The card was being promoted as a way to condense many City services into one ID card. Seems logical, doesn't it? It was suspected however, that this ID card may insidiously be used as an avenue to legitimize the status of illegal aliens who reside within the City of Phoenix.

The  "fly in the ointment" in all of this is that the "Center for Neighborhood Leadership" is a de facto, left wing Pro-Obama "Community Organizing" group. Both Councilwoman Pastor and this organization hope to push this agenda item through with the ultimate goal of it being approved by the Phoenix City Council. Once Phoenix takes the bait it will be a matter of time before other municipalities in the State of Arizona follow suit.

As of February 2025, there is no current information about a "Unified City Services/Municipal ID Card" program in Phoenix. The city of Phoenix does not currently offer a municipal ID card for illegal aliens.  In 2025, Arizona illegal aliens/undocumented immigrants  do not have access to a driver license or state identification card. The Arizona Department of Transportation requires non-citizens to provide an employment authorization document (EAD), an I-94 Arrival/Departure Form, or a Green Card to obtain a driver's license.
