Advocates - like Bakari Tsandia - say this will help the citys African Diaspora community.

　　 Because if you are undocumented, a person with an expired national ID, you will not be able to have access to certain buildings, said Tsandia. You will not be able to open a bank account. You will not be able to have a regular life as a normal New Yorker.

　　Proponents argue that IDs are key to economic empowerment in other ways. Without a valid ID, many new immigrants who drive taxis cannot get their drivers licenses renewed.

　　Without identity papers, parents cannot enter their childrens schools for parent-teacher conferences. And advocates say children not born in the U.S. have another disadvantage.

　　Bronx community leader Abrourazakou Bowa took a group of high schoolers to an event where IDs were examined at the door.

　　The youth who were born here were able to enter. But those who came without any ID, we left them outside. Because of the ID. I was so sad about those two youths, said Bowa.

　　Not everyone at the rally was in favor of reform. Peter Katalenas of New Yorkers for Immigration Control and Enforcement, has little sympathy for undocumented immigrants of any age.

　　We believe anybody who comes to this country without permission shouldnt be here and shouldnt stay here. I wouldnt want somebody to come to my house and live here with without my permission.
