Mexican
ID Cards
ISSUE:
Since they haven't been able to get amnesty for illegal aliens
(yet), the Mexican government is trying a new tactic: give them
Mexican I.D. cards, and get the U.S. to accept those cards as
"proper identification" in order to receive social
services and related privileges usually reserved for legal
citizens.
And now, ultra-liberal U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA) has endorsed a pilot program allowing a federal building
in San Francisco to accept the Matricula Consular (identification
cards issued by the Mexican Consulate) as a legitimate form of
identification for visitors.
That's right: I.D. cards for illegal immigrants.
According to recent newspaper accounts, Rep. Pelosi supports a
plan to make the Phillip Burton Federal Building in San Francisco
a much more unsafe facility by allowing illegal aliens entrance
to the building after showing an identity card provided by a
foreign government. These cards are being distributed by Mexican
Consular officials throughout the United States in the hope that
cities and states will accept them as proper I.D. One man
arrested in California was carrying three cards with different
names.
The Phillip Burton Federal Building in San Francisco is the first
of its type in the country to accept Mexican Consulate
identification cards. The building began accepting the cards on
Wednesday, January 8, 2003, as part of a four-month trial
program, which will mainly serve illegal immigrants who are
ineligible for U.S. identification.
What happens if the "trial program" is
"successful"? You got it -- this program will be
forcibly instituted in government buildings throughout the United
States, giving supporters of amnesty for illegal immigrants more
firepower to push their agenda through.
This MUST be stopped.
ACTION ITEM: U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO),
chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, is
outraged, and for good reason. "It is extremely
disconcerting to see agents of a foreign country actively trying
to lobby American elected officials to aid and abet lawbreakers,
but it is even more infuriating when cities and members of
Congress become co-conspirators," said Tancredo.
According to the Washington Times, "cardholders are widely
recognized to be in the United States illegally" because
they otherwise would be able to obtain state-issued cards, such
as driver's licenses. "Even New York State and New York
City, believe it or not, have decided to not accept the Matricula
Consular cards because of the dangerous situation that puts
people in," Rep. Tancredo said.
We need to make sure this doesn't spread and lead to a successful
push for "amnesty" for illegal immigrants. Legislation
is being prepared by Rep. Tancredo right now that will put a STOP
to Rep. Pelosi's liberal nonsense -- and conservatives across the
nation need to demand that Congress pass that legislation
