Just to show I’m a fair-minded guy, here’s a different point of view on this post from another one of those privacy nutballs out there:
What’s the problem? In concept, nothing. In practice, let me begin the count:
According to the head of the DMV in South Carolina, unless the already-passed federal law is changed, every one of us who has had a driver’s license for, oh, 20, 30, 60 years is going to have to march down to the DMV with a copy of our birth certificates and get a new license. And if you have a different name than the one on your birth certificate (say, if you’re a woman who has married and taken her husband’s name), then you have to also provide proof of THAT change. Original documents, please; no copies allowed.
DMV and DHEC are working on a program to provide some computer verifications for people whose vital records are in South Carolina, but it’s going to take at least three years to get that up and running (the new system has to be in place in a year), and that does no good for the many South Carolinians who weren’t born here.
There will be no more internet driver’s license renewals (OK, so that’s not necessarily a bad thing.)
There will be no more over the counter issuances (in other words, you go to the DMV one day to get a new or renewed license; you don’t get the license that day; either you have to go back a second day or else it’s mailed to you.)
The state will have to buy new equipment & printers for the new licenses, because the ones we have don’t produce a license that will meet the federal requirements. That’s just ONE of the costs: As much as I dislike internet driver’s license renewals, they do cut down on the cost of running the DMV.
So maybe there are a few details to work out. But if the concept is good…

The state could have purchased an entire system with the printers for the new licenses for about $3.5 million. They spent $13.5 million developing their own system.
It is a good idea to check a bunch of other IDs for older licenses, because the illegal immigrants are plugged into an entire industry of false identifications which include stealing the SSN of the deceased, infants and elderly.
Last year, a matchup of SSNs between the IRS and Social Security Administration revealed 12,300,000 tax returns filed with false SSN. The purpose is to file something on taxes in case they and the employer are caught, although most of the income is off the books, and the W-4 witholding is very high, so the illegals can just walk away from any refund. The other scam is to file early and steal someone else’s refund.
Senate Bill S. 449, is a bill to delay the requirement of the SC DMV to adhere to the Federal Mandate of Real ID.

What caught my eye was the phrase “biological sanctity.“ Biological sanctity sound like the kind of thing that might be related to virginity, full body strip searches, old growth forests, or abortions.
This federal ID was pushed by the Democrats under Clinton, and beaten back by the states.
Before that, it was pushed as part of HillaryCare.
It has nothing to do with protecting America from terrorists or rounding up the 20,000,000 illegal aliens and deporting them. The Democrats tell us every day they support illegals pouring in from Mexico.
