I had no idea that there were so many mexican consulates in the US.

The one in Idaho would be number 48 (if it goes through) and the one in Alaska 49. In addition to the consulate buildings they have mobile consulates so they can travel anywhere.

Salt Lake City has at least 1 mobile consulate and Chicago has at least two.

More ammo:

President Felipe Calderon blasted U.S. immigration policies on Sunday and promised to fight harder to protect the rights of Mexicans in the U.S., saying "Mexico does not end at its borders."

"We strongly protest the unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government that have only persecuted and exacerbated the mistreatment of Mexican undocumented workers," he said. "The insensitivity toward those who support the U.S. economy and society has only served as an impetus to reinforce the battle ... for their rights."

He also reached out to the millions of Mexicans living in the United States, many illegally, saying: "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico."

This Mexican newspaper reveals more details about Calderon's exhortation to its ambassador and consuls in the US in the matter of interfering in our internal affairs. A government that cries "US interference" when our Ambassador warns US tourists about certain dangerous areas in Mexico.....
their hypocrisy knows no bounds and, worst of all, BUSH remains silent, afraid to defend AMERICA'S honor and sovereignty...

Calderon instructs his troops in the US as follows in the matter of influencing the debate on immigration: (acts that are considered illegal if done in Mexico by foreign entities):
1) Give precise arguments
2) Participate in public debates
3) Approach all communication media
4) Speak to NGOs (NonGovernmental Orgs)
5) Coordinate (unify) the discussion
6) Defend Mexico and its government
7) Use the US government's own studies and evaluations to defend the role that Mexican immigrants play in the US

They refer specifically to the studies of the Council of Economic Advisors which justifies the contribution made by Mexican workers to the US economy..

"When in Mexico the U.S. State Department reminds U.S. citizens to avoid participating in demonstrations and other activities that might be deemed political by Mexican authorities. The Mexican Constitution prohibits political activities by foreigners, and such actions may result in detention and/or deportation."

I think it's important to find out who has the petition and who was petitioned.

"MyAmerica" This is what I am trying to find out.....

Does anyone no who they turn the petition over to and who checks to make sure they are registered voters?

I hope you have video EX OC put it on YouTube.

I have given him so much info -- he is going to follow this up.

YES!! GOD BLESS THE GOOD CITIZENS OF IDAHO!!!!

EX_OC that is great news I am so excited for you and us!!

Try to bring up the fact that the citizens of Idaho have not been informed and who were the signatories, gathered by activists with ties to the Mexican government, presented to the state department. Were they legal or illegal?
Mexican consulate in Boise pushed by Mexico-linked activists

The Mexican government has apparently applied to the U.S. State Department to open a new consulate in Boise, Idaho, and they might have already rented office space. This followed a petition drive which garnered 10,000 signatures in support of the new consulate.

At least two of those pushing the scheme have links to the Mexican government.

The first mentioned in the article is Lucio Prado of Boise. He has a radio show () and has or had some involvement with an Acapulco restaurant. He also serves on the board of the Catholic Charities of Idaho (http://www.catholicidaho.org/cci_page.cfm). And, from this: http://www.unido.com/archive/v10e11/titulares.php
Quote:
SALT LAKE CITY-- The Local Council of Mexicans Abroad West of the Rockies was formed on September 17 in Salt Lake City. The Council is part of the Mexican Consulate. The formation of the council was attended by 45 advisors or community leader from the four states that are covered by the Mexican Consulate - Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. Representing Idaho were Lucio Prado, Juan Jose Mena and Juanita Gonzalez of Boise, Rafael Ortiz of Nampa and Esperanza Taylor of Caldwell.

Gonzalez is also noted as one of those involved in the petition drive. There's local opposition from Republican Congressmen Bill Sali and possibly Mike Simpson, but it might not be enough.

OK! TV INTERVIEW IS OVER.

It is coming out in the news tonite at 6, Mountain Time, Channel 7, KTVB (not a network channel -- just Idaho). Jonie Schriver, reporter.

They were looking for 2 viewpoints: con vs pro of a Mexican consulate in Boise

They said they got a "pro" already. Some restaurant owner of a Mexican restaurant here (go figure).

I was their "con."

I talked to them about:
1) matricula consular (MC) card - the only ones that need them are illegal aliens, coz if you were legal, you can simply go to the DMV and get an ID or DLs
2) with an ITIN which you can get from the IRS and a MC card, you can get a job!! Which takes away a job from an Idahoan.
3) What is the idea behind a matricula card? Hypothetically, if you were visiting a foreign country and you lost your passport, you go to your consulate and they will issue you another passport, NOT SOME GOVT ID that looks like a DL. Why does the Mexican consulate issue matricula cards instead of passports then?
I also told them that, as an exercise, some people called MEXICAN BANKS AND ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT WITH A MC. THE MEXICANS BANKS SAID NO. So, if even Mexican banks don't accept this as an official ID card, why are Mexican consulates issuing them here? Does this make sense??
4) I TOLD THEM ABOUT PRES. CALDERON'S "ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY" and his plans of forming ADLs (Anti-Defamation Leagues) and staffing his Mexican consulates here with Mexican lawyers who are going to "defend the rights of migrants" IN OUR COURTS. Who is going to pay for the defense these lawsuits? US? Idahoan taxpayers?

Then they asked me how I got involved in this issue. I told them my story, blah blah blah....(not important right now for us Alipacers)...

Then they asked me if I was part of a group. THAT'S WHEN I BROUGHT ALIPAC UP!! I gave them our website!! I told them we are for LEGAL immigration, not illegal immigration. They said they will post our web address on the report!!! YES!!! Maybe we will get more Idahoans for our cause.

Then they asked me if they thought a Mexican consulate here in Boise will bring more illegals here. I answered: "DEFINITELY! They will go where they have support."

I have to go now. Have an impt phone call (personal)
