2) Has someone studied at a Madras
3) Has someone called a phone number that may be of interest
Defining what those variables are and how to track them will be a challenge but not unworkable. I suspect much of these are already being done. The mistake Trump made was saying only for Muslims.

I expect something along those lines already exists. A targeted database of persons of interest makes sense. That's a far cry from your original intent to have a database for foreigners.
