New Mexico State University Introduction
What is the Real ID Act of 2005? The Real ID Act of 2005 is Division B of an act of the United States Congress titled Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005 (Wikipedia). The Real ID Act has been talked about for many of years but with the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, more politicians thought now is the time to really push it again. The Real ID Act is intended to deter terrorism and make America safer. The Real ID Act will implement the following:
1. Establish national standards for state-issued driver 's licenses and non-driver 's identification cards.
2. Waive laws that interfere with construction of physical barriers at the borders.
3. Update and tighten the laws on application for asylum and deportation of aliens for terrorist activity.
4. Introduce rules covering "delivery bonds" (like bail bonds but for aliens who have been released pending hearings);
5. Fund some reports and pilot projects related to border security; and
Change visa limits for temporary workers, nurses, and Australian citizens. (Wikipedia)

September 11, 2001 should not have spawned the Real ID Act to be taken into action.

The Real ID Act of 2005 is going to be hard to implement. The Real ID Act of 2005 requires the states to do a lot of the work. To get around the first obstacle the federal government is going to have to control of the project. The federal government is going to have to be the project manager. The Real ID Act of 2005 also requires the linking of the driver license to a database, but the Real ID Act does not make this a requirement. This is going to be one enormous ERP software rollout. SAP or Oracle will definitely have to be involved or at least consulted with for this project. This is going to be a bumpy rollout unless

    Several state lawmakers have joined the fight against the requirements of the Real ID law, which they say are overkill. The federal Real ID law was created for prevention of identity theft and illegal immigrants and terrorists; enacted in 2010. In Florida, one important reason this was made because of the September 11 terrorist attacks, when it was revealed that some terrorists had obtained Florida IDs that allowed them to clear airport security checkpoints. Real ID requires official documents such as birth certificate, Social Security, passport, marriage license, and address proof to simply just renew your driver’s license. Greg Evers, a Republican state senator from Crestview, is attempting to get rid of many of these law’s requirements with the…

    The most significant amendment to the bill was The Patriotic Act of 2001 after the country faced the biggest attack from a foreign terrorist group. The United States Department of Justice announced that it would seek legislation that would give powers to state authorities to protect the homeland from such activities and attacks in the future. The proposed legislation was to give federal authorities the ability to monitor internet use, intercept emails and phone calls as well as wiretapping conversion between citizens and non citizens. The Act would also permit the detention of non citizens who are deemed to be dangerous to the home land (Center for American Progress 2005). This Act is by far one of the most controversial legislation in the history of the Congress. This paper looks to analyze the provisions of the Act as well as the pro and cons that came along.…

    After the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, many Americans were fearful of what the future held. Enacted as a response to those attacks, and as a way to re-instill a sense of security to the nation, American legislators worked to pass the USA Patriot Act of 2001. The Patriot Act appropriately made changes to other U.S. laws to combat terrorism, however it also established measures that may potentially hinder the rights of those it was designed to protect, sparking controversy regarding privacy and governmental power over the lives of private citizens.…
