New Haven approves ID cards for illegal immigrants, others - Connecticut

“The Board of Aldermen overwhelmingly approved a plan Monday night that would allow the city to issue identification cards for illegal immigrants and others.

The card would be recognized as official identification within city limits, allowing illegal immigrants to open bank accounts. By a vote of 25-1, the board agreed to accept more than $250,000 in private funds from the First City Fund Corporation to implement the so-called “Elm City Resident Cards,” proposed by Mayor John DeStefano Jr.”
