Unfortunately, the enemy we face is unlike any Jefferson probably imagined when he said that.

In any case, I would rather live in a country that deported/interned Muslims than one which had national ID cards/databases on every citizen.

Yep. The ACLU sees that TSA doesn't take too strong a peek at swarthy travelers... can't profile the types that would kill us... and soooooo... we're gonna keep closer track of citizens, oh, and leave it up to the AG whether you are evil. There, that will make it better. I see a parallel with DC gun control here in the first part, and see a Hillary in all the "evil" citizen's futures in the second.

There are many who do that - take your pick. Given that you are here posting, I would assume that your intelligent and fairly successful so I am sure that any of them would gladly let you in.
North Korea, the USSR (oh wait.. their citizens didn't like that too much) - try Russia, China (I hear they are booming right now).(seriously - setting the good natured sarcasm aside)

From the beginning of organized governments there has never been a government with unlimited power and control that didn't abuse it and become repressive. While times may have changed, human nature has not.
If we fail to study history we are doomed to repeat it.
