New York City has initiated a policy to simplify the process for illegal migrants to obtain municipal residency ID cards, enabling access to public services such as healthcare and housing. This policy change, which has been approved by the City Council, includes broader ID acceptance criteria. Republican Senator Ashley Moody has vocally opposed this initiative, labeling it 'reckless' and suggesting it could attract individuals with felony convictions to exploit the city's services. The ID system, established in 2015, aims to assist migrants and has faced significant political scrutiny.
Sen. Ashley Moody described NYC's moves to issue residency ID cards to illegal migrants as 'absolutely insanity,' criticizing them for expanding access to city benefits.
Moody called the policy 'reckless and dangerous,' stating that the city is effectively inviting convicted felons to obtain IDs to access healthcare and housing.
