 In
the continuing effort to legitimize and condone illegal
immigration various interests including commercial banks,
race-biased illegal alien 'rights' groups, and governmental
bodies are promoting acceptance of Illegal Alien ID Cards.
The 'Matricula Consular' has been heavily promoted by the
Mexican government and special interest groups. Cards from
numerous other countries have been initiated as well.
Identification of
illegal aliens through the use of such cards would be beneficial
if and only if illegal alien bearers of the cards are deported
per the law. However, assuming deportation is unlikely,
acceptance of such cards should be stridently opposed by
patriotic Americans. The faults of the cards are many,
including aiding and abetting illegal immigration, national
security, and contradiction of federal law by lower levels of
government.
U.S. Congressman
Tom Tancredo, an outspoken critic of illegal immigration, said,
"The only people who benefit from having such an ID are those who
have come illegally and have broken our laws." In a June 12, 2003
letter to Secretary Powell, he stated, "... using their consular
offices here as lobbying agents to help undermine our immigration
laws is an outrage and the State Department's apparent
acquiescence in this endeavor is even more incredible... If you
do not take steps to halt our cooperation and support of this
practice, our country will see a virtual tidal wave of such cards
issued to illegal alien by their embassies and consulates in the
U.S."
