AUGUSTA - In response to Governor Baldacci's directive to enact the REAL
ID in Maine, the Maine Legislature rammed through LD 2309 on April 17 to
implement portions of the Federal REAL ID act as State Law, in spite of
a law that was passed with overwhelming opposition to those measures by
the Legislature just last year.

The new bill enacts legislation that would require the Secretary of
State to participate in the Systematic Alien Verification for
Entitlements (SAVE) program and study such technologies as "facial
recognition" notwithstanding (in spite of) the existing law prohibiting
it. Facial recognition technology has been compared to the Biblical
"Mark of the Beast" since eventually nobody will be able to drive their[sic]
car or gain employment without it - under the guise of cracking down on
illegal immigrants. Without a car or job, those who chose not to have
the ID will be unable to earn money to buy or sell, unless they do so
"illegally."
