DHS intends to add state driver's license information to a swiftly expanding federal system envisioned as a one-stop shop for checking citizenship. Earlier this year, DHS added millions of Americans' Social Security data to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system, allowing officials to use the tool to conduct bulk searches of voter rolls for the first time. SAVE also recently expanded to include passport and visa information. This is just another step by the sinister Trumpf junta to increase federal police and snooping powers, by-passing safeguards and privacy laws. Imagine a country where a federal agent on Main Street or a CBP inspector at the Canadian border knowing everything "A to Z" about any American, resident, or migrant they encounter, just by looking into the massive electronic gulag DHS is compiling, all without the need for a warrant.

State driver's license databases often include a variety of sensitive information including place of birth, passport number, biometrics, address, email, and employment information. All of this becomes available to federal investigators, Border Patrol agents, ICE thugs, CBP inspectors, FBI and DEA agents, US Marshals, et al in the voluminous database DHS is amassing on everyone in the US.
Soon, federal agents won't have to ask "Papers, please." They will just scan your iris and know everything about you.
