If they are "working poor" they should have an ID anyway. You pretty much have to have an ID to be legally employed these days. I know I had to provide identification last time I changed jobs. Personally, I suspect just about anyone without a valid ID is an illegal or other criminal. They should be required to provide proof of residence, birth certificate, and a social security card to vote. The names on all 3 should also be the same.
you are right but the state of Texas considers their electricity bills, etc...other bills, proof of residence. I do not ask them why they do not have photo id....I do not ever want to make them feel uncomfortable..I have a translator with me ..he is very kind and personable and good at what he does..we provide transportation also so they need to trust us. I do not want to intimidate them. If they are illegal, for the most part they will not even answer the door. The working poor work two to four jobs and would never ask for any kind of assistance. Hence, one of the reasons they do not have id...they would have to have it then
