The Oakland ID card will do NOTHING to help an illegal immigrant get a job. The day laborer market is illegal becuase nobody involved is reporting their income, paying incmoe taxes, social security, self-employment, or disability taxes. And this is true of both the citizens and non-citizens involved in the market. The ID card is not going to change that, so no one is going to bother checking to see if the guy has one. If somebody wants a legal job they will still need a social security number, and this ID card will not provide that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
