City ID cards for undocumented immigrants will include free memberships to cultural institutions.
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/city-id-cards-undocumented-immigrants-include-membership-culture-spots-article-1.1945280
[In NYC] The city's new ID cards will do more than just give undocumented immigrants identification — they’ll grant free memberships to top cultural institutions, from Carnegie Hall to the Bronx Zoo.

And officials hinted the cards eventually will provide discounts at movie theaters and other more commercial entertainment venues.

Hizzoner made the issuance of ID cards a cornerstone of his mayoral campaign. The cards, he said, would help undocumented immigrants access services they could not receive without identification.

So illegal/undocumented immigrants are given free memberships to 33 cultural institutions where legal citizens/taxpayers are required to pay an admission fee? At the same time they don't want to require proof of citizenship to vote?

Who is buying votes? Buy me a shot on election day... the bars are open today!

These liberal bastards seem to think if they simply " change the wording " from ILLEGAL to Undocumented...it changes how it is looked upon.....But IT Does Not.....It's STILL ILLEGAL and against the LAW



Well of course I do....Liar

That is a very cultural way to BUY votes....Brick wall

Actually, our local libraries offer free tickets to museums in the greater Boston area. All you need to do is ask.

Sorry Alan, your not comparing apples to apples. And as a tax paying CITIZEN ( you ) I'm happy to hear that there's a little perk if you will, but MOST of us are tired of government agencies " giving away " OUR hard earned money to folks who I'm sorry....Do Not Deserve It.....after all they are Felons right?? You can have Boston and Everything it no longer stands for.....liberal minded landfill IMHO but glad your happy there.

Just answering the op's question, Paul, no need to go all caps on me. And I'll take Boston and everything it stands for. Thanks.

I get why this seems outrageous on the surface. But looking a little deeper it may make sense. If this helps document illegal immigrants, it helps police, fire, social services, and so on. Just using the police as an example, they can do a background check on a documented illegal but not on an undocumented illegal.

The only free access to museums & other cultural attractions when I asked was to the restroom.
