First. the REAL ID Act puts massive new Federal regulations on the States. From new databases and fraud monitoring. to new network and data storage capacity. the States will be tasked with an enormous range of new regulations and requirements. Once REAL ID becomes effective. every States Department of Motor Vehicles will have to play immigration official by reconciling discrepancies in social security numbers with the Social Security Administration. DMVs will have to require proof of "legal presence" in the United States from immigrants. I am for a strong immigration policy. I believe we ought to enforce our borders and enforce the laws we have on the books. But It is completely unreasonable for the Federal Government to put that job on the Montana Department of Motor Vehicles. or any other States DMV.
