This is 100% the kind of issue that makes a government like ours a double-edged sword. Both Democrats and Republicans bring legislation to the table with “good intentions” and then the road to Hell is paved with them.
I maintain that Democrats are far more egregious and widespread, but I am certain Republicans do it too.
There is some high-level coordination going on. Almost as large as our visible US government. Who is doing this? Who is in charge?
