Testimony of Steve McCraw, Assistant Director of The Office of Intelligence, FBI, before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims, June 26, 2003
"I have said that Mexico does not stop at its border, that wherever there is a Mexican, there is Mexico" - Mexican president Felipe Caldron in a September 2, 2007 address to the Mexican nation.
If you drive by the Mexican Consulate in Atlanta on any given day, it is likely that you could view a line of illegal aliens waiting outside for their turn to buy an ID card called a "Matricula Consular."
Few readers have heard about the Mexican photo ID. Even fewer know that the Mexican government also has permanent mobile consulates that travel the Southeast - and the nation - dispensing the driver's license-sized ID cards. Or that the only people who are in need of one of these little "stealth amnesty" cards are illegal aliens.
Anyone who has entered the nation lawfully will have easy access to secure and verifiable U.S. issued ID - like a passport and a valid visa.
The Mexican government fearlessly admits the Matricula Consular ID is issued regardless of immigration status. The respected Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies reports that the objective of the Mexican government with the matriculas "is to achieve quasi-legal status for Mexican illegals in the United States without waiting for action from Washington" and is "a direct challenge to U.S. sovereignty."

How many more reasons do we need to seal the border and post armed national guardsmen around the entire perimeter with shoot to kill orders?
