     travel document to cross the international border and return 
     to the United States within a 72-hour period, on a limited

     appropriate documentation, to enter the United States upon a 
     demonstration of citizenship satisfactory to the officer and

     requirements.
       ``(3) State enrollment demonstration programs.--
       ``(A) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland 
     Security shall enter into a memorandum of understanding with

       ``(i) A State may include an individual's United States 
     citizenship status on a driver's license which meets the 
     requirements of section 202 of the REAL ID Act of 2005 
     (division B of Public Law 109-13; 49 U.S.C. 30301 note).
       ``(ii) The Secretary of State shall develop a mechanism to 
     communicate with a participating State to verify the United 
     States citizenship status of an applicant who voluntarily 
     seeks to have the applicant's United States citizenship 
     status included on a driver's license.
       ``(iii) All information collected about the individual 
     shall be managed exclusively in the same manner as 
     information collected through the passport application 
     process and no other distribution or use of such information 
     shall be permitted.
       ``(iv) A State may not require an individual to include the 
     individual's citizenship status on a driver's license.
       ``(v) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a

     subparagraph shall be deemed to be sufficient documentation 
     to permit the bearer to enter the United States from Canada 
     or Mexico through not less than at least 1 designated 
     international border crossing in each State participating in 
     the demonstration program.
       ``(B) Authority to expand.--The Secretary of State and the 
     Secretary of Homeland Security may expand the use of 
     demonstration programs under this paragraph so that such 
     program is carried out in additional States, through 
     additional ports of entry, for additional foreign countries, 
     and in a manner that permits the use of additional types of 
     identification documents to prove identity under the program.
       ``(C) Study.--Not later than 6 months after the date that 
     the demonstration program under this paragraph is 
     implemented, the Comptroller General of the United States 
     shall conduct a study of--
       ``(i) the cost of the production and issuance of documents 
     that meet the requirements of the program compared with other 
     travel documents;
       ``(ii) the impact of the program on the flow of cross-

     requirements of the program compared with other travel 
     documents.

     shall have the effect of creating a national identity card.
       ``(4) Reciprocity with canada.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, if the Secretary of State and the Secretary 
     of Homeland Security certify that certain identity documents 
     issued by Canada (or any of its provinces) meet security and 
     citizenship standards comparable to the requirements 
     described in paragraph (1), the Secretary may determine that 
     such documents are sufficient to permit entry into the United 
     States. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall work, to the 
     maximum extent possible, to ensure that identification 
     documents issued by Canada that permit entry into the United 
     States under this subparagraph contain the same technology as 
     identification documents issued by the United States (or any 
     State).
       ``(5) Additional pilot programs.--To the maximum extent 
     possible, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall seek to 
     conduct pilot programs related to passport cards issued 
     pursuant to this subsection and the demonstration programs 
     described in this subsection at ports of entry located on the 
     international border between the United States and Canada or

     Mexico.
       ``(6) Expansion of nexus and sentri technology.--The 
     Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the 
     appropriate officials of the Government of Canada, shall

[[Page S7429]]

     technology and 6 additional ports of entry located along the 
     southern international border of the United States with 
     SENTRI technology.

     Security shall conduct and expand trusted traveler programs 
     and pilot programs to facilitate expedited processing of 
     United States citizens returning from pleasure craft trips in 
     Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, or Bermuda. The Secretary 
     shall conduct one such program in Florida that is modeled on 
     the Department of Homeland Security's Canadian Border Boat 
     Landing (I-68) Program.
       ``(8) Public information.--The Secretary of State, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, shall 
     develop and implement an outreach plan to inform United 
     States citizens of the initiatives and programs carried out 
     under this subsection and of the other provisions of this 
     Act, to facilitate the acquisition of appropriate 
     documentation to travel to Canada, Mexico, the countries 
     located in the Caribbean, and Bermuda, and to educate United 
     States citizens who are unaware of the requirements for such 
     travel. Such outreach plan should include--
       ``(A) written notifications posted at or near public 
     facilities, including border crossings, schools, libraries, 
     Amtrak stations, and United States Post Offices located 
     within 50 miles of the international border between the 
     United States and Canada or the international border between 
     the United States and Mexico and other ports of entry;

     of motor vehicles, gas stations, supermarkets, convenience 
     stores, hotels, and travel agencies;

     determines are appropriate.''.

       This title may be cited as the ``Border Law Enforcement 
     Relief Act of 2006''

     SEC. 602. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) It is the obligation of the Federal Government of the 
     United States to adequately secure the Nation's borders and 
     prevent the flow of undocumented persons and illegal drugs 
     into the United States.
       (2) Despite the fact that the United States Border Patrol 
     apprehends over 1,000,000 people each year trying to 
     illegally enter the United States, according to the 
     Congressional Research Service, the net growth in the number 
     of unauthorized aliens has increased by approximately 500,000 
     each year. The Southwest border accounts for approximately 94 
     percent of all migrant apprehensions each year. Currently, 
     there are an estimated 11,000,000 unauthorized aliens in the 
     United States.
       (3) The border region is also a major corridor for the 
     shipment of drugs. According to the El Paso Intelligence 
     Center, 65 percent of the narcotics that are sold in the 
     markets of the United States enter the country through the 
     Southwest Border.
       (4) Border communities continue to incur significant costs 
     due to the lack of adequate border security. A 2001 study by 
     the United States-Mexico Border Counties Coalition found that 
     law enforcement and criminal justice expenses associated with 
     illegal immigration exceed $89,000,000 annually for the 
     Southwest border counties.
       (5) In August 2005, the States of New Mexico and Arizona 
     declared states of emergency in order to provide local law 
     enforcement immediate assistance in addressing criminal 
     activity along the Southwest border.
       (6) While the Federal Government provides States and 
     localities assistance in covering costs related to the 
     detention of certain criminal aliens and the prosecution of 
     Federal drug cases, local law enforcement along the border 
     are provided no assistance in covering such expenses and must 
     use their limited resources to combat drug trafficking, human 
     smuggling, kidnappings, the destruction of private property, 
     and other border-related crimes.
       (7) The United States shares 5,525 miles of border with 
     Canada and 1,989 miles with Mexico. Many of the local law 
     enforcement agencies located along the border are small, 
     rural departments charged with patrolling large areas of 
     land. Counties along the Southwest United States-Mexico 
     border are some of the poorest in the country and lack the 
     financial resources to cover the additional costs associated 
     with illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and other border-
     related crimes.
       (8) Federal assistance is required to help local law 
     enforcement operating along the border address the unique 
     challenges that arise as a result of their proximity to an 
     international border and the lack of overall border security 
     in the region
