With all due respect, we simply have different views on the morality of the issue.

However, I would suggest others consider what an evil leftist, for example, could do with the same technology.

What are some things that could they do?

Right-leaning policy in 2025 typically leans towards enforcing the laws as written: in this case, immigration law is being bolstered by surveillance technology.

Which laws are liberals going to theoretically now start radically enforcing that conservatives were turning a blind eye to? Flock cameras don't exactly help the IRS make the rich "pay their fair share."

		Any political ideology could be bolstered with the heavy handed use of surveillance technology. That's why groups like the ACLU and EFF exist. They both vehemently agree that there's no such thing as a good police state. Even if your team is running it. If you want specific examples, I'd point to the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. The left wants to throw people in prison for years for protesting while the right wants to pretend it doesn't exist and allow women seeking abortions to be intimidated. I'd also point to the levels of technology deployed to catch the January 6 perpetrators. I live in DC and have a hard time doing a both-sides here since the experience of living in a city under attack is still rather raw; whatever your views, you can't describe the right's response as "enforcing the laws as written."
