On June 15, Sen. Daniel Akaka introduced S. 1261, the PASS Act.

If passed, the PASS Act would severely compromise the safety and security of all Americans by gutting the most effective legislative response to the 9/11 Commission's recommendations: the provisions in the REAL ID law that effectively bar states from issuing driver's licenses or identification cards to illegal aliens.

Fortunately, your Senator(s) has not yet cosponsored this bill. Please send your U.S. Senator(s) and urge him/her to oppose the PASS Act.

More information about REAL ID:

REAL ID was approved by the Congress following the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission's finding that "secure identification should begin in the United States," and recommended that "the federal government should set standards for the issuance of birth certificates and sources of identification, such as drivers licenses." REAL ID requires states to issue secure driver's licenses and ID cards that cannot be tampered with; it requires that applicants for these documents produce verifiable and up-to-date identification documents; and it mandates that licenses issued to foreigners in the United States temporarily expire when the individual's permission to be here expires. All but one of the 9/11 hijackers had been issued drivers licenses and state ID cards valid long past the expiration date of their visas, and some of the hijackers were unlawfully present in the United States as of the time they obtained these documents.
