"Real ID act, if enacted, would give the Secretary of Homeland Security unlimited powers. Immigrants will no longer be able to obtain driver's licenses or car insurance. Police can randomly stop an immigrant and ask him to prove his status and can arbitrarily detain him."
I don't know what's new in this.
The US Administration is *already* doing this - regarding driving licenses, social security numbers, etc.
They already have the right to detain foreigners and throw them in Guantanamo Bay.
I don't know what rights are left that they want to take away.

How does a policeman know who is an immigrant and who is not?
There probably are safeguards...but it does seem a bit over the top. On the other hand if yoiuve always wanted to go to cuba...
