Immigration is literally one of the most complex issues out there. There is a reason it hasn't been solved even when there is large agreement that there are problems that keep getting worse. Such topics *need* to be broken down into constitutant parts and discussed piecemeal. This was such an opportunity to discuss the intersection of data issues and immigration (and law enforcement generally).
It is about databases that were not priviously merge, for defined policy and legal reasons. It is important to discuss such things without general discussion of "how should we fix immigration". Your post (#38) had many perfectly reasonable discussion points about databases, etc., but it didn't need the maximalist discussion of everything. We don't need to do the work of the hyperpartisans.
The "immigration problem" has been around for a long time. It isn't being fixed any time soon, including by Trump's recent burst of activity. The merging of previously unconnected databases is a much more immediate threat..
[ETA: most of this thread isn't even about the data issues anymore and has become a pointless back and forth.]
That would be intellectual property theft, not privacy.
