In the Garden State, one agency in Trenton already issues locally-recognized identification cards to illegal immigrants. Later this week, that agency will do the same for Princeton. The program has both critics and supporters. According to Jan Ting, a professor at Temple's Beasley School of Law, "The reason Trenton is issuing this ID card is because they want to be immigrant friendly regardless of whether people have legal papers or not. That is their goal. And they're going to achieve that goal in that they're going to attract more people to come to the United States even if they don't have documentation."
