2004: H Judiciary Comm vote on JacksonLee eliminate document verification amdt to HR 10

Voted in committee against amendment to eliminate document security provision from H.R. 10 in 2004
Rep. ZZlastnameZZ voted against the Jackson Lee Amendment to H.R. 10, the 9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act. The Jackson Lee Amendment would have eliminated the provision in H.R. 10 that stated that passports are the only form of foreign-issued IDs that are acceptable forms of identification to obtain a divers license. The Jackson Lee Amendment would have facilitated illegal immigration by allowing insecure forms of identification such as consular-issued ID cards that are often used by illegal aliens to be acceptable forms of identification for obtaining driver's licenses and other benefits. The Jackson Lee Amendment failed by a vote of 15-20.
