The I-ID YOKWENENE Umthetho umisela ubuncinci bemigangatho yokhuseleko yokukhutshwa kunye nokuveliswa kwelayisensi kwaye kuthintela iiarhente zikaRhulumente ukuba zamkele, ngeenjongo ezithile, iilayisensi zokuqhuba kunye namakhadi okuchonga avela kumazwe angahlangabezani nemigangatho ephantsi yoMthetho. Okubandakanyiweyo kwiinjongo ezichazwe nguMthetho ziinqwelomoya ezilawulwa yimanyano.
Ukufumana le ID bekungekho lula kangako, kufuna ukuba amaxwebhu angeniswe buqu kwii-ofisi ezinamaphepha-mvume. Namhlanje, iSebe lezoKhuseleko lwaseKhaya laseMelika (i-DHS) ligqibe kwelokuba livumele ukungeniswa kwamaxwebhu afunekayo kwezi zicelo.
USekela Mongameli weSigqeba soLawulo lweMicimbi yoLuntu kunye noMgaqo-nkqubo uTori Emerson Barnes ukhuphe le ngxelo ilandelayo:
“Isibhengezo se-DHS-apho i-US Travel ibingummeli-wezwi-linyathelo eliya phambili ekucwangciseni inkqubo yokuthotyelwa ngelixa kugcinwa iimfuno zokhuseleko ze-REAL ID Act. Nangona kunjalo, umceli mngeni uhlala ukho wokuba amashumi ezigidi zabantu baseMelika abakabi nazo izazisi ezisebenzisekayo ze-ID, kwaye asizukuyisombulula le ngxaki ngokutyhala abantu kwi-DMV.
"Ukuhamba kwe-US kungqina phambi kwekomitana yeSenate kunyaka ophelileyo ukuba, ngaphandle kotshintsho lomgaqo-nkqubo obonakalayo, amawaka amaMelika asenokujikwa kwindawo yokujonga i-TSA ngo-Okthobha 1. Itekhnoloji kunye nokhuseleko luqhubele phambili kakhulu kwiminyaka eli-15 okokoko i-ID yoqobo yaziswa, kwaye sikhuthaza iDHS kunye neCongress ukuba balandele ezongezelelweyo utshintsho lomgaqo-nkqubo ukulungiselela ukuhambelana kwe-ID yaseMelika yaseMelika.
"Siyayiqhwabela izandla i-DHS ngokuqonda isidingo sokuphucula inkqubo yesicelo se-ID YOKWENENE, kwaye sizakuqhubeka nokusebenzisana ne-arhente ukwenza amaMelika alungele umhla wokugqibela ka-Okthobha u-1 wokunyanzeliswa kwesazisi."
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, zingaphezulu kwezigidi ezingama-95 iilayisensi zokuqhuba ezingqinelanayo ze-ID kunye namakhadi e-ID (34%) kuma-276 ezigidi zamakhadi. Ukujonga umhla obekiweyo awukude kangako, ukulungiswa kwenkqubo kubaluleke kakhulu.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- The REAL ID Act establishes minimum security standards for the issuance and production of a license and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting, for certain purposes, driver's licenses and identification cards from states not meeting the Act's minimum standards.
- Technology and security have advanced greatly in the nearly 15 years since REAL ID was introduced, and we encourage DHS and Congress to pursue additional policy changes to facilitate Americans’.
- Travel testified before a Senate subcommittee last year that, without significant policy changes, thousands of Americans could be turned away from the TSA checkpoint on October 1.
