Thread: IL: public school invites MEx. Consulate for Matricula Fair

HELP PUT A STOP TO THE USE OF U.S. PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TAXPAYER FUNDED PROPERTIES BY THE MEXICAN CONSULATES IN PROVIDING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IN ADDITION, PLEASE SHARE THE FOLLOWING WITH EVERYONE ON YOUR EMAIL LIST ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES:


As we are all aware, no individual legally present in the United States has need of a Matricula card. Every Mexican legally present in the United States has identification of one sort or another (Visa, passport, green card, etc.) which he/she is required to carry on their person at all times. The Mexican government has made it known in the past that they are not concerned with the legality of the presence of their citizens; they will give out Matricula cards whether they are here legally or not.

It's outrageous that any School Board would allow a foreign government to use public property in this manner. We ask that you send a letter, fax, email, or phone each Board Member and the Superintendent and let them know your feelings on this matter.

Alderman's father pleads guilty in fake ID case
Associated Press
Published: 7/8/2008 3:09 PM

A Chicago alderman's father pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges that he conspired to make fake IDs at a photo shop in the city's heavily Mexican-American Little Village neighborhood.

Elias Munoz, 63, acknowledged at a hearing before U.S. District Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer that he knew the photos he took would be used in the manufacture of fake drivers licenses and state and federal ID papers.

"Why?" Pallmeyer asked.

"Well, that was the business," Munoz, a native of Mexico, said simply, speaking through a translator.

Munoz, the father of Chicago Alderman Ricardo Munoz, faces a maximum sentence of five years and a $250,000 fine. But the actual punishment is likely to be considerably lighter. Sentencing is set for Sept. 24.

The alderman was not on hand for the plea.

The elder Munoz left the courthouse declining to comment.

"We don't want to say anything," said defense attorney Steven Shobat.

Shobat did tell the judge that while his client is guilty of the charge, the defense believes prosecutors overstated the specifics of the case in order to influence whatever sentence Pallmeyer imposes.

A federal spokesman, Randall Samborn, declined to comment.

Munoz was among 22 individuals swept up in May 2007 when federal agents launched a crackdown on bogus document making in Little Village.

Does anyone believe they alderman didn't know his father was doing this?????
