenges, injects a new civil-rights issue into the debate about immigration policy...”

Only in the United States could that concept be pursued by complete, utter, totally brainless idiots and get a serious hearing in the courts by like minded individuals.

In California police are required to collect DNA from everyone arrested for a felony and it goes into a permanent database. Required.

Why should foreigners breaking our laws have more rights than California citizens?

Let them argue against that.
