New Haven Welcomes Terrorists

Never mind sending us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free. New Haven, Connecticut raised the stakes yesterday by starting its municipal identification program. The program, which provides identification cards to resident of the city, has been promoted as allowing illegal immigrants to finally avail themselves of all of the city's services. While that may be enough to inflame those who believe that no illegal behavior, including immigrating, should be tolerated, there's another more deadly reason to be concerned.

Terrorists can get this identification card.

If any illegal immigrant can get a card, that means terrorists can get them too. It means that New Haven has just made it easier for terrorists to create new identities. After all, if you can't get identification because you're here illegally, how can you prove you are who this new card says you are.

This is why you have to monitor the borders. Because the person who is sneaking in to try to make a better life could be blown up by the guy sneaking in behind him.
