A New Haven for Illegals?

Yes, corny pun but I couldn't resist. New Haven Connecticut has issued "municipal identification cards" that any resident of New Haven can get for ten bucks. The argument was that the illegal aliens living in New Haven (home of Yale University) were often victims of crime. The rationale given was this is b/c they carry cash b/c they cannot open bank accounts without proper identification.

This municipal ID will also allow people with no other ID to get a library card. (Pardon my skeptism but I don't really think this is going to help anybody to learn to speak English)

The Newsmax.com article is here but the BEST comment that I heard about this whole episode of liberal idiocy came from Glenn Beck. He was interviewing a citizen of New Haven and the fella was really distressed by the whole thing. Then Glenn says "Well people are always saying that housing costs are really bad in New Haven. Look on the bright side - just give this a few months and the property values will go down and housing will be much more affordable."
