Chicago City Council Approves Mayor Rahm Emanuel Plan To Offer Illegal Immigrants City ID Cards
by Matthew Balan | 5:53 pm, April 20th, 2017
Chicago’s city council voted on Wednesday to authorize a $3 million program proposed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel that would grant special city ID’s for illegal immigrants and other groups.
The Chicago Sun-Times spotlighted the 44 to 4 vote in a Wednesday write-up. Mayor Emanuel asserted that the council had a “moral responsibility” to vote in favor of his plan, which would “help undocumented immigrants, homeless people, ex-offenders and domestic violence victims come ‘out of the shadows.'”
