Somewhat - it's a process; fill out forms. You need a reason for inquiring - you just can't ask - you need a reason. The government doesn't just do whatever it wants.
Are they going to run a request process for every individual? How many government hours will that consume?
What they want is to have free access to the database - which is unacceptable. HOWEVER MUCH I support Florida's efforts to curtail this and control this: I don't believe they have the right to do so by taking over the database system for a while.
I have not seen any indication that they want free access to the database. Have you? DHS has a per use fee that they evidently feel is enough to cover their costs. Since they reported a 14% profit in user fees, they are obviously charging enough for use of the database.
They want to use it the same way hundreds of other agencies and states have... to verify immigration status.
