Way to Go Jesse White
- Illinois has been on borrowed time for a decade when it comes to new federal security rules, but it appears time has run out.
In 2005, Congress enacted a law imposing tougher requirements to prove U.S. residency, but Illinois has yet to comply with new security rules for driver’s licenses and state ID cards.
The REAL ID Act requires state officials to verify birth certificates through the Electronic Verification of Vital Events system in order to meet federal security and anti-terrorism guidelines.
Until now, the federal government has repeatedly granted Illinois extensions, but turned down the state’s latest request. That means, after January 10, an Illinois driver’s license or ID card won’t be good enough to get past security at federal facilities, and by summer it might not be good enough to board a commercial airliner.
Ten years to meet the nationally required norms and all Illinois did for a decade is ask for deferments. Morons, one and all.

The State of Illinois decided not to fix this because they were/are too busy sucking up the sanctuary city people.
Screw American security. Make the border-jumpers feel safe and welcome. And because of this, I, an American born citizen. lived here all my life, have a digital trail miles long, have to get a passport just so I can fly on a DOMESTIC airline flight?
What BULLSHIT.
Isn't that what ALL of Illinois politicians do is want to "KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD" ? Started with our Pension Payments... We Need a Prison just to house Il. Lawmakers!
I have a CDL Class B and had to bring my birth certificate to get an endorsement. I thought it was B.S. so I went all the way to Plano, IL. and was told the same thing. Luckily I had it with me just in case.
You papers, are they in order?
We are on the way to having a national identity card just like almost
every other civilized country in the world.
Maybe that's a good thing.
Well, we wouldn't want to hurry into anything....
But the Legislature managed to pass a bill naming an official state pie. Pumpkin if you want to know.
This one falls squarely on Jesse White. He can make excuses all he wants, but ten years is plenty of time.
Not stupid, that was a decade in which they did nothing and had to spend no money doing nothing. Just being good little democrats.
Oh No, here comes higher fee's and taxes to get those plates, I.D.'s and Drivers Licenses. Thanks Jesse, you bumbling tumbler!
John Q. Public
So, the nation doesn't vet foreign travelers to the U.S., thus endangering the lives of U.S. citizens, as exemplified in the San Bernardino shooting, while Illinois does its best to thwart the security of citizens of Illinois and that of the nation. This state is so fucked up. Leaving can't come soon enough.
We've had 10 years to come into compliance. ONE DECADE.
The state even received some federal grant money to help defray these costs and expenses over the years.
And still, Illinois can't get something this fundamental done. They can roll out a program providing driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants in 1 year, but they can't complete these basic tasks in 10 years? Of course not, because there are no votes in this for the Dems who have controlled this state for 10 those years.
Another example of how years of incompetence and greed by our leaders is now taking a toll on the rest of us. Shameful, and no excuses.
"Ten years to meet the nationally required norms and all Illinois did for a decade is ask for deferments."
Now, now, now, SCC. Give some credit where credit is due. Jesse and Co. did a bit more than ask for deferments - they were hard at work ensuring future Sillinois democratic voters were taken care of. Just take a quick peek at immigrantjustice.org for kicks:
What is a Temporary Visitor Driver’s License (TVDL)?
The Temporary Visitor Driver’s Licenses (TVDLs) is a legal document permitting foreign-born individuals living in Illinois to drive. Established in 2005, TVDLs have been issued to individuals without a Social Security Number, but who have lawful immigration status, such as international students, spouses and children of temporary workers, and long-term visitors. Under the new state law SB 957, TVDLs will be available to undocumented drivers. A TVDL does NOT serve as identification, meaning you cannot use it to board a plane, enter federal buildings, or for any other official purposes. TVDLs are only valid for driver’s license class D, L, or M (car or motorcycle).
Hhhhmmmmmm... established in 2005, eh?
So...
"In 2005, Congress enacted a law imposing tougher requirements to prove U.S. residency, but Illinois has yet to comply with new security rules for driver’s licenses and state ID cards."
So another law was created that they had no intention of enforcing. Supposed "tougher requirements" in the same breath as giving illegals what amounts to hardship DLs. This is yet another blatant example of the non-contributors getting preferential treatment while those of us that make this whole damn thing go get it stuck in our collective ass.
I absolutely cannot wait to flee this Godforsaken city and state.
In true democratic fashion, they are negligent in their duties and will stick us with an increased fee as a result...of THEIR fuck up. Keep voting for that progressive program folks! It's made Illinois a remarkable place to live!
They have been handing out extensions like candy.
How badly do you have to mess up that they won't grant you an extension any longer?
What did they do with the million$ of Federal REAL ID grant money they received over the years?
Thank you, Illinois Democrats.
Now we all get to pay the price for your incompetence.
Ten years of advance notice, warnings, extensions and funding assistance for such a basic thing, and y'all did squat.
At least we have driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants now. Funny how you got that done so quickly. But those of us who pay taxes and wish to use our driver's license for something like traveling to visit family via airplane? We can wait and "deal with it".
Unbelievable.
The southern border is wide open . No one seems to give a fuck about that .
Real id ? Wtf do I carry in my wallet every day and how would "real id" be different ?
More UN bullshit . They all ready gps'd my doorstep and facial recognition software is up and running . What is the point of this ?
Because the by-product of that will flush-out thousands of counts of voter fraud in Chicago and Cook County...
News flash. Jesse White has been dead for 8 years, but keeps getting elected. Only in this political cesspool called Illinois.
The Tumblers must be taking up a lot of his time.
Jesse White is a good man, who has always been supportive of the police.
Makes driver's license/state ID nothing but a national ID card. Where's the outrage over that?
"Druker said the REAL ID Act security requirements would cost the state $4 million a year, and he called the rejection of the state’s request for another extension misguided and short-sighted."
Misguided and short-sighted." After ten years of warning. What a typically arrogant response from a Cook County employee. Millions of people will now be inconvenienced because the nation revolves around Cook County, Illinois don't cha know?
$4 million a year? Chump change to the bottom feeding ghetto lottery lawyers in Cook County.
Gee, if Illinois doesn't have to follow the ID regulations of the Federal Department of Homeland Security, I wonder what else they don't follow. God help us if we ever have a terrorist event.
O'Hare airport has a horrible policy for travelers who lost their DL/ID's and would fill out a police report so they could board a plane with just the case report!
Every Chicago kid knew how to play "kick the can," but at 7, we didn't know it was a lazy politician's move to keep the Democrats voting.
Keep voting Dummycrat.
What did you expect from your vote?
Does this mean no federal jury duty since we can't get in the courthouse?
keep voting democratic
It is no big deal, Obama will grant a waiver.
Did Jesse White tumble?
Obama can just issue an Executive order to exempt Illinois from that requirement. There, problem solved.
Well what did you expect considering the amount of illegals in the State.
It will be ok, he'll send his tumblers over there to Smooth everything out.
I got a passport, so I don't care..
Tumble on!
Yeah but the kids sure can tumble.
Normally I don't agree with the nitwits in Springfield, but RealID is a real nightmare in the making and costs a ton of money that's not funded by the Feebs at all.
It creates a National ID Card (Papers! Please!), Increases the risk of identity theft, doesn't do a thing to prevent terrorism, makes everything slower and more expensive with regard to identity documents.
Take a look at this site for more info:
http://www.realnightmare.org/
As always he can blame someone else for this , just like he does for every fee increase from the state .
great just updated my DL, now I have to do it again?
jumping through hoops is one of jesse's very favorite things to do :)
Have fun with this -- when you get a subpoena to appear at the fed courthouse, show up with a copy of the subpoena and your IL D/L. If the marshals won't allow you to enter the building, call the clerk of the court and explain that you showed up but were not allowed to enter. If enough people do this, the senior district judges will order the USM to accept IL D/Ls as proof of identity. With this precedence hire some hungry lawyers and let slip the dogs of lawfare...
Wyoming enacted this years ago. I don't mind it but having to produce an official birth certificate when I renew my license is a real PIA. What I don't understand is a DD214 is not expectable ??? I am a Navy vet, I served for 6 years, I then did another 22 years in the Wyoming Army National Guard. I had high security clearances. If such documentation is not enough.......
Illinois is a sanctuary state this federal id requirement runs against being a sanctuary state
Illinois has a REAL problem following Federal Laws, the crooked Illinois Politicians don't like!
Illinois should get spanked and should lose Federal funding, just to make this stupid idiots follow all Federal Laws, just like Police Officers are expected to enforce laws, lest Police Officers get sanctioned and thrown under the bus by these crooked politicians!
Police Officers NEVER get the chance to pick and choose what laws to follow and enforce unlike Illinois and Chicago!
Police Officers are expected to follow and enforce all laws, why NOT these sleazy politicians!
Maybe a class action suit to have Jesse correct what he screwed up and any additional costs
I saw some twit form the secretary of states office on the tupe saying the TSA will still let you on the plane but you may have to go through extra security steps. He implied the extra steeps would be no big-deal. Yea right. These idiots in illinois politics have zero concern for the aversge joe. Bring your passport when you fly.
jesse "mumbles" another entrenched democratic do nothing official lol! maybe he could have a license plate contest like the city sticker contest susie mendoza had and have the thugs design something that can be mailed out? Illinois the land of disgrace, hope when Trump takes office he does a forensic audit of this city-state-county the "joy to the world we would have when the feds receive the kings in prison" you people have taken trillions and no accountability, but like lisa madigan you jump on police as your family makes deals like the midway parking deal but no investigation lisa? Why?
Morons, as are all the people that keep voting them all into office over and over again.
Isn't it time for this Cat to retire?
jesse white, he is our steve Harvey.
We are on the way to having a national identity card just like almost
every other civilized country in the world.
Maybe that's a good thing.
-----------------------------------------------
Right, that's exactly what they said about socialized medicine.
First of all the Illinois Sec of State Office is probably 3rd in the Most Corrupt Government entities in North America, Chicago City Hall & Cook Co take top honors. The defunct State of Illinois rather hand out freebies to deadbeats than comply with programs that benefit taxpayers.
Seems there was plenty of money to go around to institute the Illegal Alien Drivers License Program and without any opposition or proper vetting. Just show up, register to vote and get a D/L Its like a WalMart, why are there so many foreigners in line there, must be an easy process to get a real phony IL D/L. Cheaper than a 26th St. former aldermans family photo shop too.
The entire SOS office is overloaded with patronage workers that hardly know what they're doing.
Besides isnt Jessie the Tumbler under Fed investigation, he'll be dead before they decide to expose his skeleton closet contents.
Political hack Sec of State what did u think
I got an Email today (on Christmas Day)from The Toll way authority about Toll Rates in Illinois Climbing yet again...(No holiday greeting) Showing what our Politicians think about the constituency. Does anybody think that these elected politicians and appointed beaurocratic pinheads really have us in mind when they act?
This is my first post ever, but read everyday. Someone needs to look into O'Hare airport rental car agencies deal with Jesse White and how they collectively passed a new tax on rental car customers to build gigantic facilities on site. Additionally, a very close friend, says they pay between $20,000-50,000 cash to the tumblers for this deal. Also, all vehicle registration and missed tolls are swept under the rug for the rental car agencies. I'm typing from my phone, but there is gobs of bullshit via Jesse and airport rental companies.

Shhhhhhhh! It's a secret!
Hey, if the Fed wants it, let them pay for it.
Since when does Illinois let alone Chicago do anything mandated by federal law.
Unfuckingreal. Can't wait to retire and leave this corrupt shithole
Not a cop but I work in IT. The shit we do that you are never told. We do read your emails and in fact pass them around to each other. From time to time if we do not like you then we report you. Nothing is safe in a network. If we do not get it, someone else can. It is like car thieves, with enough time it can happen and it does. So now the Feds want every birth certificate in a fed database? The Russians are salivating at this. With birth certificates your date of birth, pictures, and SSN that is automatic ID theft. Who do you think gets the info from the banks? I worked at a bank and they would leave credit card information out in the fucking open. A banker told me to my face it is cheaper to pay you back than enforce real security. Most bank employees live in fucking India. This is a real disaster.

There is already a National Identification card!
It's called a U.S. Passport! I have mine so I don't care!
Especially, after I move from this crooked state!
That's what happens when you keep voting for a senile old man
Jesse White belongs in prison. Put pics and biometric thumbprints on LINK cards. End years of multiple benefits. Why cater to those who refuse to work, illegals and middle eastern ghetto store owners?
Call Hiram and put him in charge of straightening out this mess like Rahm did. He can confer with his daughter who Jessie put in charge of a program she knew nothing about. Everything run's great in this state as long as your clouted up.Jessie couldn't fine anyone in his administration that qualified to run this program? Same old B/S. STAY FETAL MY FRIENDS
Once again the leadership of Michael Madigan is shining in all its glory.
Actually, Illinois is one of 24 states that have failed comply. Minnesota and Louisiana actually passed state laws forbidding the state from meeting the federal guidelines. No tell how this will all play out. Illinois claims that it will cost millions to comply with the law and they want Uncle Sam to pay for it. I agree
Louie Gutierrez will take care of this. He will not allow his illegal alien constituents to be prevented from voting. They need that State ID.
When was the last time the state issued new license plates and now they won't even send a renewal notice. In few years Illinois will be like Cuba on Lake Michigan.
Would you expect anything less in this corrupt state. Keep voting the democrats into office. It can only get worse.
...and in the meantime, Daesh has apparently got control of the Syrian government's passport-making equipment, supplies, special paper, etc., and is happily cranking out whatever suits its fancy -- and there's no legitimate government there functioning sufficiently for you to make a phone call and ask, "You guys issue this one?"
Not good.
This was orchestrated by Rahm . To stop us from flying out of the city/state and spend our money elsewhere.
Big deal. California gives drivers' licenses to our 3 million illegal aliens, and now we're registering people when they GET their driver's licenses. Biggest act of electoral fraud in American history. They got away with it. Why can't Chicago?
Well, what did you all expect with Jessie White in charge? Dude is as dumb as a box of rocks.....
Time to get a Passport if you plan on getting on an Airplane anytime soon.

GOP Governance at it's finest. Quit you griping it's all about Voter Suppression, you know?
Yes, IL sucks, but the federal gov't should get blame for granting so many extensions. That is ridiculous, especially as the date grew nearer. Anybody know how close IL is to being compliant?

MN is in the same boat. The legislature passed a law preventing the implementation. They were concerned about the real problems and excessive government intrusion. There are other forms of ID that are allowed. Bring a Passport, or get an enhanced D/L.
Does an IL Carry Permit meet the real ID requirements?

It MIGHT affect air travel by summer of 2016. Calm down.
In 1981 I was working the 1st watch when I encountered two individuals fighting on the street outside of a restaurant. My partner and I jumped into the fray and restored peace. About an hour or so later after we cleared we were called into the watch commanders office. We thought we were in trouble for something. When we walked in there was a tall,skinny black man standing at the desk. That man said hello as we passed by him to go see the W/C. That tall,skinny black man was Jesse White. He stopped in to tell the W/C about the wonderful job my partner and I had done and what a credit we were to the Department. It turns out that Mr. White and his wife were having dinner when the disturbance started. He witnessed the whole thing and after fininshing dinner stopped in to tell the W/C about what had happened. I never forgot that but I always figured anyone that would take the time to do something like that, especially when he was out with his wife was OK in my book. I'm not justifying the D/L thing but just saying that perhaps we should cut Jesse a little slack as he has always supported the Police in the past, something very few politicians do today.

The ID is not meant to prevent voter fraud.
It's for another reason, go read the original article to find out.
Picking on Jesse White for not doing something the legislative branch refused to fund and fix isn't right. DLs for illegals isn't the same issue, since JW wanted something better than the old SOS "Driver Control Response" for unlicensed drivers. People above JW ultimately decided what money would be spent on--maybe now they'll finally fix the problem.
This "Real" ID is only for Americans. Illegals and "refugees" come across the borders with no paperwork and can obtain driver's licenses in sanctuary cities, get free money, free food, free medical, free education, free housing, AND *Special* Do-not-offend status.
Oh wait, it's not free, we're paying for it..We're paying for our own demise. Happy New Year.

Why should the state spend 4.5 million a month to send out renewal notices for your license plates ? That should be a personal responsibility. Just look at your own license plates and check the expiration dates. Easy
other than this D/L fiasco,how does one go about renewing plates now that the sos isnt sending out notices in the mail? go to the web site and you need passcodes and user id's that were once sent to you.
horseshit way to operate.

*******************************************************************
Because the DD214 shows your place of birth, which at the time of enlistment is verified. It is considered a secondary document to prove citizenship. I was a career employee of the Department of Veteran's affairs I know the DD214 very well. You don't have to be a citizen to enlist however military service is a fast track to citizenship. If you become a citizen during your enlistment that will be indicated on the DD214.
Why should the state spend 4.5 million a month to send out renewal notices for your license plates ?
Do you think the State sends out 9 million notices a month?
Sure have been paying more for those Plates, Driver's Licenses and Identification cards....where the FUCK is the money at ???????

Hey Office, while your down at Traffic Court, skip on over to the basement of the State Of Illinois building, next to food court and renew your plate sticker on company time at the DMV and grab a bite to eat afterwards! It is also quick to do!

I know when my plates expire asshole, but what are you supposed to bring to the currency exchange to renew your plates? Or online if you didn't save your renewal sticker from last year BECAUSE YOU ASSUMED YOU WOULD GET A NEW ONE. I'm tired of paying through the nose, only to be inconvenienced over and over by government not doing their job.
Maybe we should all stop paying our taxes until they pass a fucking budget. STFU.
450K per month, not 4.5 million. If you're going to post, get your facts straight.
we had to produce a certified birth certificate when we received our first drivers license , more fkn bs for U.S. citizens
illegals get drivers license , free free everything
can't produce health records , were lost in desert or swimming over
This state absolutely disgusts me.
No doubt, Illinois politicians are dumbasses, but...
Can You Fly Without an ID?
You’ll be able to fly as long as you provide us with some information that will help us determine you are who you say you are.
If you’re willing to provide some additional information, we have other means of substantiating your identity, such as using publicly available databases. If we can confirm your identity, you’ll be cleared to go through security, and you may or may not have to go through some additional screening.

It's not so much that Illinois is too incompetent to comply, it's that the politicians don't WANT to comply.
If documentation of residency must be verified that will put all kinds of illegals at risk....and that's the last thing the Dems want.
