Some people around here read the word “ID” and then react with the emotions of a liberal.

Technology has made it easier to counterfeit money, so they changed the money to make it more difficult.

Technology has made it easier to counterfeit identifications, but nobody has done anything to make them more secure.

You cannot throw out the “foreigners” without a means of identifying them. The current means do not work.

You get it. I am part of a grassroots immigration group that lobbies on the Hill and the state house. We have been trying to get the E-Verify program made permanent and mandatory to ensure that American jobs go to American workers. Real ID is another needed program so we can weed out the illegals and terrorists.

Unfortunately, much of the opposition to these programs come from the US Chamber of Commerce and misguided libertarians who don't even understand what is contained in the Real ID act. We have illegals voting and getting driver's licenses. Four states still issue illegals driver's licenses, which allows them to move freely around the country, open bank accounts, etc.
