The Mexican government has issued more than 800,000 slick, pocket-sized identification cards to both legal and illegal immigrants.

I have never seen a legal immigrant with on of these cards and I suspect I never will as all legal immigrants already have legal identification issued by the US government.

These cards are manufactured for and used by the illegal alien population that does not have a way to identify themselves.

The whole "Matricula Consular Card" system is a scam perpetuated by the Mexican Government to help the illegal alien population inside the United States.

I know, it ticks me off!! Thank you much for your comments. I appreciate your first-hand knowledge that you bring to all of these threads and your experience as a Marine and your INS duties that can shed needed light to all of these issues. Thanks again.

MI: You are in the know, so I ask you: Would the application of asset forfeiture laws to those businesses that employ illegal aliens be a possible and effective tool in slowing illegal invasion? It seems that employers are profiting from their engagement in known illegal activity, just as a drug dealer is, so why would it not be appropriate to apply similar asset forfeiture regulations against them? Similarly, the seizure of assets of the illegal alien would seem appropriate as well (before deporting them.)

Of course, I know this is not likely to happen. But it would stem the invasion flow overnight by reducing the demand, as well as the inclination of illegals to break our laws if they know they stand to lose everything by being here illegally.

My Congressman, Doc Hastings WA. 4th District, was not very happy about this and the fact that Nancy Pelosi endorses them, after I had a sit down and informed him of this last week.
