Real ID versus No Id?

The current dichotomy that is transpiring between US citizens and the millions pouring over the border is ludicrous!

I’m starting to like co-pilot. The AI engine that pulls information together. The issue I see is that forces are erasing facts from data bases and false information may be deemed OK and is inserted.

Here is co-pilot report on the process of allowing illegals into the USA:

The asylum process at the U.S.-Mexico border involves several steps and can vary depending on the circumstances of the asylum seeker. Here’s a general overview:

1. Initial Encounter: When migrants arrive at the border, they may present themselves to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at a port of entry or be apprehended by Border Patrol agents if they cross between ports of entry¹.

2. Screening: Migrants are screened to determine if they have a credible fear of persecution or torture if returned to their home country. This is known as a "credible fear interview"¹.

3. Asylum Application: If they pass the credible fear interview, they can formally apply for asylum. This involves submitting an application and providing evidence of their claims, such as personal identification, medical records, and testimonies².

4. Detention or Release: Depending on various factors, including the availability of detention space and the migrant’s circumstances, they may be detained or released with a notice to appear in immigration court³. Over 90% NEVER SHOW UP!

5. Immigration Court: Asylum seekers must attend hearings in immigration court where an immigration judge will review their case and make a determination. This process can take months or even years¹.

6. Decision: If the judge grants asylum, the individual can stay in the U.S. and eventually apply for permanent residency. If denied, they may be deported unless they appeal the decision¹.

I then asked co-pilot how do they get assistance and cash and cell phones.

Unauthorized migrants typically do not receive cash or cell phones from the U.S. government. However, there are some organizations and circumstances where they might receive such assistance:

1. Nonprofit Organizations: Various nonprofit and humanitarian organizations provide support to migrants. This can include temporary financial assistance, prepaid cell phones, or phone cards to help them stay in contact with family and legal representatives. Examples include organizations like the Red Cross, Catholic Charities, and local community groups.

2. Asylum Seekers: Migrants who apply for asylum may receive limited support from nonprofit organizations while their cases are being processed. This support can sometimes include basic financial assistance and communication tools.

3. Community and Faith-Based Groups: Many local community and faith-based groups offer aid to migrants, which can include small amounts of cash for immediate needs and cell phones for communication.

4. Legal Aid Organizations: Some legal aid organizations provide cell phones to help migrants stay in touch with their legal representatives and attend court hearings.

Then I asked if the Non-Profits get funding from the US government.

Yes, some nonprofit organizations that assist unauthorized migrants do receive subsidies and funding from the U.S. government. Here are a few ways this happens:

1. Federal Grants: Nonprofits can receive federal grants from agencies like the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). These grants are often used to provide emergency shelter, food, medical care, and legal assistance¹.

2. State and Local Funding: Some state and local governments also provide funding to nonprofits that offer services to migrants. This can include support for emergency shelters, healthcare, and other essential services¹.

3. Specific Programs: Programs like the Shelter and Services Program (SSP) provide funding to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), states, and local governments to assist migrants at the border¹.

4. Faith-Based Organizations: Many faith-based organizations receive funding from the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) to support their humanitarian efforts².

These funds are typically aimed at addressing immediate humanitarian needs and ensuring basic human rights for migrants.

So, the US government funnels the money via the Non-profits and Co-Pilot will not tell me how much. Billions are being spent!

Then I asked what documentation is accepted for entrance into the USA:

When seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, migrants are required to provide some form of identification to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The types of identity documentation accepted can vary, but generally include:

1. Passports: A valid passport is the most commonly accepted form of identification.

2. National Identity Cards: If a passport is not available, a national identity card from the migrant’s home country can be used.

3. Birth Certificates: In some cases, birth certificates may be accepted, especially for minors or individuals without other forms of identification.

4. Other Government-Issued IDs: Any other government-issued identification documents, such as driver’s licenses or military IDs, can also be used.

5. Asylum Seeker Documentation: Migrants who have already started the asylum process may have specific documents issued by the U.S. government or international organizations like the UNHCR that can serve as proof of their status¹². WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

6. Biometric Data: As part of the asylum process, biometric data such as fingerprints and photographs are collected to verify identity and conduct background checks³. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THOSE ENTERING are in a data base? 5%?

These documents help establish the identity of the asylum seekers and are crucial for processing their claims.

In simple terms: One document works! Real or Forged!

Now, US tax paying citizens will be required to have a Real ID drivers license or a passport to air travel beginning May of 2025.

A minimum of 4 documents are required to be given a Real ID driver’s license.

1. A passport or a certified copy of a birth certificate or 7 other special government authorized documents.

2. Social Security card or 4 other special government issued documents with your social security number.

3. & 4

   Bank statement and Utility bill or equivalent to determine your permanent residence. About 15 other documents that prove where you live will be accepted including voter’s registration card. BUT NOT A MILITAY DISCHARGE CERTIFICATE!

So, I have to ask the question. How come illegals are getting drivers licenses and voter registration cards and their identity is accept with one document when I need to show a minimum of 4 documents to get a Real ID and I was born in this country, contributed to social security funding and served in the military? I was reject for a Real Id, because the SS card I carried around for 50 years and never showed to anyone has been misplaced. Other documents with my SS number were rejected because they were not part of the official list.

Does that mean that in May of 2024, the illegals will no longer be flown around the country like Springfield, Ohio where they dumped 20,000 Haitians?

Co-pilot says 6.5 million illegals have entered this country in the last four years. They are not vetted like I am to obtain a REAL ID, so I can fly without buying or renewing a passport. ( Numbers being tossed around are higher than this, but who knows the truth?)

The derangement in DC is beyond my comprehension and the politicians we elected ignore the issue.

Why am I being controlled and the illegals disappear into our cities and become a burden on our social services? We should have been properly addressing the existing homeless population and that is ignored! New York city is sinking into a third world country and those that can are leaving for Texas and Florida.

We are a land of immigrants, that were originally vetted properly and had sponsors to have them assimilate into America, and they had to take classes to understand our system of government, which in my view has been corrupted in DC within all three branches. We are not solving the social ills of this world in this scenario, we are just degrading the quality of life for all Americans except the ultra rich.

My view. What say you?
