This will eventually likely be for all of us but immigrant children are pretty “disappearable”.

They try to do that all the time...

If your born in a hospital, they took your blood.

Some states save it, and some of them later sell it, or give it to cops.

Some states allow the blood spots to be used in research studies, sometimes by third parties for a fee, or provided to law enforcement personnel investigating a crime. Permitting these or other uses without parents’ informed consent that they understand and agree to the use has prompted lawsuits from parents who want to make those decisions themselves and who seek to protect their children’s medical and genetic information.

A little paper card with all you info and some blood splashed on it. They've been doing it for about 40 or 50 years now.

It's not new, just most people are ignorant of a lot of shit
