Another way to separate the riff-raff from the rest.

Even poor Dominicans have a Real ID(cedula) but yet some in the US feel they're being disenfranchised if they're required to have one.

I just do not see the big issue with this. You either have a passport or a Real ID, maybe both (like me).

I fly domestically often as well, I dont carry my passport, and having global entry, it gives you TSA pre-check as well. Just an added touch of convenience. I was a regular customer of "Before Boarding" at Santo Dom Airport. However I stopped using the service as the lines have not been that long coming and going.

What was your impression of "Before boarding?" Did you use them for transportation as well?

I used them regularly with car service as well. It was a good product. However, even if they wisk you through immigration you still must wait for your bags to be de-planed and hit the carousal. Now I just use the car service and a porter with a cart.

going to the airport you will actually beat your fellow travelers to the gate if you don't use them.
