City officials say a proposed city identification card will be extremely secure.
SAN FRANCISCO – Issuing municipal identification cards to illegal immigrants and others living in San Francisco has raised security concerns, but advocates of the plan say the IDs will be even more secure than California driver’s licenses.
The City’s plan to offer the ID cards is meant to ensure access to city services, financial institutions and increase crime reporting to local police. The program has suffered delays over legal and security concerns.

On Monday, the Board of Supervisors government audit committee supported amendments meant to address lingering security concerns. The amendments change the types of documents needed to prove residency and identity to obtain a card.

Supervisor Tom Ammiano, who proposed the program, said, “These changes mean that everyone that applies for a card will have to show at least one form of government ID, either U.S. or foreign.â€

Sorry, I find this is just another load of crap. When Illegals already have 5 or 6 ID's, what is to prevent them from getting 5 or 6 of these new "secure" ID's?
