Mexico Lobbies Banks
Some Mexican illegals view a banking relationship as the most important tangible value of the matricula consular. For those who work off the books, it provides peace of mind to know they no longer are easy marks for thieves who prey on people who fear going to the police. For others, it makes cashing paychecks easier. Not only does it reduce the cost of sending money to their homes in Mexico, it provides these families with an ATM card, so they can withdraw only enough cash to meet their needs and keep the rest secure in a bank.

At first blush it seems almost impossible to believe that some of the largest and most prestigious banks in the country are knowingly offering accounts to Mexican illegal aliens. The reasons are complicated and encompass outreach to assist a minority community, perceived profits to be made from accessing a fast-growing new market, and even a way to increase the dollars remitted to Mexico, in the expectation that some will be allocated to economic development projects. But the most important reason is that neither banking regulators nor the U.S. Treasury Department have objected to opening banking accounts for Mexican illegals who use the matricula as their identification. In fact, a good case can be made that regulators and the Treasury Department have tacitly encouraged banks to do so.

[u][i][b]The irony is that Mexican banks do not hold the matricula in high regard as an identity document. No major bank headquarters in Mexico lists the “matricula consularâ€

I live here and it's bad enough that they give them fake drivers licenses here. You can't find a job and every where you turn there are illegal immigrants. I'm so sick of this mess. Our leaders need to be charged with crimes.

so if we let Mexicans use their own ID, then why not other countries??? since when is a Mexican ID the "preferred" document? funny because I needed to get a green card to come here (yes by marriage); I needed to go through the song and dance routine of finger printing, passport pictures (and not just any pass port picture, no it had to be exactly immigration dimensions down to a 10th of an inch!!) and waiting in line, feeling like a criminal; then again over 20 years later when I needed to take care of my father: in order to have legal I took citizenship; the proceedings take longer than my father lived!
I am a legal immigrant and legal US citizen: I went through almost hell and back to get this and now our politicians want to make the process easier??
EXCUSE ME, but are we who do it legally idiots????

Just deport all illegal aliens now.

Viva la reconquista , one town at a time

Soon the whole country will be ours amigos

Des stupid gringos give us everything for free , soon we will convince them to cut their own throats for us.

Actually it does. A person here legally has no need for the card, since they can produce a green card, passport or visa.

That pretty much debunks the whole thing.

In Houston many of the school districts have a VIPS program. This is called volunteers in Public Schools. It is set up to give parental volunteers/adults FBI background checks. Well guess what forms of ID they accept? How safe can this really be?
