I noted yesterday that Jim Sensenbrenner, author of the REAL ID Act, is against efforts to stop states from issuing special driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, something his legislation explicitly permits. But that train may be leaving the station; Pete King introduced a bill yesterday (H.R.4176) with 156 co-sponsors to do just that. The day before, Vito Fossella had introduced a similar bill (H.R.4160), a couple days before that Tom Latham introduced a resolution (H.Res . 800) to that effect and, in the Senate, Barrasso of Wyoming introduced S.2334. The Democrat leadership doesn’t have to move any of this legislation, of course, but if congressional Republicans are smart [sic] they’ll keep bringing up amendments relating to this over and over again.
