“Carson added that “hopefully, we already have a database on every citizen who is already here. If we don’t, we are doing a very poor job.”
It’s a true statement, starting with our birth certificates.
Our jobs as citizens is to make our representatives manage and protect our data to our benefit.
No, Ben, I hope we don’t have a database on Americans.
When we immigrated here (from Scotland) in 1952, we were each issued a green card, and once a year in January we had to each take our green card to the nearest post office, and confirm our address and whatever other info. was taken from it. Once we were naturalized that was no longer necessary. If they are not still doing that, they should be! It is one way to know where all these emigrees are at least once a year...of course, the criminal element won’t comply, but then they could issue warrants against those for non compliance and nab these individuals when they are stopped for traffic citations, etc.
I think the guy is half-cracked, but he’s still better than a pos democRat. lol
Growing up in the early ‘60s, I still recall cartoonish TV commercials sternly warning “aliens” (yes, they called them that) to register by a given date, or experience severe legal penalties.
The commercials were, to a 6 year old, rather intimidating. Mom and Dad explained what was going on (not sure I understood it then, but I sure do now).
That was way back when responsible adults were in charge of the government.
Everyone who enters the country is in an INS database, citizens, residents and aliens.
