From Richmond to offer ID cards to immigrants:

In Richmond, City Manager David Evans said the cards will be used for identification purposes only and should help immigrants more easily perform tasks most citizens take for granted, such as cashing a check or properly identifying themselves to authorities.

"I think it would be more of a help than anything else," he said. "I think it will be an asset for everybody."

Unfortunately, due to political corruption, there's probably little chance that he needs to be concerned with this. But, there is a small chance, and we can only hope.
