I find it strange that a lot of people really really like what Bernie or Hillary have to say - both are promising more government and by its nature, a much bigger government. Then they howl to the rafters when they actually GET a bigger government.
Case in point from The Register:
Visiting America? US border agents want your Twitter, Facebook URLs
The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency wants to collect links to social network accounts of people visiting the Land of the FreeTM.
Under new proposals, each traveler filling out an I-94 travel form or applying for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) visa will be asked for "information associated with your online presence/social media identifier."
In other words, you'll be asked to hand over your Twitter and Instagram handles, Facebook and LinkedIn URLs, and so on, so you can be watched.
"It will be an optional data field to request social media identifiers to be used for vetting purposes, as well as applicant contact information," the proposal states.
But it is just for visitors to our shores - not for our citizens. For now - just you wait. And not a peep about the illegal immigrants streaming over our Southern borders - you know, the ones with ties to ISIS and Muslim Brotherhood, the career criminals whom we are supporting with our tax dollars. How do the ISIS people coordinate? Facebook and Twitter accounts. Shouldn't we get to know their handles?
