Dozens line up for Newburgh municipal IDs on first day

[GOYABEAN]

tax payers money working hard for you
NEWBURGH – People lined up outside Newburgh City Hall an hour before municipal ID cards were to be distributed for the first time to city residents on Tuesday.

An hour after the doors opened, there were dozens of people in line to obtain their card. Residents waited patiently and as they walked out with their new photo IDs, they had a sense of pride on their faces. Blanco Flores held up her card and proudly announced she was from Newburgh.

City Manager Joseph Donat credited the unity of the mayor and city council working with staff to have the program up and running in less than 90 days.

Ignacio Acevedo, lead organizer for Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson, said the program is a major enhancement for city residents. Before Newburgh’s program, the cities of Middletown, Beacon, Poughkeepsie and Kingston started their municipal ID programs and Acevedo doesn’t want to stop there. He would like to expand it further.

If I had a little more balls and a lot more money, it would have been fun to drive up in a white van wearing a blue windbreaker with "ICE" spelled out on the back.

Two takes...

1. Why weren't they then followed for "suspicion" of being a criminal migrant due to the need for an ID?

2. If giving out ID is ok, why then is it not OK to provide it in order to vote!?

Seems they're all having their cake, and eating it too.

OH I know I shouldn't have but I couldn't help but leave a comment, I shamelessly stole Cooolone #2 question about voting. The bad part is they needed a valid email.

It's about legitimizing these people being in our country illegally. They'll vote for the hand that feeds. The dems just see them as votes.

 

[togmaster]

Now we know where they are.

 

[Catskillkid]

Now we know where they are.

Yup, I agree. I think these should be an excellent tool for them to use just like they're starting to use driver's licenses in some places to find them.

 

[GOPerfect]

I am sure this was publicized, I wonder why ICE was not there?

 

[GOYABEAN]

I think they got from Newburgh

 

[Acer-m14]

i hope there only Valid there ..

 

[Cavalry]

Where exactly is this valid and what can it be used for? Reminds me of the "Sheriff ID's" back in the day, absolutely worthless.


*edit* I tried to look up what this is good for exactly, and was directed to this common council meeting. Good thing its bilingual. Christ, its almost as disgusting as Laredo Tx.

beat me to it

 

[Saltwater60]

Ice should have been there to round these criminals up.

Middletown did the same crap. The ID is useless and the real name of the ID holder is anyone’s guess. Just the city politicians selling out the citizens again for illegal votes
