"extreme vetting" would make sure the U.S. only accepts the *right* people"

And who would those be?

ICE is seeking computer programs for using

ideological certification to make sure that those we are admitting to our country share our values and love our people.”


which they will do by using:

Essentially, anything online that doesn’t require a password would be fair game under the Extreme Vetting Initiative:

The Contractor shall analyze and apply techniques to exploit publically [sic] available information, such as media, blogs, public hearings, conferences, academic websites, social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, radio, television, press, geospatial sources, internet sites, and specialized publications with intent to extract pertinent information regarding targets, including criminals, fugitives, nonimmigrant violators, and targeted national security threats and their location.


via for profit businesses, of course. For a lot of money.

Oh, and those snoopy privacy concerns that the ACLU successfully challenged TWICE in the recent past??
“We will continue to do it until someone says that we can’t.”
