Sanctuary San Francisco

City Supervisor Tom Ammiano is proposing that San Francisco issue ID cards for illegal aliens and homeless people.

The cards would be accepted by all city agencies and organizations that receive city funding. Ammiano plans to introduce the legislation within a couple of weeks. He also is trying to persuade financial institutions to allow residents to use the cards to open accounts.

Since illegal aliens frequently have several aliases, it would seem risky to loan money or offer credit. Of course, the idea may be a non-starter if a few more legislators get fed up with "sanctuary cities" and cut off federal funding.

Interestingly, while most cities try to attract business and stable families, San Francisco focuses on being more appealing to illegal aliens, homeless people and the radical political fringe.
