Oakland's ID cards for illegal workers
Published 4:44 pm, Tuesday, January 1, 2013
Starting next year, the city will begin issuing municipal identification cards to help residents without legal immigration status. Such cards are critical for tasks that range from the urgent, like an interaction with police, to the everyday, like cashing a check.
"For a city that is mostly people of color with a large immigrant population, I think it's important that the local government responds to the needs of all the populations in the city," said outgoing Councilman Ignacio De La Fuente, who worked on the issue with Mayor Jean Quan. "An ID card is one of those needs."
Critics of such cards describe the program in words even supporters might not dispute.
"A card like this legitimizes the presence of illegal immigrants," said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank that advocates for stricter immigration control. "It's a message from the city government that federal law isn't as important to the city as its own regulations."
Other cities have established municipal identification cards, including San Francisco, New Haven, Conn., and Washington, D.C. Los Angeles and Richmond have cards in the works.
Oakland's is particularly notable because it also doubles as a debit card, a feature believed to be unique nationally, but whose complexity ended up delaying the cards for three years. The card also does not require individuals to be identified by gender, a detail transgender advocates sought.
