Secretary of Treasury Holds Key to Killing Matricula
Consular Cards

Battle
Rages in Washington
June 27, 2003 -- The battle over congressional
action to deal with phony IDs issued by the Mexican government
rages on, with the FBI and State Department coming down against
the Matricula
Consular cards. The only holdout seems to be Secretary of
the Treasury, John Snow. Critics say Snow is caving in to pressure
from U.S. Banks that want deposits from drug and people smugglers.
American Patrol is urging people to contact
Secretary Snow to tell him to reject the big money interests
and support the people of America.

There was a time when America needed
immigrants to work in its factories, to help build its infrastructure
of roads, bridges and tunnels, to go West to farm its plains,
and all the other tasks necessary to nation-building. That era
is over. Nowadays, immigration -- especially illegal immigration
from Mexico, Central and South America -- is the source of major
economic and social problems. |
