“One role the state can play in addressing illegal immigration is to issue ID cards, said New Haven Mayor John DeStefano, the Democratic candidate for governor.

“They are a ready victim class. They have no Social Security number so they have no bank account, so they keep a large amount of cash on hand,” DeStefano said. “Because of that, they become victims of crimes, but they don’t report the crime to police because they are afraid of what will happen.”
