"The U.S. House of Representatives passed the so-called 'Real ID' Act Thursday and the Senate is expected to do the same this week. The legislation, which would give U.S. justices broad powers to reject asylum claims for such subjective reasons as a person's 'demeanor', was attached to a key spending bill authorizing money for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."
