Businesses and cities that accept identification cards issued by Mexico to its citizens in the United States do so at their own risk because the documents are not fraud-proof, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Wednesday.
The Mexican IDs are under review by a White House-led panel to determine if they pose a security risk and whether the cards should be accepted as proper identification.

'bout damn time someone uses a brain cell in the DOHS. I usually do not want more laws, but I wish the 'guberment passes a nice "do not use other countries bogus documents" as legal identificalion law sometime soon.

Ridge is an idiot!
Our country has been over run by *MILLIONS* that have entered our country illegally since the 911 terrorist attack. It's a NATIONWIDE invasion reaching from Arizona, to Cal to Georgia, to Indiana, to Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Florida, etc etc.....It's completely choking off our system and creating epic fraud!
All this while Ridge and Bush stand in stone f-ing silence, winking and nodding while all the politicos are pandering to these criminals.
To: Brian S
What did it take, just two or three years for this to hit his rader screen? I'm not even Homeland Defense Secretary and I know about this years ago.
I hope we're not keeping him awake...
To: VU4G10
He'll have a statement on that around February of 2005. He's a busy fella. This is a complex issue. LOL
To: runningbear
Does the federal government have the right to overturn a law passed by a state? One could argue (as several here have, and I do as well) that giving drivers licenses to illegals is a national security threat.

But anti-immigrant groups say the cards invite illegal immigration "Anti-immigrant"? Huh? What an idiot. How about "anti-ILLEGAL-immigrant"? How about there are a lot of us who consider ILLEGAL activities wrong? Man....

This is really amazing. Ridge must have dropped his crayolas and spent a little time contemplating other things. Now if he would consider the terror risk involved in millions crossing our borders without authorization and surveillance.

If the INS was run like the BATF, every illegal alien in America would be arrested, deported or shot in a month.If the ATF was run like the INS, you could fire unregistered howitzers and machine guns from your back yard, no problem.
(I just want a list of the laws that "really count" and a list of the laws that "don't really count" that I can ignore.
Is that too much to ask??

Agreed. They just can't bring themselves to say it in English. "ILLEGAL!"

In other words .. Wake up States .. cause the Government may not always bail your butts out of the hot water.

Don't hold your breath his boss Vincente is burning up the phone lines if he thinks Ridge has slipped his leash.
