Mr. President. I am pleased to offer my support for the BaucusTesterCollinsLeahy amendment to strip the references to the problematic REAL ID program from the underlying immigration bill. We may agree or disagree about the merits of the actual REAL ID program. but as hearings in the Judiciary Committee and the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee have shown. REAL ID is far from being ready for prime time. While the Department of Homeland Security has not even released final regulations directing the States on REAL ID implementation. REAL ID l1censes are rapidly becoming a de facto national ID card. since you will need one to enter courthouses. airports.
