Based on these arguments, several states have already refused the implementation of the Real ID Act on their territory and in many other states there are pending bills regarding the non-implementation of the Act (Behreadt, 2007). Of course, there are states such as California or New York which support the implementation of the Real ID Act, but their number is considerably smaller than the number of states that have already refused to implement the new legislation.
Establishing a national identity card represents one of the steps taken by the American government to create a surveillance society in which the government can have access to all type of data regarding a person under the reason of fighting against terrorism. In fact, it is unlikely that the Real ID Act will discourage terrorism, as terrorists will continue to find ways to obtain identification. The Real ID Act is clearly directed against immigrants, who would have to present extensive documentation for obtaining ID cards and driver's licenses. Besides, those that do not have their birth certificates would also have great problems getting a Real ID and this can be particularly difficult for those affected by Hurricane Katrina, for example....
The Real ID Act remains controversial and it will most likely take longer than 2009 to implement it in all states, if such a thing is possible in the current form of the Act.

Quiet Revolution on Real ID details a middle path between the extremes on both sides of the issue. It is informative as well balanced. In the wake of 9/11, we can not afford to sit quietly back and wait for tragedy to happen again. In that tragedy, fake ids allowed a small group of terrorists to perpetrate the largest and most devastating attack on American soil in its history.

Please see "Stake Holder: The Taliban" for more information regarding virtue ethics. The farmers who are growing poppy plants have a logical stake in this moral dilemma as well.

They are in a precarious position where they are often forced to grow poppies because they are a very lucrative and
All of this had been made possible due to the fact that with every man, or every ten men or every million people killed by the Nazis, the prisoner community only grew stronger and more indifferent to the thought of dying.

Illegal Immigration Both the United States government and individual state governments as well are concerned about the high rate of illegal immigration into our country. There are several reasons for this. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the country recognizes great need to know exactly who is in the United States. In addition, many worry that illegal immigrants take jobs that would otherwise go to people who are legally
