[a fool in paradise]

While the cards would be available to all New Yorkers, they would be aimed at undocumented immigrants who don’t have access to bank accounts, library cards and even memberships at Costco because they can’t produce official photo ID.

So you are telling me that the only reason to do this is because illegal immigrants who paid others thousands to get here and for pilfered social security numbers, etc. don't want to spend another $25 at the flea market, the government needs to give them IDs yet American citizens cannot be compelled to get an ID to go vote?

Apparently American voters without photo ID don't go to Costco, the library, or the bank.

Call me skeptical.

If these cards are officially recognized ID what would stop illegals from registering to vote?
