I could be wrong but I think the Constitution is pretty clear on the idea that states have little or no role in diplomacy with foreign governments. That’s not to say that a consulate in Oklahoma City is a good idea, just that a state’s governor doesn’t get to make the call.

Don’t do it. Many of them have been looking for some loophole somewhere just to get things going. Give ‘em an inch, they take 100,000 miles. Not a joke.

We had a Mexican Consulate here in Anchorage Ak.

Closed for “budgetary reasons”

Not enough (illegals) to keep it pen...

Already one in San Antonio, been there for years.

They’re all over the US and full of activist lawyers as well.

If it comes under the State Department's Office of Foreign Missions, it would join such facilities in Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Miami, Houston, and Chicago. I don't think just anyone can place a consulate just anywhere. Somebody school me if that's wrong.

[shrug] I figure the Mexicans own our entire Southwest, so they can do whatever they want.

Change my mind.

Well at least okie illegals will have access to their Matrícula Consular cards without relying on a swap meet. Nothing more reliable than a foreign ID card with a US address.
