Turning librarians into conveyers of pseudo citizenship
Placeholder Image
Librarians aren’t exactly experts on terror, drug operations, or the nuances of federal law enforcement.So one would think it wouldn’t be wise to have them screen - or more accurately - issue carte blanche identification cards that would give illegals a toe-hold on legitimacy in the United States. Los Angeles is pondering a proposal to use the library to issue identification cards to illegals so they can open bank accounts and access municipal services. It is similar to existing systems in San Francisco and Oakland except they don’t tie the city-issued ID cards to the library system.The goal is noble.
