The city of New Haven, Connecticut will issue legal identification cards to illegal immigrants. Monday the Board of Aldermen approved the program — believed to be the first of its kind in the nation. The ID cards would give illegals access to city services and permit them to open bank accounts. City officials say that will allow the area's 15,000 illegals to avoid carrying cash around and becoming robbery victims.
Mayor John DeStefano told a TV station — "The city's not trying to set its own foreign policy here. What's happening is we're dealing with a failing national immigration policy."
Connecticut's not that big, so don't delay. It won't be easy getting all 12 million of you in New Haven.
