San Francisco to do What NY Couldn’t: IDs for Undocumented

It’s said that if you can make it in New York, New York you can make it anywhere. Well undocumented residents may want to consider a move to San Francisco, since they approved a law that will allow illegal immigrants who may be unable or unwilling to secure state-issued driver’s licenses to apply for municipal identification cards. This program is modeled after the controversial New Haven, Connecticut program. The program is scheduled to go into effect next August and will charge adults $15 for each card and $5 for children to defray costs, which are expected to run between $423,000 and $1.1 million during the first year.

Wal-Mart Gets Gifty in Tabasco

Wal-Mart Stores already went bilingual, probably so they could better speak to the undocumented workers they hire and pay slave wages to, or maybe to better communicate with Mexican protesters. So today’s announcement that the company gave a $600,000 grant to World Vision to aid economic recovery in the flooded Tabasco-Chiapas region of Mexico is just the big box store being more responsive to Latinos.
“We have a very long history of providing support to the communities we serve when they need it most,” said Margaret McKenna, President of the Wal-Mart Foundation. “The work our fellow associates at Wal-Mart de Mexico have already been doing is a great example of this, and we’re proud to be playing our part, aiding in the economic recovery process.”
