New ID's for illegals..

The new Id's being handed out by the Mexican Embasy are obviously being issued to raise money for the Mexican Government.
But, was is more disturbing is the fact that these ID's are being accepted by Banks, State Departments of Motor Vehicles, and other federal and state agencies as not only a means of obtaining services that where never available to the undocumented, but as a means of identififying illegals, who can produce these with no corrobarating evidence that they are who they claim to be, such as a passport or birth certificate.
At a time when our own federal government is issuing new ID's, which are harder to duplicate to legal immigrants, the news is reporting that police agencies are accepting the "Matricular ID's" from anyone who presents them for identification
Since the US government has no way of knowning if these where legally obatined, or identify the correct individual, why in the world would banks and other intitutions accept these as legal instruments for identification purpose?
Given the terrorist problems this country is facing here and abroad, it is not in the best interest of our national security to simply accept foreign ID's and give illegals, some legal recognition.
To do so, is to envite disaster; and would undermine the need and work of the Federal Governments duty to secure our borders.
And I can't see it helping the States who have these institutions who are so willing to make banking services available to illegals, this policy will encourage illegals to be bolder and seek more public assistance with their new ID's.

immigration mess squared away and goes back to the quota system.
This includes student visas, green cards and the whole ball of wax.
Why should this great country live in fear of so called immigrants
while under a "yellow" terror alert as we have.
Now imaging the students, when finishing school, returning back home (if they ever leave) and leaving the bansk holding the bag on the student loans,
Who do you suppose will obsorbe these losses of unpaid student loans, the same people who are providing for and educating these people.
You got it, the American Taxpayor.
Duhh.
