Here is a summary of a news report broadcast on National Public Radio this morning. It comes from the website of the NPR show "Morning Edition":

"City officials in New Haven, Conn., expect to vote Monday on the rollout of a municipal identification card that would afford illegal immigrants opportunities common to other residents, such as banking. All residents may apply for the card. The city would be the first in the nation to issue ID cards to illegal immigrants."

The full report quoted the town's mayor as saying "these people (illegal laborers) are good for our economy." He has forbidden law enforcement officials to question people about their immigration status. Apparently, the entire New Haven city council supports this treason. I was stunned by the willingness of an elected official to break the law in plain sight. How did America ever come to this?

Here is the letter I sent to NPR not five minutes ago:

I was outraged by the report about ID cards being issued to illegal aliens in New Haven. I'm going to write the President and Senators Claire McCaskill and Kit Bond about it. The Mayor and City Council members should all be arrested and charged with treason! That's what it is when you compromise national security in a time of war by encouraging border violations! The brazen attitude of the Mayor about breaking the law is what shocked me most. To actually forbid police officers from questioning suspected illegals! It reminded of me of some corrupt frontier town! The entire city of New Haven should be considered a security risk! So should any other city that pursues similar public policy, and I know that others exist.

As promised, I've also written to my Senators and to the President.
