ID Act also makes it easier to deny asylum to and deport wouldbe terrorists. Prior to REAL ID. individuals who allegedly committed certain terrorist acts could be denied admission to the U.S.. but an anomaly within U.S. immigration law provided that once here. individuals who had committed these same acts could not be deported. The REAL ID Act rectifies this situation. In addition. terrorist organizations have been using front organizations and alleged charities to support and provide cover for their terrorist activities. As President Bush has stated. "International terrorist networks make frequent use of charitable or humanitarian organizations to obtain clandestine. financial and other support for their activities." Money given to terrorist organizations is fungible. Unfortunately. prior to the act. an alien could provide funding or other material support to many terrorist organizations and then escape deportation merely by claiming he did not know the funds would be spent on weapons or explosives.
