Officials of New Haven have just made their city a little more user friendly for immigrants regardless of status. They approved a plan to offer immigrants identification cards that would let them access services that many take for granted like opening bank accounts. The plan is the first of its kind in the United States and goes against the grain of what many cities are doing to make it harder for undocumented immigrants to access basic services or even rent apartments. New Haven has about 15,000 undocumented immigrants.
