Mexico opens California office to provide ID for illegals | Washington Examiner

'The Mexican government is opening a satellite consular office on Catalina Island -- a small resort off the California coast with a history of drug smuggling and human trafficking -- to provide the island's illegal Mexican immigrants with identification cards, The Washington Examiner has learned...

"The Mexican consular office in Los Angeles issued a flier, a copy of which was obtained by The Examiner, listing the Catalina Island Country Club as the location of its satellite office. It invites Mexicans to visit the office to obtain the identification, called matricular cards, by appointment."

"Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican whose district includes Catalina Island, said handing out matricular cards will exacerbate an already dangerous situation."

"Handing out matricular cards to Mexicans who are not in this country legally is wrong no matter where it's done," he said. "But on Catalina it will do more damage. It's a small island but there's evidence it's being used as a portal for illegals to access mainland California...
"Mexican officials with the consular office in Los Angeles could not be reached immediately for comment. The matricular consular identification card, is issued by the Mexican government to Mexican nationals residing outside the country, regardless of immigration status. The purpose is to provide identification for opening bank accounts and obtaining other services. But the cards are usually used to skirt U.S. immigration laws, since Mexicans in the country legally have documents proving that status, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said."
( Fake Matricular cards would be as easy to produce as fake green cards. LA likely has a 1000 phony doc mills in operation as we speak).

"In 2004 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI officials called the card an unreliable form of identification. The agency said that Mexico lacks a centralized database for them, which could lead to forgery, duplication, and other forms of abuse...officers with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said their agency was asked by Mexican officials not to enforce U.S. immigration laws on the island while the cards were being issued."

"It amazes me every time that the Mexican government has the gall to tell us what to do," said an ICE official, who asked not to be named. "More surprisingly is how many times we stand by and let them. This is just an example of one of hundreds of requests we've had to deal with...the island has a sizable Mexican migrant population. Most are undocumented low-income workers.

(Mex gov has the gall!! Not surprising at all as all the CA politician/hacks from the governor on down to the lowest pothouse city council member of LA, El Monte, Maywood or whatnot bends over and takes it in the rear for Mexico and it's illegal-alien foreign nationals/invaders. Mexico actually for all intents and purposes runs LA Region, a fact hard to digest but nonetheless true.)


Final note: Catalina Island was once a popular tourist destination and charming island resort for Southern Californian locals. No more. It has become as infested with illegal alien- spawned gangs as any inner LA ghettoized hood, and there was once an attack by the local gangbangers upon a group of female student visitors, who were set upon with thrown beer bottles. I live near long beach harbor, which has the Catalina express plying the 22 mile channel to and from Catalina daily, but i will not go there.
