The provision that permits the Secretary of Homeland Security to suspend any and all laws needs to be revised, so that there is no possibility of anyone ever interpreting it more broadly or extremely than intended, (e.g., murder should not be allowed.)

[GrandEagle]

To establish and rapidly implement regulations for State driver's license and identification document security standards, to prevent terrorists from abusing the asylum laws of the United States, to unify terrorism-related grounds for inadmissibility and removal, and to ensure expeditious construction of the San Diego border fence.
Seems that they always combine the bad stuff with needed stuff. The enemies of our republic have been trying to shove through a federal ID card for years. We have wisely fought it and won --- until now.

At the end of last session when Sensenbrenner was trying to get this provision in the Homeland Sec. or Intell. bill, I forget which one, but couldn't, they promised him that this would be first on this legislative year's agenda---

I was glad, because like a lot of others, I had e-mailed my rep and Senators about illegal immigration and Border control.

Well, I remember a press conference about that time with Sensenbrenner and a dem and Sensenbrenner was asked if he supported Bush's proposal vis-a-vis illegal immigration and the "workers progam"---I was shocked when Sensenbrenner said something to the effect that he ISN'T in favor of stopping immigration, just the terrorists.

I may be remembering wrong, but ever since then, I have been confused about his stance on ILLEGAL immigrants and amnesty---do you know?

Notice that Kolbe and Flake aren't on the list of cosponsors.

Don't expect Catro or Grihalva though knowing what they are.

I do expect every GOPer to be on it.

Unfortunately, my representative is Jim McDermott.

Oww! That list of Cosponsors hurt my eyes, JAS!

Question:
Does HR 418 have any drawbacks or areas of concern for civil liberties?
Many people are understandably concerned about a national ID. Does H.R. 418 just help states to communicate with each other, and avoid replication of drivers licenses?

[Feiny]

My rep is Waxman.....he is a traitor so there is no surprise he is not a sponsor.
