A BILL
To establish and rapidly implement regulations for State driver's
license and identification document security standards, to prevent
terrorists from abusing the asylum laws of the United States, to unify
terrorism-related grounds for inadmissibility and removal, and to
ensure expeditious construction of the San Diego border fence.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``REAL ID Act of 2005''.
TITLE I--AMENDMENTS TO FEDERAL LAWS TO PROTECT AGAINST TERRORIST ENTRY
SEC. 101. PREVENTING TERRORISTS FROM OBTAINING ASYLUM.
(a) Conditions for Granting Asylum.--Section 208(b)(1) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1158(b)(1)) is amended--
(1) by striking ``The Attorney General'' following the
paragraph heading and inserting the following:
``(A) Eligibility.--The Secretary of Homeland
Security or the Attorney General'';
(2) by striking ``the Attorney General'' each place such
term appears and inserting ``the Secretary of Homeland Security
or the Attorney General''; and
(3) by adding at the end the following:
``(B) Burden of proof.--
``(i) In general.--The burden of proof is
on the applicant to establish that the
applicant is a refugee, within the meaning of
section 101(a)(42)(A). To establish that the
applicant is a refugee, within the meaning of
such section, the applicant must establish that
race, religion, nationality, membership in a
particular social group, or political opinion
was or will be a central reason for persecuting
the applicant.
``(ii) Sustaining burden.--The testimony of
the applicant may be sufficient to sustain the
applicant's burden without corroboration, but
only if the trier of fact determines that it is
credible, is persuasive, and refers to specific
facts that demonstrate that the applicant is a
refugee. In determining whether the applicant
has met the applicant's burden, the trier of
fact is entitled to weigh the credible
testimony along with other evidence of record.
Where the trier of fact determines, in the
trier of fact's discretion, that the applicant
should provide evidence which corroborates
otherwise credible testimony, such evidence
must be provided unless the applicant does not
have the evidence or cannot obtain the evidence
without departing the United States. The
inability to obtain corroborating evidence does
not excuse the applicant from meeting the
applicant's burden of proof.
``(iii) Credibility determination.--The
credibility determination of the trier of fact
may, in the trier of fact's discretion, be
based, in addition to other factors, on the
demeanor, candor, or responsiveness of the
applicant or witness, the inherent plausibility
of the applicant's or witness' account, the
consistency between the applicant's or witness'
written and oral statements, made at any time
and whether or not under oath, the internal
consistency of each such statement, the
consistency of such statements with the country
conditions in the country from which the
applicant claims asylum, and any inaccuracies
or falsehoods in such statements.''.
(b) Withholding of Removal.--Section 241(b)(3) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1231(b)(3)) is amended by adding at the
end the following:
``(C) Sustaining burden of proof; credibility
determinations.--In determining whether an alien has
demonstrated that the alien's life or freedom would be
threatened for a reason described in subparagraph (A),
the trier of fact shall determine whether the alien has
sustained the alien's burden of proof, and shall make
credibility determinations, in the manner described in
clauses (ii) and (iii) of section 208(b)(1)(B).''.
(c) Standard of Review for Orders of Removal.--Section 242(b)(4) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1252(b)(4)) is amended by
adding at the end, after the final subparagraph, the following:
``No court shall reverse a determination made by a trier of
fact with respect to the availability of corroborating
evidence, as described in section 208(b)(1)(B) or 241(b)(3)(C),
unless the court finds that a reasonable trier of fact is
compelled to conclude that such corroborating evidence is
unavailable.''.
(d) Clarification of Discretion.--Section 242(a)(2)(B) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1252(a)(2)(B)) is amended--
(1) in the matter preceding clause (i), by inserting ``and
regardless of whether the judgment, decision, or action is made
in removal proceedings,'' after ``other provision of law,'';
and
(2) in clause (ii), by inserting ``or the Secretary of
Homeland Security'' after ``Attorney General'' each place such
term appears.
(e) Effective Dates.--
(1) The amendments made by paragraphs (1) and (2) of
subsection (a) shall take effect as if enacted on March 1,
2003.
(2) The amendments made by subsections (a)(3) and (b) shall
take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act and shall
apply to applications for asylum or withholding made on or
after such date.
(3) The amendment made by subsection (c) shall take effect
on the date of the enactment of this Act and shall apply to all
cases in which the final administrative removal order was
issued before, on, or after such date.
(4) The amendments made by subsection (d) shall take effect
on the date of the enactment of this Act and shall apply to all
cases pending before any court on or after such date.
(f) Repeal.--Section 5403 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism
Prevention Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-458) is repealed.
SEC. 102. WAIVER OF LAWS NECESSARY FOR IMPROVEMENT OF BARRIERS AT
BORDERS.

Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1103 note) is amended to read as

alert Federal agency and other law enforcement
personnel that it may not be accepted for any such
purpose.
(e) Additional Powers of Secretary.--The Secretary, in the
Secretary's discretion--
(1) may, in addition to the requirements of subsection (b),
prescribe one or more design formats for driver's licenses and
identification cards that satisfy the requirements of this
section in order--
(A) to protect the national security interests of
the United States; and

cards (such as to differentiate between driver's
licenses valid for multi-year terms and temporary
driver's licenses); and
(2) may, in addition to the limitations described in
subsections (c)(2)(C)(ii) and (d)(10), further limit the
validity period of driver's licenses and identification cards

the State in conforming to the minimum standards set forth in this
title.
(b) Authorization of Appropriations.--There are authorized to be
appropriated to the Secretary for each of the fiscal years 2005 through
2009 such sums as may be necessary to carry out this title.
SEC. 206. AUTHORITY.
(a) Participation of Secretary of Transportation and States.--All
authority to issue regulations, certify standards, and issue grants
under this title shall be carried out by the Secretary, in consultation
