NEWS RELEASE


 
State law to prohibit foreign IDs
 
CAIR urges state legislators to support Government Identity Documents
Act
 
Lakewood, CO (January 21, 2003) -- Associates of the Colorado Alliance
for Immigration Reform (CAIR) will be in attendance at a 2:15pm press
conference today called by Rep. Don Lee and Sen. John Andrews in the
third-floor press room of the state capitol building. The Republican
state legislators will announce their sponsorship of a bill that would
make illegal the accepting of the Mexican matricula consular ID card
and other "unsecured" IDs.
 
Called the Secure and Verifiable Identity Document Act, the bill would
prohibit a public entity or public official from accepting
identification documents not "issued by a state or federal
jurisdiction that is unverifiable by federal law enforcement,
intelligence or Homeland Security agencies." Exemptions to the
prohibition would be crime reports or where federal law mandated
acceptance of such a document.
 
CAIR is calling on all state legislators to support the bill. Fred
Elbel, CAIR co-director, said, "In a post-September-11 reality,
accepting anything less than secure, verifiable IDs is flirting with
disaster." CAIR spokesman, Mike McGarry, said the Mexican martricula
consular ID card is a "sham card issued on the strength of false,
dubious and unverified documents by agents of a corrupt foreign
government."
 
Last December CAIR filed a 13-page formal complaint with the U.S.
Attorney's office against Mayor Wellington E. Webb and the City and
County of Denver for officially accepting the matricula card as valid
ID. On January 8, 2003, CAIR co-sponsored a debate in Denver on the
matricula card, The Mexican matricula consular ID Card: Safe or
Sorry?.

Damn, fire!  Progress on the hoof!  What a deal!
There are definitely a couple of loop holes, but the slack is slowly but
surely coming out.
This is going to be kind of like watching an avalanche start from the toss
of a single snowball.

these morons think the threat is coming from Mexico.  Perhaps they are
right - morons are the only ones threatened by Mexico.
