New York to provide free legal aid, IDs to undocumented immigrants
CSM ^ | 06/27/2014 | Harry Bruinius

NEW YORK — As Congress remains gridlocked by the partisan wrangling over the issue of illegal immigration, New York City this week approved two separate plans that advocates say could signal a sea change in the ways cities handle undocumented workers and their families.

On Wednesday, the New York City Council earmarked $4.9 million of the city budget to give legal assistance to foreign-born New York residents facing deportation. This makes New York the first city in the US to provide lawyers for low-income immigrants detained by federal authorities. The city will provide such aid both for undocumented immigrants and for those with legal residency.

And on Thursday, the City Council voted to create a new municipal ID program for all who live within its five boroughs, following the lead of cities such as New Haven, Conn., San Francisco, and Los Angeles – each with large immigrant populations – to give any resident the documentation needed to open a bank account, sign a lease, or even get a library card. The measure passed 43 to 3, with three abstentions.

The enemy inside the gates now have the alien invaders covered on both ends - taxpayer defense lawyers and Obama hired sympathetic government attorneys to throw the prosecution:
" Department of Homeland Security has just completed a hiring blitz of attorneys to oversee and manage immigration litigation. Almost all of these new civil service attorney hires hail from an activist pro-amnesty and pro-asylum background. Sources within the Department of Homeland Security report that the process for hiring these new career civil service lawyers was unconventional and was conducted by an Obama political appointee within DHS."

"The new attorneys have activist backgrounds with a variety of pro-amnesty groups such as the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), the Advancement Project, and open borders groups funded by the Tides Foundation."

“undocumented immigrants” BULL. If you don’t follow our immigration laws you are not an immigrant but remain a foreigner. Foreigners are aliens - if present illegally they are illegal aliens.

“undocumented immigrants” is a lie designed to ease your acceptance of illegal aliens - illegally present foreigners.

The Camp of the Saints (Le Camp des saints) is a 1973 French apocalyptic novel by Jean Raspail. The novel depicts a hypothetical setting whereby Third World mass immigration to France and the West led to the destruction of Western civilization. It sparked controversial reactions ranging from prophetic to discriminatory. Almost forty years after publication the book which influenced Ronald Reagan and François Mitterrand returned to the bestseller list in 2011.[1]

Corruption of language leads to corruption of discourse leads to wrong actions. I’m sick of the distortions of language. It’s lying.

Since there are no documents to prove who these people really are, this is an open invitation to identity theft.

Immigrants and foreigners are treated differently. Calling illegally present foreigners “immigrants” is a lie, a lie which results in their being treated incorrectly.

A similar distortion of language occurs with “homosexual marriage”. Marriage has always and everywhere meant “man and woman” or “man and women”. The lie is changing the definition of the word “marriage” to mean any grouping of persons, which leads to corrupt discourse: that homosexuals are being discriminated against. This leads to wrong actions.

(ok, I’m done, said what I had to say)

They don’t need IDs to vote.
They don’t need IDs to cash their government checks.
They don’t need IDs to to use our hospitals.
They don’t need IDs to use our schools.
They don’t need IDs to get all kinds of government programs.

What do they need IDs for?

Maybe the guys at the liquor store are pushing for this.
