San Francisco to issue illegals IDs
A notoriously liberal California city that boasts about its illegal immigrant sanctuary status will become the nation’s first large municipality to document the undocumented by offering them government identification cards.
San Francisco was officially proclaimed an illegal immigrant “Sanctuary City” by its board of supervisors in 1989 and now lawmakers are taking it a huge step further by creating legislation to grant illegal aliens official city identification cards.
The small Connecticut town of http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1324 has such a program but San Francisco will become the first major U.S. city to offer those in the country illegally an official government ID. The legislation is being drafted by San Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano, has the mayor’s unconditional support and is expected to be unanimously approved by the board.The cards will be accepted by all agencies and organizations that receive city funding and will allow illegal immigrants to open accounts at financial institutions. The measure could spark a trend among other major U.S. cities—New York, Detroit and Dallas among them–already exploring the possibility of creating such a law.
