NEW YORK — New York City is poised to approve the creation of municipal identification cards that would allow immigrants living in the country illegally to access key city services they were previously unable to obtain.

The City Council will vote Thursday to create the New York City Identity Card, Democratic Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito told the Associated Press on Monday. The card will be available to people who can prove their identity and residence in the nation's largest city.

1. The card will be available to people who can prove their identity and residence in the nation's larg

What does that mean? They must live in a home? rent an apartment? What constitute residence in NYC?


Prove Identity? Birth Certificate from home country? Driver's License? How can they prove who they are?

2. I suspect"proving residence" means they arent living on the street.

As far as ID, I would guess they would have something from their home country to prove who they are and where they're from.
