    Chicago Hides Critical Info On Illegal Immigrants From Feds

    Chicago Hides Critical Info On Illegal Immigrants From Feds

    The city of Chicago moved forward to protect illegal immigrants through their municipal identification program in an effort to stifle the federal government’s move to crack down on sanctuary cities.

    The Chicago Sun Times reports Mayor Rahm Emanuel and City Clerk Anna Valencia took measures Wednesday to prevent sensitive information on Chicago’s municipal IDs form being used against illegal immigrants who live in the city.

    Similar to the municipal IDs New York Mayor Bill de Blasio pushed in New York City, the identification card enables illegal immigrants to access Chicago’s city services.
    According to The Sun Times, Emanuel and Valencia wanted to put out assurances that the city will only inquire about applicants about immigration status. Additionally, the city will not keep copies of applicants’ personal information.

    “It’s going to capture just the name and the date of birth. It’s not going to capture an address,” a source familiar with the program told The Sun Times.


    “Applicants will also be able to self-designate their gender, which will be huge to the transgender and LGBTQ community. And it’s not just for undocumented individuals. It’s for people with disabilities and people who are homeless or victims of domestic violence” who will be able to select an alternative address, the source added.

    The source continued, “In the San Francisco model, applicants bring in the documents to prove someone’s identify. They hand them over to specially trained individual who can review the documents and then hand them back,” the source said. “In New York right now, they are retaining the address. We’re not going to retain any of that information that’s handed to us regarding the address.”

    Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Monday that the Department of Justice would withhold federal funds from municipalities that defy federal immigration law.
    “Fundamentally, we intend to use all the lawful authority we have to make sure that our state and local officials, who are so important to law enforcement, are in sync with the federal government,” Sessions said.

    He later added, “Countless Americans would be alive today and countless loved ones would not be grieving today if these policies of sanctuary cities were ended.”
    Emanuel vowed that Chicago would remain a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants despite Sessions’s threat.

    “I’ve always seen Chicago as a welcoming city,” Emanuel said in an interview with NBC Monday.

    Rahm Emanuel Invents New ID to Ensure Illegals Get Their Welfare

    by IAN MASON
    31 Mar 2017

    Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has moved forward with plans for a Chicago-only identification card specifically designed to ensure illegal aliens in the city can receive welfare benefits with minimal risk of repatriation.

    The new program was unveiled at a Chicago City Council meeting on Wednesday, and it protects illegal aliens from federal oversight by not collecting any copies of identification documents presented when illegals apply for the identification card.

    “Applicants bring in the documents to prove someone’s identity. They hand them over to specially trained individual who can review the documents and then hand them back … It’s going to capture just the name and the date of birth. It’s not going to capture an address,” a source close to those officials told the Chicago Sun-Times.

    Emanuel, once President Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff, has been one of the loudest voices decrying Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s efforts to cut off federal funding for sanctuary cities like Chicago that refuse to cooperate in the enforcement of immigration laws.

    The “Municipal ID” plan is Emanuel’s latest bid to resist the effort of the Justice Department and remain what he has called a “welcoming city.” Emanuel’s new City Clerk Anna Valencia’s website describes the Municipal ID as “an optional, valid, government-issued ID that they can then use to access a range of services from both the private and public sectors. ”

    In addition to ensuring access for illegals to government programs, the Clerk’s Office also claims to be “working with cultural institutions, sports teams, pharmacies, local chambers of commerce and community organizations to explore potential discounts and partnerships.”

    The scheme is specifically designed not only to allow illegals to obtain the cards, but to avoid collecting data that could be used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to discover aliens in the country illegally. Chicago is apparently looking to a model pioneered in San Francisco to frustrate ICE efforts.

    “Applicants bring in the documents to prove someone’s identity. They hand them over to specially trained individual who can review the documents and then hand them back … It’s going to capture just the name and the date of birth. It’s not going to capture an address,” a source close to those officials told the Chicago Sun-Times.

    While city officials will make no effort to ascertain if recipients of the new ID are committing a crime by being in the United States, they will ensure that the gender with which they most strongly identify will be properly documented. “Applicants will also be able to self-designate their gender, which will be huge to the transgender and LGBTQ community. And it’s not just for undocumented individuals,” the same source said.

    The Sun-Times also reported that the Municipal ID program itself will cost Chicago taxpayers $1 million in its first year of implementation.

    Wonder how that sits with the state of Illinois, considering welfare benefits are state administered. Or with medicaid for the anchor births, not a "city" program either.

    That city is going under despite his efforts to remain a sanctuary city. They do not have the funds if they are cut off for all that welfare or to implement that program. I just feel bad for the American citizens that have to live in that crime ridden city that their government is so corrupt and does nothing about it.
    Freedom isn't free... Don't forget the men who died and gave that right to all of us....
