Supposedly, as the story goes, since one needs some type of picture ID to obtain a library card, or open a bank account, these city-issued ID's will allow those who hold them to do so within the city limits.
And never to be used for things like getting a drivers license or registering to vote? Are you sure?
"The program has gained national attention because people against ID cards say it's a way for illegal immigrants to fly under the governments radar and still benefit even though they're not American citizens."
There’s a lot more to this than just going to the library.
There’s a Mexico link:

And even a possible link between the mayor and a bank:

If anyone wants to do something about this, publicly ask the mayor about the Mexico link and put it up on Youtube.
