And by the way, 5 of the 9/11 terrorists were visa overstayers and at least one I know of had gotten a drivers license in one of the 'don't ask' states.

cora, no, to this day California looks at your birth certificate and govt ID the first time AND runs your ss# and waits to see the address which they compare w/ your license. I lost my license and wen't through it this year. Since these are partial compliance requirements of Real ID, and states have to comply BY 2008, it is hard to see how it could be a problem, to me.

Do you really think the REAL ID act is going to help? All it is for is to be able to follow LEGAL citizens. The fact stands that many illegal aliens don't WANT Drivers licenses and will drive without them or wont even have insurance on their cars or even have their names on the title, so if they get in an accident they can't be traced.
Not only this, but the fact that Mexico truckers can NOW go ANYWHERE in the US and they do NOT need these IDs to do so.
Sick isn't it?

Good idea! There are too many fake documents out there.
It's bad enough that the twit Gil Cedeo (AKA "one bill Cedeo") is at it again FOR THE EIGHTH TIME in CA to get the illegal aliens drivers licenses. The people don't want it and it won't make the roads safer.

I do not see how it will hurt anyone other than those who are here illegally. All it basically states is that you must prove you are either a citizen, or here legally. Oh wow, show them a certified birth certificate, a current visa, or a green card. How hard is that? If you can't or won't provide this documentation, then you obviously do not need a license.

I think that if someone gets a driving permit while on a Visa here....the license should expire at the same time as the Visa stay...

And yes, none of the 9/11 terrorists came through Mexico but either through Canada or had a visa when they flew in. That's old news.

California tried the same thing a few years ago, and if I'm not mistaken, it was struck down as unconstitutional.
Congress has enacted specific laws that say only federal authorities can regulate and enforce immigration. So, states attempting to do so on their own is invalid.
And the media is incorrect in it's analogy. This has no similarity to the actual provisions of the Real ID Act.

Good. We need to beef up national security against these crazy Islamofacists. Especially monitoring their phone calls.
