CHILDREN MUST BE CHILDREN – AT 8:45 A.M. ET:   Hey, do I qualify?  I have a Stop 'n Shop card:

DURHAM, NC (WTVD) -- Durham's city council is getting an earful over a controversial plan to allow Mexican immigrants to use a special Mexican ID card for Mexican citizens living outside Mexico.

If approved, Durham would be the first city in the country to accept the Matricula Consular. It's an identification card issued by the Government of Mexico through its consulate offices to Mexican citizens residing outside of Mexico regardless of their emigration status.

According to an opinion from the Durham City Attorney, "the official purpose of the card is to demonstrate that the holder is a Mexican citizen living outside of Mexico. It includes an official Government of Mexico issued ID number and bears a photograph and address of the Mexican National to whom it is issued."

If Durham approves the resolution, city officials and police officers would accept it as a legal form of ID and banks could also accept it for financial transactions.

COMMENT:  Yeah, Durham.  Home of Duke University, where three innocent lacrosse players almost got lynched, and where the so-called "women's center" actually cancelled an event about motherhood in March because the sponsor was pro-life.  It figures that Durham would want to be "the first" to go along with this sham.

What is it about college towns, like Durham and Cambridge? 

This is a corrupt scheme to get around the status of illegals.  Valid ID, almost by definition, should be issued by an American authority to those who qualify.  If we accept something like the Matricula Consular, we should insist that it contain the immigration or visitation status of the holder.  That's a minimum requirement.
