SB52 implements Real ID compliance with federal mandates for the issuance of driver’s licenses and ID card for citizens. However, it also authorized the issuance of licenses for people who can’t prove they are authorized to live in the United States (illegals) and doesn’t require them to comply with Real ID. It will allow illegals to operate in Nevada with commercial or non-commercial drivers licenses or ID cards. In other words, you must comply with Real ID and supply all required proof if you are a citizen, but illegals don’t have to comply. However, they get licenses and ID cards so it makes it easier for them to stay in Nevada!
Sections 11, 26, & 33 of SB52 remove the requirement that an applicant for a commercial or noncommercial driver’s license or an identification card must provide proof to the DMV that he is authorized to live in the United States and proof of his Social Security number. The bill authorizes the DMV to issue those licenses to a person who does not have the required documentation. These licenses and ID cards must be different from those issued to people who can prove they are citizens. Those who are citizens must comply with Real ID. Illegals are not required to comply with Real ID.
Real ID is a NATIONAL ID CARD. See info below on Real ID and NAU. Without REAL ID you will not be able to board an airplane, enter a federal building, collect Social Security or other benefits, open a bank account or have a job. In other words you will become a non-entity.

REAL ID –The Real National ID Card, below
From Nevada Families Eagle Forum Newsletter, March 2007
Real ID Act of 2005, which passed Congress hidden in a funding bill for the Iraq War, is a mandate from the federal government to the States, which will require them to link their record keeping systems (driver’s licenses) to national databases. In other words, it is a National ID. Real ID will store every driver’s personal information and a photograph in a central database. The specter of a National Identity card, long antithetical to liberty loving Americans and a windfall for identity thieves, was to be implemented by March 2008.
However, some 12 states began a revolt including Arizona, Georgia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming. Faced with concerns over privacy issues and the huge cost (in Nevada it is expected to cost $66 million over 4 years) Legislators balked.
Missouri State Rep James Guest, a Republican, formed a coalition of lawmakers from 34 states to file bills that oppose or protest Real ID. Guest said, “This is almost a frontal assault on the freedoms of America when they require us to carry a national ID to monitor where we are.”
Nevada Legislators Senator Nolan and Assemblyman Atkinson have introduced a Resolution urging Congress to Repeal the REAL ID Act. Because of the national outcry the Bush Administration has agreed to offer an 18-month extension to states who want to delay implementation.
Although Governor Gibbons has placed in his budget an initial $30 million for implementing REAL ID, another means of opposing REAL ID is simply for the State Legislature to refuse to fund it. This could be accomplished in the Senate Finance and Assembly Ways and Means Committees. Interestingly, the Federal Government recently offered to allow states to use 20% of Homeland Security funds to help defray the costs of REAL ID.
Nevada Eagle Forum has made opposition to REAL ID a priority for our Legislative agenda. We have met with Nolan and Atkinson. We will alert you when these important measures appear.
REAL ID and the North American Union
In November, Phyllis Schlafly organized a special training conference in Washington D.C. with Dr. Jerry Corsi, the leading expert on the North American Union (the combining of the US with Mexico and Canada essentially erasing our borders and national sovereignty). 35 Eagles from around the country including your State Eagle Forum President Janine Hansen attended the week-long conference. NAU is officially known as SPP—the Security and Prosperity Partnership. www.spp.gov
Months later, while preparing for the hour- long television show, Liberty and Justice for All, I discovered a telltale connection between REAL ID and the North American Union. Dr. Robert Pastor who was the author of the Panama Canal give away (now controlled by the Chinese) is also the author of the Council on Foreign Relations’ blue print for the North American Union. The CFR is considered by many to be part of America’s Shadow Government. Robert Pastor, a professor at American University, also wrote the report of the Carter-Baker Commission on Federal Election Reform, which calls for interoperable databases between states and the use of REAL ID (a national ID).
Three of the 87 recommendations made by the Commission chaired by Robert Pastor include:
· “The Commission recommends that states…organize and update their lists and that the US. Election Assistance Commission take the lead in making the lists interoperable …between states.”
· “…states should require voters to present a REAL ID card at the polls.”
· “States should make voter registration and ID’s accessible to all eligible citizens by using mobile offices and other means to register more voters and issue photo ID cards.”
An article in Human Events by James Plummer on July 7, 2006 quotes Paul Rosenzeig Dept. of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary who touted something called the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), which is identified as a “passport card.” This passport card is to be required by people entering the US from Canada and Mexico. The Government Accountability Office reported to Congress, “that when states adopt driver’s licenses with enhanced security features in accordance with REAL ID Act, the document should be sufficient for land border crossings under the Travel Initiative.”
The Plummer article continues, “The REAL ID Act will force Homeland-Security-written standards onto state drivers’ licenses and link the state databases into a national ID system. 9/11 Commissioner Slade Gorton testified to Congress on how machine-readable REAL ID drivers’ licenses “can be combined with other requirements, like the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, for purposes like border crossing.”
One of the major purposes of the Security and Prosperity Partnership is to create a seamless North American Union where there are no borders interfering with trade or the movement of people. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative through the use of the REAL ID will facilitate the disappearance of the American border merging us into a trilateral Mexico-US-Canada North American Union.
