Title left out an important word: immigrant children.

- ajross 1y agoComment left out an even more important thing: context for why that matters. Is there a scenario where collecting DNA from native kids is bad in a way that it is not for immigrant (excuse me, "immigrant") kids? Can you explain? Seems like a general principle at work here to me.
- giantg2 1y agoI don't think that's an important word to include. The collection is occurring for citizen children too.
- lithos 1y agoNew Jersey has this of everyone born in the state, and frequently leases out the data to anyone willing to pay. (Taken from blood samples that are used to test for otherwise lethal allergies to babies) It's immensely profitable and cost saving for crime (IE using baby Y genes to find males 4 to 7 generations up/down the bloodline). So makes sense why every govt. org that can force collection will.
