         PROHIBITING TSA FROM ACCEPTING NOTICE TO APPEAR FORMS

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I have introduced legislation to prohibit 
TSA from accepting Notice to Appear forms as valid ID for clearing 
airport security.
  Notice to Appear forms summon illegal immigrants to present 
themselves for removal hearings. They contain no real security features 
and can be easily forged.
  After first denying it to the press, the TSA admitted to me that they 
were giving illegal immigrants special leeway by accepting Notice to 
Appear forms. This defies commonsense.
  Those who violate our laws should never be held to a lower security 
standard than law-abiding citizens. It is a serious security risk. It 
is unfair to honest Americans. It must stop now.
  I call on all of my colleagues to support this legislation. TSA must 
stop giving illegal immigrants special treatment.
