| REUTERS NEWS AGENCY - As many U.S. cities and states arrest illegal aliens in raids and toughen laws against them, a Connecticut city is offering to validate them under a new, first-in-the-nation ID-card program. Starting tomorrow, New Haven will offer illegal aliens municipal identification cards that allow access to city services such as libraries and a chance to open bank accounts. Supporters say the cards will improve public safety and give illegal aliens protections now afforded legal residents. Critics contend that it will unleash a flood of illegal immigration, straining services and wasting taxpayer money. New Haven officials overwhelmingly approved the program last month in a 25 to 1 vote. |

| #3 Actually, I can't completely bash this idea. Kennedy was arguing that these people were in the shadows, correct? Well, let's bring them out, then. Get them all in one area, give them all ID cards - then deport them. At least, that's how I'd like to do it. Unfortunately, not everybody thinks like I do . . . |
