mr. chairman , i yield myself such time as i may consume . 
let me just sum up and say this does not require anything from the states as far as driver 's licenses go . 
states do not have to do anything under this for their driver 's licenses . 
they can issue driver 's licenses to whomever they want . 
but if they intend to use those licenses for federal purposes , we have a right to say what the criteria should be and under those circumstances , they are going to have to show legal presence . 
it is not anti-immigrant . 
in fact , this allows the states to issue two different sets : one for illegal immigrants , one for everyone else . 
it takes the national security issue away from the argument there . 
finally , the opt-out provisions in the current legislation that was passed just a few months ago are disastrous . 
we were worse with the 9/11 response that passed this congress than we were without it . 
this rectifies that . 
it closes that loophole . 
out of respect for the victims , the families , the work of the 9/11 commission , i urge my colleagues to support this legislation . 
mr. chairman , i yield back the balance of my time .
