Controversy

Ana Sol Gutierrez is strongly allied with CASA of Maryland in support of a system whereby the default Maryland Driving Permit will not conform to the standards mandated by the Real ID Act, and may be issued to illegal aliens. She favors the issuance of a special ID which will conform to Federal standards and which would allow the bearer to enter Federal buildings, board airplanes, and engage in other transactions which require identity cards conforming to the standards set out in the Real ID Act of 2005 [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/12/AR2008011202713_2.html downloaded on Jan 13, 2008] . She opposes a two-tier licensing system which would issue driving permits to illegal aliens, but which would not conform to the Real ID standards which would be the default for Maryland driving permits issued to qualified Marylanders, because " [i] n this climate, that's a scarlet letter". Governor Martin O'Malley has finally directed the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration to phase in compliance to the Real ID standards by 2010 [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/15/AR2008011503767.html downloaded Jan 16, 2008.] .
