The law's supporters say it is needed to prevent terrorists and illegal immigrants from getting fake identification cards.

This would have been an easier sell if the gov't had said it needed the Real ID to track down and remove all the illegals who have overstayed visas or jumped the border. But, since the gov't isn't doing much to remove these people, I gotta kind of wonder what they really need this ID for.

BTW , I do predict that some day in the not too distant future, we WILL have a national ID.

The Real ID Act is scheduled to take effect on May 11, 2008, three years after the law passed.

It's for your own good. Gotta have government controlling every aspect of our lives dontcha know.

Forget about those that don't belong here!
