"Philadelphia began its municipal identification program Thursday, allowing homeless people, those living in the country illegally and minors to obtain photo ID cards. Cardholders can also choose their preferred genders, something much talked about when the ID program was first introduced.

"Get your card," Mayor Jim Kenney said. "Because one of the main concerns we had, relative to this card and why it took a little longer, was that we didn't want it to be a scarlet letter for undocumented individuals… the more people we have get theses, the safer our undocumented residents will be."

*Not in article, but the local news said that the address will be deleted from system as soon as the card is issued. A clear effort to keep illegals from being tracked down and deported.
