Peter Thiel Is Spending $850k to Bring ‘Muslim Registry’ Architect to Senate

This is untrue, a "Muslim Registry" has never been proposed by Kobach.

He called for reinstating the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System [0], "a system for registering certain non-citizens within the United States, initiated in September 2002 as part of the War on Terrorism".

edit: Just for the record, it would predominantly target Muslims from SOME countries, so it's not totally crazy for one to call it that (tho inaccurate). But the article doesn't make any indication of "Muslim Registry" being a pejorative political term used to criticize the plan.

While Peter Thiel may say many things about progress, his actions seem to imply he thinks that the one of the main barriers to progress is immigrants.

It is not just Peter Thiel. Some PACs aligned with the Democratic party are doing the same thing. Making Kobach the nominee is the best path to flipping the KS Senate seat over to the Dems. Kobach is political poison, but it does not surprise me that a fascist like Thiel supports him.
