New York City Officials make it easier for illegal alien creatures to acquire a City Residency ID card, making it easier to obtain housing and free health care, according to reports.
City councilors made a change supported by Mayor Eric Adams that opens 23 extra types of IDs that can offer immigrants to obtain a stay card in New York City.
