They have my DNA so I'm ****ed if they ever wanna clone me or set me up or screw me. None of which I put past our government if they had a reason. They could give a crap less about who they hurt.You think the mass taking of DNA from children is meant to make sure the adults that accompanying the children are their parents? Besides the obvious flaw in that logic, if one believe that adoptions and step-parents exist south of the border, it seems more probable that this being done, because this administration didn't keep very good records, and had no working plan to identify and reunite these kids with their parents/guardians.
Also, it sets a precedent that may have future consequences for American citizens. I personally don't believe that the DNA taken from these persons will ever be discarded. If the litmus test is "to make sure," what is to prevent such a thing from evolving in the United States, just to make sure? Now, there is an argument to be made, that people that have committed the crime of illegally crossing the border, and have been separated from their parents must give their DNA... but there are plenty of people, who went through the legal method, presenting themselves at a port of entry for asylum, and were separated from their children too. So it begs the question, "where does this end?" If the government can compel the law-abiding to submit their DNA "just to be sure," why is it improbable to believe that they would not attempt, at some point, to take it much, much further. I personally don't trust the govt that much.
People need to stop freely handing over DNA. That **** is your life code and the MOST precious and secret thing you have. The things that can be done with DNA are mindblowing and that is in 2018. What will it be like in 10 or 20 years. You may go to the DNA doc so he can grow you a new heart and transplant it in you, or a new liver or lungs ect. Your EXACT organ only engenieired to have no genetic flaws!! They are playing with this stuff now.
How long before they clone humans or I bet they secretly have.
