The Massachusetts DMV has estimated it would take 10 years to reenroll current citizens with licenses alone. which would place them beyond the 2013 deadline in the bill. REAL ID is profoundly flawedThat is why six States have passed laws that prohibit it from being implemented at all. These States will never be REAL ID compliant and that is why its inclusion in the immigration bill is so dangerous. Immigration reform is difficult enough without conditioning it on an unfeasible. unfunded mandate that States are not only unwilling but in some cases legally bound not to meet. Squaring that circle should not be a precondition for a much larger need: providing real immigration reform for the American people. I am proud to have supported the BaucusTester amendment to remove this dangerous and nonsensical provision from the underlying bill. I hope that we will be able to move forward and create a fair. reasonable and comprehensive immigration bill that this country so desperately needs.
