L.A. City Council Committee Unanimously Approves ID Cards for Undocumented Immigrants

October 16, 2012/ Tron Nick

On Tuesday, members of the Los Angeles City Council Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee unanimously agreed to move ahead and ask the full Council to approve a request to allow potential vendors to study the city's program that would provide undocumented immigrants with an official city identification card. The L.A. Times called the decision a "key vote" to move ahead with the official city ID cards.

Councilman Ed Reyes, a member of the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee, told the LA Times it's "about time" that L.A. residents, regardless of immigration status, have the ability to easily open bank accounts and access city services.

California has the highest number of undocumented immigrants in the country. San Francisco launched similar ID card efforts in 2009.
