Thread: New ID law in Arizona stirs worries for immigrants

These cards are not an acceptable ID in Mexico. That should say something eh? If they are so secure why is that? Hmmmm.....

Seems the banks have the most to gain from these cards. Follow the money....

Another disingenuous use of the term "immigrant" by the media.

This is good news though right? One more for the citizens of Arizona! The front lines!

Arizona has a great team of people enacting laws to keep citizens safe, and the State are blessed to have a wonderful Governor like Brewer.

Immigrant-advocacy groups worry the new law will leave some immigrants without a form of identification and further dissuade them from reporting crimes to law enforcement.

This is one of the lies of the sanctuary city propaganda. Illegals do not report crimes to law enforcement unless it effects them. They could care less about crimes committed against our country or our citizens. What I saw when I lived in Arizona was a harboring of their fellow countrymen who had committed a crime.

I'm a retired California Peace Officer (Sgt). these people can buy almost any form of ID om most street corners in large cities. This is a majopr reason why the county's mortgage industry went down the toilet. thousands of illegals being given loans on new houses the bank knew they couldn't afford, defaulted on with us ! the citizens of this nation to pay for the "Stimlus" for these banks, mortgage companies and their executives, while the tax payers take it in the rear end again !

sned em all back to their countries of orgin ASAP while we still have an economy

The Mexican Matricula Consular ID card is an ID card issued to Mexican foreign nationals in the United States. The matricula consular is useful in the United States only for illegal aliens, because legal immigrants by definition have legal U.S. government-issued documents.

After 9/11, the Mexican Government realized that they could not gain another U.S. amnesty for illegal aliens. Instead, they launched a lobbying campaign to gain acceptance of the ID at state and local levels and from U.S. banks.

U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo said, "The only people who benefit from having such an ID are those who have come illegally and have broken our laws." This ID card is essentially a back door attempt at a stealth amnesty and a direct challenge to the jurisdiction of Congress over U.S. immigration policy. Roberto Rodriguez Hernandez, director of the Mexican card program was quoted as saying "It's necessary to push the need for an amnesty at all levels."

The matricula card is not a secure document (the Matricula Cards on this page are of American citizens). Mexico does not authenticate documents used to obtain the ID against computerized data files in Mexico. No major bank in Mexico accepts the card to open an account and the cards are recognized as IDs in only 10 of Mexico's 32 states and districts.

Now, Guatemala, Honduras, Poland, Peru and El Salvador, aware of Mexico's success, have begun or are considering issuing cards of their own.

City liability insurance companies almost certainly won't cover liability associated with accepting such a card, since it is a violation of Federal law to accept the card. So if a city accepts the card and a citizen is injured by an illegal alien, the citizen could likely sue individual city council members for their personal assets and life savings.

Specifically, a state or local government official or employee who provides any benefit or service to such a presenter possesses the criminal intent (mens rea) necessary for a felony indictment under Section 274 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which provides criminal penalties for any act that "encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law."

The LAST PARAGRAPH IS INTERESTING!

Gould said... if the Mexican government wants to provide a secure form of identification for its citizens living in the U.S., it can do so with a passport.

Exactly! Illegals don't want a passport because that would prove they are in the country illegally.

In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a migration deal with Mexico was tabled while attention turned to homeland security. So the Mexican government abruptly changed its White House strategy and substituted a grass-roots approach that would focus at the local level, seek small successes, and build momentum for congressional action. The linchpin for this new strategy was to be the “matricula consular,â€
