Donald Trump's team 'discussing plans for Muslim registration system'

Donald Trump’s policy advisors are discussing plans to establish a registry for Muslim immigrants in the US, a man believed to be a key member of the President-elect's transition team has revealed.

Kris Kobach, the secretary of state for Kansas, said the President-elect’s advisors were looking at how to implement a proposal suggested by the billionaire businessman that would force immigrants from Muslim countries to register on a database.

Trump has already started to backtrack on The Wall, but it looks like he does plan to make good on his promises regarding Muslims. Note that his policy about banning Muslim immigrants, which was taken off his website after it was rightly criticized before the election, is back up.

I think it would be successfully challenged in court especially if it targets just one group.

You mean there isn't already such a database?

I'm sure there's a database the NSA has somewhere, however accurate it might be.

A registry seems to imply that it would be something in the public record, that people would be required by law to sign into and keep current, and would be potentially a part of the public record. This idea is fucking shitty shit shit.

There is, or was. It was partial, though. Only certain residents/aliens from certain countries were on it, and they were required to do regular check ins. It was just after 9/11 and I don't recall that it lasted beyond a few years.
The countries I recall being on it were: Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, perhaps Sudan, and I know there were more.

Which makes sense, because any of those countries residents were hijackers who perpetrated 9/11. (Hint: They weren't)

Here's an article from Vox :

Donald Trump’s proposed “Muslim registry,” explained

Apparently -
Quote
Under NSEERS, certain “foreign citizens and nationals” in the US had to come into immigration offices for fingerprinting, photos, and interviews — and then had to check in again at designated intervals.
But this “special registration” system was selective. It only applied to people on non-immigrant visas (including tourism and work visas). It only applied to men over the age of 16. And it only applied to people from a list of countries the Bush administration considered “havens for terrorists.”
There were 25 countries on the “special registration” list. Twenty-four were majority-Muslim countries. The 25th was North Korea.
Over the next decade, more than 80,000 men were put into NSEERS “special registration” database — Muslims and non-Muslims from suspected countries alike. But to Muslim American and civil rights groups, the fact that the Bush administration was responding to 9/11 by ordering thousands of Muslim men to show up to register with the government was de facto discriminatory.

Yeezevee you will have to register if you still have a Muslim name.

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

Pfft. Yeezevee would walk right up to Donald Trump and scream his identity into his face before making him watch twelve You Tubes on the subject of identity and Islam.
