NEW HAVEN, Connecticut -- The controversy surrounding New Haven's decision to create a city identification card for illegal immigrants drew more than 500 people to parades and rallies Saturday, with rain-soaked card supporters marching through the streets of New Haven while angry opponents plotted their legal and political strategy in neighboring East Haven.
The afternoon parade was a loud, party-like gathering of about 350 families, preachers and labor union members that ended up inside New Haven City Hall, while the evening program organized by a local immigration control group drew about 75 people to the basement of a neighborhood American Legion hall.
