GOVERNOR PETE WILSON
September 9, 1993
FILE: Immigration
The President
The While House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
On August 9, 1993, I wrote you on behalf of the people of
California to urge your support of comprehensive steps to reduce
incentives for illegal immigration and reduce the cost of
providing welfare and other public assistance to illegal
immigrants.
I am encouraged by supportive comments from members of your
Cabinet, especially Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry
Cisneros, who have recognized that the lure of government benefits
-- in his words -- "serve as a magnet attracting people here from
other countries."
I am also encouraged by recent newspaper reports that your
Administration is considering establislment of a tamper-proof
identification card. As you are aware, various forms of
identification cards and verification systems Have been under
debate in the Congress for many years and any number of proposals
have been advanced or reviewed by federal agencies.
In my August 9 letter to you, I urged you to ask Congress to
create a legal resident eligibility card that would be required as
proof of eligibility for all legal residents who seek government
benefits. I am writing today to ask you to direct your
Administration immediately to begin the design and implementation
of a tamper-proof identification card to be presented as proof of
legal residency and eligibility for employment, and for benefits
requiring legal residency) and that you designate California as
the LESL state in = pilot project, Lesting the use of the card for
such purposes.
