The Trump administration is planning to require undocumented immigrants to join a federal registry, threatening potential fines, prison time and deportation for anyone caught failing to participate. Adding to President Donald Trump’s broad immigration crackdown, enforcement of the “Alien Registration Requirement” is rooted in a 1940 law intended to root out subversive activities and identify anyone trying to overthrow the US government.

“The Trump administration will enforce all our immigration laws — we will not pick and choose which laws we will enforce,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Tuesday.

Under the new requirement, any foreigner 14 years old or above who hasn’t previously been fingerprinted or registered by the US government must join the registry and update their current address if they have been in the country more than 30 days.

There’s been previous attempts to use a registration system on a smaller scale. Former President George W. Bush started a requirement for some visa holders shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, known as NSEERS, targeted all males 16 and older from 25 countries, all but one of which had a Muslim majority.

1. i think this is fair

we should have their fingerprints and probably dna.

does the fbi still have those fingerprints and dna databases or is that all in patel's "deep state museum? "

[NotHardly]

24. The camp trains will be more efficient

[underpants]

2. So people who are already laying low but working are going to sign up suddenly

and get fingerprinted?

[birdographer]

23. This was my response

Anyone falling for this would walk in the front door to register and immediately be shuttled out the back door and into a bus going to a camp or who knows where. They obviously think that these immigrants are as stupid as MAGAts.

[mwooldri]

3. let me get this straight...

The DJT regime is asking "illegal aliens" to register. To what end? Make it easier to report them I suppose. They're already "under the radar" so to speak.

What next? Some order that those who are engaging in government corruption should turn themselves in?

[Lovie777]

4. Trap..................

have they around up white illegals yet?

[PurgedVoter]

5. The purpose is to make illegals criminal

An alien in our country is not a criminal. Their illegal status is civil. After they have been rounded up, things change. Reentry or escape turn it into a criminal charge. This is yet another ruse to change illegal status into criminal status. The end goal here is to kick down and show how racist they are without actually showing how racist they are.

[JoseBalow]

31. This is exactly correct.

Though I would prefer using the term "undocumented" instead of "illegal."

It criminalizes them, and makes it easier for them to be rounded up and...

[Montauk6]

6. What's next?

The armbands or the tattoos?

[Ray Bruns]

7. Maybe they can all wear a certain color piece of cloth in a certain design on their clothing.

Something that stands out, like say a yellow Star of David so we know who these people are at all times.

[Montauk6]

9. (naive vent?) Those midterms can't come SOON enough!!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Or in the more modern sense

like "Idiocracy" -

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

14. I have extolled the prophecy for years...

... eom.

[people]

26. In Poland in WWII ---

the Nazis first required the jews to register themselves with the local Nazi government. Months later they were all "relocated." These Trumpers are way way beyond horrible.

[The Mouth]

27. Nah, microchip.

Then even if they return all the police will need is some sort of scanner.

Never underestimate the enemy.

[LymphocyteLover]

8. this is just another thing that we do already but trump pretends it is something he came up with

and he also makes it seem as sinister as possible.

[Lokee11]

21. Heard the Orange 💩 also said he has this crazy idea

To Make Crime Illegal.

I mean -


✊FDT&ELMO!!!

[LymphocyteLover]

29. LOL!!!! He is fricking insane!!!!

Did you see his gaza resort video!?!?!

[hunter]

10. We should all fill out the registry and choose which science fiction planet we are from.

I'm from Tatooine, where I tended the water stills and repaired robots.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

11. Yeah, and admit that my real name is...

... Zaphod Beeblebrox . "Hey, you should love me, I keep the Vogons occupied so they don't ZAP Earth..."

[Botany]

12. Trump seems to forget who built his New Jersey Golf Course and the demolition to build Trump Towers

[NBachers]

15. "identify anyone trying to overthrow the US government." I know who belongs at the top of that list.

[angrychair]

16. Starting to sound like

The 1935 Nuremberg Race laws.

[Bengus81]

17. Ok..let's get fingerprints from JD Vance's wife. According to Trump she's here illegally....

[Deminpenn]

18. I don't know. Maybe it's better to be known than unknown

to be in the open rather than constantly hiding and worrying.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. That only works for European-descended immigrants (with some caveats)

Everyone else has a "different rules" applied. I.e., "target and deport" immediately.

It's been that way as a FEATURE and not a "bug" since this country was founded.

[Deminpenn]

20. These undocumented are already being targeted and the round ups

are indiscriminate on who is being arrested. Just thinking it might be better to "play by the rules" right now.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Many of the people being "targeted" have been "racially profiled"

as a number of CITIZENS (some multi-generational) have been caught in the round-ups.

Trump immigration raids snag U.S. citizens, including Native Americans, raising racial profiling fears

American citizens, including citizens of Native tribal nations, have been pulled into the vast immigration operations ordered by President Donald Trump in accordance with his campaign vow to conduct mass deportations since Day 1. Those who are getting caught in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement raids are being targeted because of their race or skin color, according to witnesses.

The Navajo Nation Office was flooded with calls from tribal members living off-reservation, with many reporting being questioned about their identity by ICE officers, Native News Online reported.

Questioning of Navajo Nation citizens, who are American citizens, by ICE has been problematic enough that Navajo President Buu Nygren took to the airwaves to address it. On tribal radio station KTNN, Nygren said he had received accounts of “negative and sometimes traumatizing” encounters between ICE and Navajo Nation citizens, Native News Online reported.

He advised Navajo Nation residents to carry identification, driver’s licenses and their Certificate of Indian Blood.

I'm waiting for them to start rounding up all those Irish in Boston on expired student and tourist visas.



(it was a "problem" in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and now 21st centuries)

The "rules" are "set" based on RACISM.

[Bayard]

25. Papers please!

[jmowreader]

28. In other words...

…it’s easier to catch these people and dump ‘em “in Mexico, where you belong” if they voluntarily walk into a police station.

[JoseBalow]

30. Fascists love putting people on lists

This is some straight-up Nazi shit right here.
