You were warned it was coming for you, now here it is.
And with Drones, Total internet and telephone Surveillance,
Papers required to Travel [1], Social Credit Scoring (down-caste-ing),
and Marxist Democrats coming for your guns... all documented
in news. You've well and truly fucked yourselves and your country.
There's only one way out and it ain't looking pretty.
Good luck, lol.

Mandatory biometrics gathering of iris images, palm and voice prints,
facial recognition images, and DNA from Natural Born and lawful US
Citizens.

"The Department of Homeland Security also for the first time would
gather that data from American citizens sponsoring or benefiting from
a visa application.
Years in the making, the biometrics immigration rule has garnered more
than 160 comments since its Sept. 11 publication. The 30-day comment
period closes on Oct 13.
The 300-plus-page plan updates current biometrics requirements so that
"any applicant, petitioner, sponsor, beneficiary, or individual filing
or associated with an immigration benefit or request, including U.S.
citizens, must appear for biometrics collection without regard to age"
The DHS estimates an additional 2.17 million new biometrics
submissions will be collected annually, an increase from the current
3.9 million, under the rule. The DHS already collects fingerprints
from some visa applicants. The new rule would expand that
biometrics-gathering to iris images, palm- and voice- prints, facial
recognition images, and DNA. The agency wants authority to require or
request DNA testing to prove familial relationships where kinship is
in question. The DNA data could be stored indefinitely, under the
proposed rule."

Not to mention all the "Drivers Licence" biometric identity cards,
"geneology" websites, vacuumed into traded among Federal, State,
corporate databases.




"
If Americans stand still for this, the beginning of the end of your
experiment in representative democracy starts here. And it will spread
rapidly beyond your borders. There isn't a government on the planet
that isn't thirsty for this kind of capability to destroy the very
idea of the term "private citizen". Also, is anybody stupid enough to
believe that once the precedent for this kind of data collection is
set, it will end at immigrants and their sponsors? If you think about
it, you'll realize it already goes a lot further than the identified
target groups.
Anyone supporting this is either a damned fool or a fascist.
