A few weeks ago, DHS took absurdity to a whole new level in New Jersey. 

DHS told residents that allowing people an alternative to Real-ID drivers licenses would put citizen’s and police officers lives in danger. 

Why? 

"These types of laws make it easier for terrorists and criminals to obtain fraudulent documents and also prevent DHS investigators from accessing important records that help take down child pornography and human trafficking rings and combat everything from terrorism to drug smuggling," Swift said in the Monday statement.

DHS is so good at crying wolf, that they expect the public to believe that only terrorists, criminals, child pornographers, human traffickers and drug smugglers would seek regular drivers licenses! 

Wolf’s interview on Fox & Friends claimed that people possessing regular drivers licenses endanger entire communities and put police officers lives at risk. (See the video above.)

"Officers who are investigating crimes, building cases, and looking at suspects are not going to have the data to do their jobs and make their communities safer."

New Jersey 101.5, also reported that the Trump Administration claims that regular drivers licenses endangers our communities and puts people at risk.

"The Trump Administration takes the mission of protecting the Homeland very seriously, and unfortunately more than a dozen states have adopted short-sighted policies that endanger our communities and put people at risk," federal Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Heather Swift said."

DHS is upset because regular drivers licenses are devoid of biometric information, thus forcing them to get a court order to access an individuals personal information.

"These types of laws make it easier for terrorists and criminals to obtain fraudulent documents and also prevent DHS investigators from accessing important records that help take down child pornography and human trafficking rings and combat everything from terrorism to drug smuggling," Swift said.

Despite what the feds and law enforcement want you to believe, there is not a mass of criminals, child pornographers, human traffickers and drug smugglers lining up to get regular drivers licenses.
