Pssstt…. wanna buy a bridge?

18 June 2007

From Sunday’s San Antonio Express-News:

Here’s one for the “Coincidence … or not?” file.

On June 4, the New Haven, Conn., Board of Aldermen voted 25-1 to allow the city to issue identification cards to, among others, undocumented immigrants.

The $10 card allows the bearer to open a bank account and access city services. The city is the first in the country to implement a program of such scope.

Two days after the ordinance was passed, federal authorities conducted an early morning sting, and more than 30 undocumented immigrants had been arrested as of last week, a spokeswoman for Mayor John DeStefano Jr. told the Express-News.

Officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the arrests were routine and not politically driven…

Why, sure… why wouldn’t we belive that?
