Hundreds wait for hours to buy S.F. ID card Heather Knight, Chronicle Staff Writer Friday, January 16, 2009
Hundreds of people stood in line for hours at San Francisco City Hall on Thursday to be among the first in the nation to receive municipal identification cards regardless of their immigration status.
The cards, also available in New Haven, Conn., and being considered in other cities, have sparked fury among advocates of stricter immigration laws. They argue cities have no business declaring people residents if they are not in the country legally.
But San Francisco officials and recipients of the cards hailed the new program as a way to connect undocumented immigrants with banks, businesses and city services, such as obtaining health care and checking out library books. They also said it will encourage card holders to report crimes to the police without fear of being arrested or deported.
"I really need the identification card," said Marvin Martinez, 50, who arrived in the city five months ago from Florida and is originally from Mexico. Martinez, who didn't say whether he was a legal resident, stood in a long line - one made up mostly of Latino men - that snaked down the marble hallway outside the county clerk's office.
"I'll use it to look for jobs and for school and when the police stop me, I'll have ID to show them," he said. "It'll improve things."

"With Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and other top office holders heading to Washington, D.C., to witness the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama, California's affairs of state will be left to the man who stands sixth in line to the Governor's Office under the state constitution.
Lockyer will be riding high because – in order of succession – Lt. Gov. John Garamendi, Senate Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, Secretary of State Debra Bowen and Attorney General Jerry Brown are all going to Washington.
With these any other democrats out of the way something will it done that they have failed to do yet. I can not tell any details because the guy that told me was a friend and didn't want to shoot me.
Too many have turned their back on God.
It’s not about health care...It’s about getting them to vote! Health care is the bribe.
No, it is up to us.
God can move mountains, but you better bring a shovel.
Where I live, being a resident of San Francisco isn’t exactly the kind of thing you’d want to brag about.
I use the name another Freeper came up with: Stan’s Fag Disco.
This is open insurrection. It is the city of San Francisco issuing an ID card so that illegal immigrants can do business in the U.S. It is in effect superseding the authority of the U.S. Government.
It is in effect, a slow burning civil war without hostilities as of yet.
San Francisco’s ID program is insurance only for illegals. It spits in the face of rest of America and a supine Congress will do nothing to stop the flow of federal dollars and grants to this renegade city.
If you’re an illegal from Mexico you can check out a book in the SF library. But not if you’re an American from Oakland.
Let me get this right, these are the guys who kept telling us immigration was a federal issue, right?
If cities are going to start making their own immigration policies then cut fed and state imigration oriented money to those cities
True and so absurd. They should try the SF Bd. of Supervisors and their former alumnus- Dian Feinstein, for treason
