Homeland Security: Real ID Act
In order to improve homeland security, make it more difficult for terrorists to obtain fake IDs. Seems very logical.
CNET reports: “Last-minute attempts by online activists to halt an electronic ID card failed Tuesday when the U.S. Senate unanimously voted to impose a sweeping set of identification requirements on Americans.”
The so-called Real ID Act now heads to President Bush, who is expected to sign the bill into law this month. Its backers, including the Bush administration, say it’s needed to stop illegal immigrants from obtaining drivers’ licenses.
Of course, it may not stop renegade states from willingly issuing them out to illegals.
Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, a Wisconsin Republican and Real ID Act sponsor, applauded the Senate vote on Tuesday. “The Real ID is vital to preventing foreign terrorists from hiding in plain sight while conducting their operations and planning attacks,” Sensenbrenner said.
Definitely a step in the right direction.
