Permit to issue Mexican ID cards revoked

The Mexican Consulate’s trip to Lafayette this weekend to issue a controversial identification card to Mexican nationals may not happen because local officials have revoked the consulate’s permit to operate in a Lafayette government facility.

City Parish-President Joey Durel along with U.S. Senator David Vitter, R-Metairie, announced Thursday that the city was revoking the consulate’s permit, which would have allowed them to operate out of the Clifton Chenier Center this Saturday and Sunday. The consulate planned to issue matricula consular identification cards, a non-U.S. issued form of ID for Mexican nationals.

The card however has come under fire locally and nationally because the consulate doesn’t necessarily verify immigration status before it issues the card, so any Mexican national, whether they are in the U.S. legally or illegally, can get one.
“If there’s any possibility of aiding illegal aliens on city-parish property, that’s not something we want to be a part of,â€

Officials with the Mexican Consulate’s office in Houston said they aren’t sure if they will postpone the trip to Lafayette entirely or not

This is the Beeeep... Im talking about

They were told no
but they are still not sure
sounds like about 30 million others we hear about daily

Lolita Parkinson, media specialist with the consulate, said Thursday evening that her office is still trying to find an alternate private location to house the mobile consulate.

Mobile Consulate? How is this allowed?

LAFAYETTE — City-Parish President Joey Durel has told the Consulate General of Mexico it cannot use a city-parish facility for a “mobile Mexican consulateâ€

I believe I read somewhere that these matricular cards are not accepted in Mexico, they are only to be used as ID OUTSIDE Mexico.

Do we really need 47 Mexican Consulates in the US? I would say definitely not.

You are right Miguelina, mexico doesn't even accept this card as any kind of official ID.

It's obvious to George "Vicente-Felipe" Bush that the marticula cards are a more important piece of paper than the CONSTITUTION.
