Shamnesty and the Real ID Act

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 18, 2007 01:28 PM

Tim Sumner of 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America points out another fraud perpetuated by the Bush-McCain-Kennedy immigration scheme:

There is more proof of fraud within the proposed ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007.’ Native born and naturalized employees will be required to show — as proof of legal status — their employers either a “United States passport or a driver’s license or identity card issued by a State, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or an outlying possession of the United States that satisfies the requirements of the ‘Real ID Act of 2005.’” Yet no state or territory requires a person to show proof of citizenship to obtain a driver’s license or identification card.

No problem, right? The ‘Real ID Act‘ requires states to verifiy a person’s legal status before issuing a driver’s license or identification card. Yet there are problems:

1) Mandatory compliance with the ‘Real ID Act’ has been waived from May 11, 2008, to the end of 2009 by the Secretary of Transportation and the Act can be waived into infinity.

2) No state or territory is currently in full compliance with the Act.

3) Congress has provided less than half the funding needed to implement ‘Real ID’ and neither the states nor federal government will protect their own citizens; they simply refuse to pay the rest of the bill…

Read the whole thing. And chalk it up as reason number 999,999 to kill this bill.
