of Chiefs of Police.

 

While the battle over providing illegal aliens with driver's licenses rages

in state capitals and Washington, DC, North Carolina created the first " North

American Union " driver's license, complete with a hologram of the North

American continent on the licenses.

 

The hologram is a facsimile of the map of North America that is used as the

background for the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America logo on

the SPP website.

 

Marge Howell, spokeswoman for the North Carolina DMV, told the press that the

state was embedding a hologram of North America on the back of their new

driver's licenses. " It's a security element that eventually will be on the back

of

every driver's license in North America, " Howell said.

 

Howell explained the hologram of the North American continent was the

creation of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, a

tax-exempt,

nonprofit organization that, according to the group's website, " develops model

programs in motor vehicle administration, law enforcement and highway safety. "

 

 

Founded in 1933, AAMVA represents state and provincial officials in the

United States and Canada who administer and enforce motor vehicle laws. The

government of Mexico is also a member, though the individual Mexican states have

yet

to join.

 

According to the group's website, AAMVA's programs are designed " to encourage

uniformity and reciprocity among the states and provinces. "

 

" The goal is of the North American hologram, " Howell explained, " is to get

one common element that law enforcement throughout the continent can look at on

all driver's licenses and tell that the driver's license is an official

document. "

 

Jason King, spokesman for AAMVA, affirmed the North American hologram was

created by AAMVA's Uniform Identification Subcommittee, a working group of AAMVA

members.

 

He explained the goal is to create a continental security device that could

be used by state and provincial motor vehicles agencies throughout North

America, including the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

 

King referenced a document on the AAMVA website that describes guidelines for

using the North America continent hologram as an Optical Variable Device

(OVD) that AAMVA has now licensed with private manufacturers to produce.

 

AAMVA supplies member motor vehicle agencies with a quantity of North

American continent hologram OVD foils to use on their driver's licenses and ID

cards

as needed.

 

As the guidelines document on the AAMVA explains, each North American

continental hologram OVD foil is embedded with a unique set of control numbers

that

permit law enforcement electronic scanners to identify the exact jurisdiction

and precise individual authorized to hold a driver's license or ID card with

that particular OVD foil embedded.

 

" AAMVA understands its unique positioning and the continuing role

identification security will play in helping the general public realize a safer

North

America, " King said. " The association believes ID security will help increase

national security, increase highway safety, reduce fraud and system abuse,

increase efficiency and effectiveness, and achieve uniformity of processes and

practices. "

 

Missouri State Rep. Jim Guest has held a seminar in North Carolina to protest

the Real ID law. The surprise came at a meeting on the Real ID held in

Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday, July 28, "

 

When Rep. Guest asked participants to take out their driver's license and see

what was on it one gentleman was a state employee and on his license there

was this hologram with the North American continent on the back. They were all

surprised to see that on a North Carolina driver's license.

 

Guest has formed a coalition called Legislators Against Real ID Act, or LARI.

 

 

" I was astonished when I saw that North American hologram on the North

Carolina driver's license, " Guest said. " I thought to myself that the state DMV

has

already included this North American symbol on the back of the driver's

license without telling the people of North Carolina they were going to do

this. "

 

" I thought right then that this was going to be the prototype for the

driver's license of the North American Union. When we called the North Carolina

DMV,

they hedged at first, " Guest said, " but finally they admitted that, yes, there

was a North American continent hologram on the back of the license. "

 

 

" This is part of a plan by bureaucrats and trade groups that act like

bureaucrats to little by little transform us into a North American Union without

any

vote being taken and without explaining to the U.S. public what they are

doing, " Guest argued.

 

In 2005, North Carolina was the state where illegal immigrants go to get a

driver's license, with busloads of aliens travel south on I-95 to get an easy

ID.

 

 

The Tar Heel State's requirements to obtain a license are weaker than those

of many surrounding states.

 

In 2006, Pastor Rios Sanchez, 55, an illegal alien, was accused of killing

three people, including two North Carolina State University students and a

26-year-old, while driving drunk.
