Oh God, Tiny, are maliengus, brt929, and siagon there? They are a pack of wolves with zero manners and courtesy. They ruin all the forums with their hate.

I haven't seen these guys in the comment sections for a while. They probably got booted.

More Mexican Consulate meddling.....in Green Bay , Wisconsin

Green Bay church hosting event to assist Mexican nationals

The Bayside Celebration Church and Hispanic Community Council of Northeast Wisconsin will host an event June 11 through 14 to assist Mexican nationals living in Wisconsin to apply for or renew consular identification cards or passports.

As part of the program, the Mexican Consulate offices in Chicago will help Mexican nationals during this process.

Processing will occur on a first-come, first-served basis at Bayside Celebration Church, 3475 Humboldt Road, Green Bay. No reservations are accepted.

Yeah, I noticed that, Ex_OC. But overall I think there are more against these consulates than for them.

Banks in Mexico..and other governmental institutions in Mexico DO NOT ACCEPT the Matricula Consular card as a form of identification for Mexican nationals in MEXICO. It is a worthless document invented to serve the illegal alien Mexicans living in the U.S. ...nothing more. Our spineless government won't put a stop to it. Shameful.

A spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington said that the cards are most helpful for documented and undocumented Mexican migrants who need bank accounts.

"They are able to put their money in a bank account," said embassy spokesman Ricardo Alday. "They're able to go about their life without carrying cash, and they're also able to send money back to Mexico."

Many Mexicans in Idaho now travel to Salt Lake City to obtain the cards.

Last week, Sali continued to press the issue. His office sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff asking whether his agency had concerns about the use of matricula cards.

Homeland Security does not accept the matricula consular as valid identification at the U.S. border when Mexican citizens seek entry, said the agency's spokeswoman, Veronica Valdes.

"It's not something that we really accept for official purposes," Valdes said.

The FBI has taken a stronger stance.

"From a FBI or Department of Justice perspective, we have concluded that these cards are not a reliable form of identification due to the nonexistent means of identifying the true identity of the cardholder," said FBI spokesman Bill Carter. "It's also vulnerable to fraud. They're vulnerable to forgery. Even the newest version can be easily replicated."

Bank of America sure got theirs....

Yes, DHS will not accept them but they want to force us into a national identification system. Americans have not been that dumbed down yet. Well at least most of us haven't.
