Therefore, the best solution would come from teaching and educating officials in that line of work to know how to locate and track down and realize the signs of negative behavior as opposed to positive…

The Real ID Act, which was sponsored by Representative Jerry Lewis and signed into law by the President on May 11, 2005, has set federal standards for the issuance of driver’s licenses and requires aliens to prove their "legal presence" in the United States (Thomas, HR 1268.)
