"Licenses "started as a permission to drive," he said. "Now you need them to open a bank account. You need them to be identified everywhere. And suddenly they're becoming the de facto law enforcement database."

Most places already use DMV records to locate fugitives. They flag the files and when those individuals renew driver's licenses, submit change of address, etc, they show up at the fugitive's home and arrest them. Of course, this facial recognition thing is way more advanced and likely cuts down on errors due to shared names (i.e. arresting "john smith", who is not really the john smith they are after), so it's actually a good thing if you look at it that way.

they're just looking for alien infiltrators.
luckily i'm 100 american meat and potatos.

no i am not they draw blood from your child and hold for some time. it was in the news a while back.

Who is "they"? The federal government? A local government? Aliens? The cast of "Full House"?

"They" sure as hell don't do that here, so it must be limited to a certain area. Parents have to give consent for any blood to be drawn or any tests to be performed on their child, just FYI.
