On this episode of Registry Matters… we challenge lazy narratives about undocumented immigrants by recalling America’s own history of unlawful border‑crossing, then dig into how rights, responsibilities, and policy actually collide. We unpack whether the Constitution’s Full Faith and Credit Clause forces states to honor another state’s PFR registration obligations, contrasting it with same‑sex marriage recognition and the registry’s civil‑regulatory framing. We revisit the passport‑marking fight: why earlier cases stumbled and how smarter, tightly targeted litigation could succeed. We also highlight a federal court’s rejection of the Sentencing Guidelines’ archaic 75:1 image‑to‑video multiplier, a notable step toward proportionality. And we close with the thorny politics of shutting down obsolete prisons, where justice reform, community jobs, and state budgets all pull in different directions.

The Registry Matters Podcast’s mission is to cover issues surrounding the Registry. We cover cases that will peel back the veneer of what we need to do to change our lives for the better. We cover news articles that spark conversations about the total insanity of this modern day witch hunt. This podcast will call out bad policy and call out those that are making bad policy.

To change things for the positive, we need to act. We are 6-7-8-900k strong. With that many people, plus their friends and family, over a million people are affected by the registry. We should be able to secure donations to hire lawyers and lobbyists to move the agenda in our favor. We need our people to be represented.
