This is not the wrong way to approach a real plague. Kushner isn't much of an ideologue from what I can tell - he's a meticulous details guy, sort of robotically attacking a problem handed to him. He's not in charge of anything important and never has been, he's a QA guy that Trump trusts.
In the event where you have an emerging outbreak coming in from other countries this approach is the exact correct way to stop it. Further, if we had a national real time dashboard showing that only niggers and illegal spics living in subdivided basement units the media lie would be a lot harder. Kushner is promoting truth here, and that should not be met with excess paranoia.
A solution created by government should never be judged by what it's creators say it will do. Rather, judge it by what someone with other intentions could do with it. The creators won't always be around to control it and the next people elected might not be "good guys".
That's a good point. The most important thing about any emergency measures is the sunsetting. In the US, the peaceful transfer of power by the executive sets this standard and is critical to the functioning of every other aspect of the system. That's why Obama needs gitmo.
