well, it looks as if the way Bush wants to help you folks is to make it easier for them to enter legally so they don't have to hire polleros. They can use their pollero fee to buy false documents that will get them through their screening at the consulates.
Good point. Any blanket exemption would render all cards meaningless. And face it, you and I can duplicate just about any card on the computers in front of us. I've actually done it, but had to mess them up to look authentic. Email me -- jackelopebreeder@hotmail.com -- and I'll send you a matricula consulares in the name of your choice that will pass muster in any of the misguided locales here in the States that decided to accept them. Just for fun I issued matriculas to both of my dogs.
Locally, most of the legal border crossers are well known to the agents at the Ports of Entry. Take my friend Hector as an example. He crosses three of four times every week. I even set up his daughter's wedding reception here on this side of the border.
But then Luis from Xoahaca shows up at the POE and wants to be just waved through...with the bed of his truck just a whisker away from erasing the tread from his tires. Hmmm. I personally would subject him to fingerprints, retinal scan, DNA testing and a body cavity search. Sorry, Luis, but we ran out of KY...take a deep breath and try to relax.
