Edgar Paredes of Vero Beach used his "matricula consular" identification card last month to visit Mexico.

"But I tried to use it at Bombay Louie's (a bar in Vero) and they wouldn't take it," he said.

"I'd heard about it since I lived in California," Cueva Tinoco said in Spanish.

"Mexican ID cards under fire"

Mexican ID cards should be IN the fire! Incredible that we Americans have to be bothered with that nonsense.

Waslin said Mexicans without identification must hide. "They are living in the shadows."

No one has to hide if they are here legally.

Its hard.

But I know a place they can go where there's no more running, no more hiding. Where an illegal immigrant can be free to be himself. (cue the mariachis)

Perhaps Waslin could also explain how individuals living illegally in Mexico without ID are treated?

There are a lot of factual errors in this article. My favorite is "They're not taking jobs from Americans. Nobody wants to do those jobs"
Tell that to the unemployed.

Those opposed to the card's use, Mainster said, ignore the many illegal Mexicans providing needed services.

Like this one?.....

Suspect arrested in child-sex case

Eliseo Lopez, accused of being a sexual predator, began grooming his victim four years ago when the 8-year-old girl was walking to school in Mexico, according to police.

The Mexican national showered her with attention and gifts, police said, and even moved across the border to continue their secret relationship after she moved to Mesa. Last fall he drove her to Wichita, Kan., where the girl, now 12, was found alone in a hotel room several days after her parents reported her missing.

Finally, on Thursday, Mesa police caught up with Lopez, 27. While investigating an unrelated case, they found the girl in a Mesa hotel and caught Lopez fleeing from the room.

The girl told police she has had consensual sexual conduct with Lopez at least 20 times since she was 9 years old. Read more.....

"They're cleaning our hotels and grooming our golf courses and lawns, picking our vegetables and fruit. They're not taking jobs from Americans. Nobody wants to do those jobs," she said.

Nobody wants those jobs because these vile illegal alien leeches have driven wages into the ground. Who did these jobs before the horde snuck in?

She said undocumented Mexicans pay taxes, but do not receive welfare or food stamps.

She's a liar. Most of them don't earn enough to make a dent in the tabs the leeches run up. Many who do file actally get earned tax credit refunds in excess of what they've paid in.

Mainster and Jesse Zermeno, president of Operation Hope, support the card's use for Florida driver's licenses.

He's an idiot who has no regard for national security.

"Isn't it better to have drivers who are properly licensed and insured?" she asked.

Actually it's better to have no illegal aliens at all. Period. They need to be rounded up like cattle and repatriated. The border needs to be militarized. The crap these loony lefty open-border America-hating scumbags continue to spew in order to justify the presence of millions of Mexican illegals here is nothing short of astounding.

Not exactly.... they're not considered valid ID down there by banks, anyway. See... even the Mexicans are bright enough to know how bad the bogus IDs are. I'm beginning to believe that the people running America are teetering on the brink of brain death.

I never thought it would come to this in America - our own government allowing an invasion of our country without firing a shot, and forcing Americans to pay for it. Mexico is being forcibly shoved down our throats while our "leaders" turn their backs like cowards.

As if it's not bad enough we Americans have to fight an invasion of a million people a year, but we also have to fight our so-called "leaders," who not only allow, but encourage this invasion, then slap us in the face again by telling us we should like it!

I, too, never thought it would come to this.
