New York City to Start Its Own ID Card Program

Why can't the same people get a state issued ID card?

Will the federal government or business or other states or other countries recognize them?

It will make counterfeiting easier to get way with.

LEOs will see this ID as a sign of not being in the country legally.

I think that a state-issued ID requires an address, whereas the IDNYC card makes specific provisions for those without a registered address.

LEO will see having no ID similarly, so mu.
