Caesar's wife must be above suspicion, but Trump's transition team and ultimately cabinet, seems rife with conflicts of ignorance. The Intercept reports that:
Palantir Technologies, the data mining company co-founded by billionaire and Trump transition advisor Peter Thiel, will likely assist the Trump Administration in its efforts to track and collect intelligence on immigrants, according to a review of public records by The Intercept. Since 2011, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has paid Palantir tens of millions of dollars to help construct and operate a complex intelligence system called FALCON, which allows ICE to store, search, and analyze troves of data that include family relationships, employment information, immigration history, criminal records, and home and work addresses.
I guess this is what happens when you elect a businessman to political office: they run it like a business.
Working closely with a President-elect who has pledged to dramatically expand ICE, Thiel's varied connections to the immigration agency place him in a position to potentially benefit financially from a deportation campaign that carries highly personal stakes for millions of Americans.
They always say: you have nothing to worry about, if you have nothing to hide.
Palantir, which is backed by the CIA's venture capital arm, did not respond to a request for comment regarding its ICE contracts and concerns over potential conflicts of interest. Peter Thiel spokesperson Jeremiah Hall declined to comment on a list of emailed queries, including a question asking whether Thiel has yet signed the Trump transition ethics agreement.

Runaway, you should stay out of debates like this if you are not intelligent enough to understand what law is.
Introduced in House (04/19/2007)
05/04/2007 Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law.
Action By: House Judiciary
04/19/2007 Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Action By: House of Representatives
Since this bill was referred to a subcommittee, it has gone nowhere. Nine years ago. Not a law, a bill introduced by a bunch of racist Republican Congressmen, who are idiots, but I repeat myself. This is no more a law, and even less a law, than the 50 House votes to repeal ACA. Not a law.
