It's time the federal government and the states stopped fooling around and made a standardized system that can positively identify persons inside our borders. States that want to be soft on illegal immigrants should not be allowed to issue identification to them which allows them to vote or get federal or state benefits. This solves multiple problems of 1) uninsured motorists and skyrocketing incidences of hit-and-tun accidents, 2) benefit fraud covering multiple states, 3)illegals voting, and 4) attracting more people overstaying temporary Visas.

If so, just as Justice Scalia said in Printz vs. US, local DMVs cannot be made to perform federal tasks anymore than local law officers can be made to perform federal functions. The federal REAL ID Act is unconstitutional. It does not matter what any commission has said or done. They cannot overrule the supreme law of the land, our US Constitution, which reserves the power of licensing drivers to the States, or to the people. It is not an enumerated power of Congress to do so. Please answer these questions- 1. Why was the REAL ID Act as HR 418 unable to be enacted? 2. Why was it moved into a defense and Tsunami relief bill (HR 1268), where it received little attention and no debate? 3. How many terror plots have been prevented by REAL ID? 4. How many would have been (hint: US citizen Tim McVeigh)? 5. If someone is willing to give their life for their cause, will having their power bill on file at the DMV stop them? 6. Why does Rep. Sensenbrenner never mention the 4th official purpose of REAL ID? He always stops after entering federal buildings (a 1st Amendment violation if your elected rep is inside) or nuclear plants or flying on commercial aircraft. Why does he never mention it gives the DHS Secretary unlimited power as to when a REAL ID (a/k/a "federal identification") may be required? 7. Why does he likewise fail to mention that of the 19 9/11 hijackers, 16 were here legally? As such, since the standard for REAL ID is "legal presence", they could all have obtained a REAL ID. By the way, none of them used a false name on any application, just false addresses. 8. What have we gotten for the millions of dollars spent on this boondoggle? It has cost the Florida taxpayer $3 million above the $7 million in "federal" money (which is still our money). Wake up, this is not the typical Democrat vs. Republican thing. I support border security and oppose REAL ID. REAL ID can be easily beaten by average criminals- it has happened here in Florida. Do you think unfriendly governments cannot make high-grade documents to allow people to establish "legal presence". All REAL ID has done here in Florida is run up the cost (greatly) and time for most people- notably married or divorced women- to renew their license. Did you know we were not attacked by divorced women on 9/11? If you want an example of true corruption to chronicle, look no further than Mr. Sensenbrenner, who has taken over $4 million in federal salary since 1979 and has used this money to steamroll the US Constitution when he sees fit. Now if we are talking about a motorcycle-only checkpoint that could affect his Harley-Davidson contingent in Wisconsin, that's a different issue. He's Mr. Constitution for them and will ensure there is no "federal" funding for this activity. Google Floridians Against REAL ID for more info about REAL ID.
