Arkansas Consulate Issues Matricula Cards, Banks Continue to Accept Them

"[Arkansas' Mexican consulate] reports that the greatest demand is for the identification card, called the matricula consular in Spanish and issued by the Mexican government since 1871. The card represents more than half of all documents issued . . . A dispute has erupted over the use of the card in acquiring an American driver's license. The state of Arkansas does not accept foreign documents other than passports when issuing driver's licenses. Foreign passports must be accompanied by an Immigration and Naturalization Services card or a U.S. visa," the Arkansas Democrat Gazette reports.

"It's unconscionable for U.S. banks to identify an illegal population as a group of potential customers, and to some extent we don't really know the depth of it that may very well be part of the problem with our subprime mortgage crisis and credit crisis," [FAIR spokesman] Dane said. "There are times where identification theft, financial meltdown and risk of terrorism ought to really supersede the acceptance of these Mexican governmentissued ID cards."

Duhhhhhhhhhh!

I may not be smarter than a fifth grader but I'll be then even one of the kids on that show could tell you it is stupid to have a foreign government issue a card and automatically have it accepted by a U.S. troubled bank. . . let alone use it to qualify for a home loan.

"WE THE PEOPLE" STILL DO HAVE A CONSTITUTION

Is just the open border nuts like to ignore it by making government bailouts to illegal alien overpopulation. Both the bank bailouts and the illegal aliens are prohibited by Constitutional laws.

See the proof:

THIS GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER LEARN. COME ANOTHER 9/11, AND THIS WON'T BE BY PLANES, THIS WILL BE BY ''WALKING OVER THE BORDER'' AND USING MEXICAN CARDS. THE GANGS HAVE IT ALL DOWN PAT, THE TAKE OVER OF AMERICA,
ALL WITH THE HELP OF ''OUR GOVERNMENT'' AS THEY WON'T DO WHAT IS RIGHT. CLOSE THE BORDER, SEND THEM ''ALL'' HOME.

Well, our banks certainly showed sterling judgement in extending all the 30 to 1 leveraged sub-prime loans that wrecked the financial markets.

Why should we expect them to be any more competent about providing bank accounts to illegal aliens?

What to they care ... if they screw up, the liberals in the government will bail them out with our taxes.
