Illegal Immigration: When I.D. Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Identification

“In many parts of the United States the Mexican Consulate Offices have set up traveling posts to distribute the Matricula Consular “I.D.” cards. At least 47 of the consulate offices exist in the U.S. and have issued several million of the cards. A Mexican birth certificate (not legally recognized as I.D. here) and thirty dollars is all it takes to get a card. Since there are an estimated twelve million to twenty million (Bear Stearns last estimate) illegal aliens in the U.S., it would seem to be a lucrative income producing endeavor for the consulates. However, the Mexican government is not the only one making money from them.

The cards are easy to get. Fake I.D. is often used to get them. D.A. King, activist in Georgia, says he has three of them himself, though he is not Hispanic and does not even look Hispanic. There are millions using them to get drivers’ licenses, welfare benefits, sign up to vote, do banking, and transmit $20 Billion dollars a year back to Mexico to support that economy instead of our own. Companies such as Wells Fargo and Western Union have been counting these millions of customers with satisfaction, seeming to care only about their bottom lines. Some of the lending institutions, sensing a large market, have arranged for loans for the illegal aliens, even using our government backed institutions.”
