CA ALERT! Schwarzenegger's ""Bank on California"" program to accept Matricula Consular ID cards from illegal aliens.


Governor Schwarzenegger has launched a program called ""Bank on California"" to open bank accounts for low-income people, but it also allows usage of the consular ID cards whose purpose is to facilitate illegal immigration.

The program is designed to encourage low-income people to avoid the high fees of check-cashing services, a laudable-enough effort, but by facilitating and encouraging illegal immigration, it works against the interests of poor Americans.

According to the program's guidelines, ""participating banks and credit unions accept the Mexican Matricula and the Guatemalan Consular identification cards.""

In testimony before Congress, the FBI stated:

[C]onsular ID cards are primarily being utilized by illegal aliens in the United States. Foreign nationals who are present in the U.S. legally have the ability to use various alternative forms of identification.... The Department of Justice and the FBI have concluded that the Matricula Consular is not a reliable form of identification.

Let the Governor know that you are outraged that illegal immigrants are using a program designed to help poor Americans.
