Real ID Act of 2005
Project Vote Smart's Synopsis:
Vote to pass a bill that amends the Immigration and Nationality Act and grants the Secretary of Homeland Security the power to set minimal security requirements for state driver licenses and identification cards.
Official Title of Legislation:
HR 418: 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.
Highlights:
-Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require asylum applicants accused of being members or supporters of guerrilla, militant or terrorist organizations to prove that race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion was or will be (if removed) the central reason for their persecution (Sec. 101).
-Expands the definition of "terrorist organizations" (Sec. 103).
-Requires states to share driver's license data as a condition of receiving federal financial assistance (Sec. 203).
-Gives the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to waive laws as necessary, to ensure expeditious construction of barriers and roads at the US border (Sec. 302).
