Real ID Standoff Continues for Non-Compliant States; Deal May be in the Works

For weeks, the Homeland Security Department has been headed toward a showdown with some states over a law called Real ID, which would require new security measures for state-issued driver's licenses. Yet a late Good Friday letter from a top DHS official suggested Washington may be backing away from a messy fight," the AP reported. "South Carolina, Maine and Montana are the only states that have not sought extensions to comply, or already started toward compliance with Real ID, which was passed after the 2001 terror attacks on New York and Washington.

LOOK AT THE MESS THE OPEN BORDER NUTS CAUSED

If all legal Americans worked at legal companies and establishments; this wouldn't even be an issue.

These open border organised crime slime cost us grief, time and money.

What ever happened to the government making the rules - like you WILL have an ID properly issued or you WILL NOT get on the airplane!

Tough munchies if the truth hurts!
