Dallas Work With Nearby Translation Companies to Create Personal Documentation Cards
The main users of community identification cards will be the homeless and immigrants, though they should be available to all citizens, but whatever happens they must not bear any close resemblance to a shameful scarlet letter. Although is some states immigrants have been issued driver’s licenses, for example Texas and Delaware, this has not turned into widespread practice since most state require immigrants to show proof of their legal status. For Clean America, an organization that is totally against giving legal status to illegal immigrants has made a statement through its spokesperson, Graham Strand, in which it branded ID card programs for their encouraging people not to leave their communities, which would ruin U.S. immigration laws. The majority of the Latino inhabitants do not have immigrant documents, according to some statistics that has been translated and provided by the Dallas Translation Services corporation. Despite this fact, and although they have been increasingly marginalized, those people wish they could have the opportunity to lead a normal life.
The ID program that was launched in March 2008, has not met with any resistance among city officials ever since, says Detective Ron Benet of the Office of Rural Affairs at the San Antonio Police Department. Citizens shall not be asked about their immigration status unless there is a suspicion of a criminal act, city and police officials have been ordered. Although the authorities in San Antonio have given promises to keep in strict confidentiality all the information provided by the immigrants, being very suspicious very few of them have come forward to receive their cads. A lot of informative leaflets have been distributed among the residents letting them know that no violence would be exercised on them. These have been translated by the Miami Translator professional, but despite that a series of arrests have been started by federal agents and twenty immigrants have been sent to custody. Thus feeling the pressure of being arrested the immigrants turned down the offer of collecting their cards.
It is a clear fact that the identification cards can only be valid within the city issuing them. And although some ID cards have been confiscated for suspicions of being fakes, the program has been a success, say the organizers who are trying to gain support from other municipalities. In order to be able to collect his paychecks at the company where he works or to get through the strict security of the buildings where he is assigned interpretation jobs, Osvaldo Morientes, aged 28, coming from Costa Rica, and a part time worker at the Houston Translator agency, had no other chance but to use his ID card. Two weeks ago, he did an interpretation job for his company, in which he accompanied Juan Marin Serra to the local Police Department in order to assist him in a police interrogation. While he was driving, a police officer pulled him over for not functioning indicator lights. The necessary documents he was expected to show were his insurance card, his driver’s license and his registration. Unfortunately, he failed to provide both as only the ID card was available to him, but fortunately, the police officer only gave him a warning about the rear lights. By law, failure to provide a driver’s license is a punishable offense, but the police officer closed his eyes for it. What Juan Marin could not do anything else but thank God for his luck and meeting everything with a smile.
