I thank the gentleman for yielding. We are not trying to engage the REAL ID Act at all. what we are trying to engage is a situation that exists right here in Arlington County. Virginia. the immigration status of aplicants for local housing subsidies is not checked. Illegal immigrants are allowed to receive taxpayerfunded rent assistance. That is the thing that we are trying to address. Also. the chairman says that somehow these firms are not the same as other firms that get profits. The truth is that they were commissioned as governmentsponsored enterprises. but then the government sponsorship was pulled away.
