35. And Massachusetts STILL doesn't have REAL ID--along with a boatload of other states.

The Federal Government does not issue driver's licenses. They have absolutely no right to demand that states' do their "immigrant hunting" for them, and that IS what this is all about--separating those 'south of the border illegals' from the pack, pushing them into the shadows.

You are absolutely correct--not all states issue these licenses, and many states have a real problem with complying, which is why Homeland Security keeps pushing back the date where they're "Not gonna let you fly without one, dad-gum-it!!!" There are too many people--to include the people of the densely populated state of MA--who would have something to say if they were denied boarding on an aircraft travelling WITHIN the USA because their stupid license doesn't have a star on it.

This is all about federal overreach--they should ALLOW people to "pay extra" to get an enhanced license if they're going to Canada, but they shouldn't make enhancement a pre-requisite for driving in any state.
