"If somebody pays a landscaper with a check, and it's a good check, and the landscaper comes in to cash the check, are we breaking the law if we cash the check?" he said.

"If they (customers) look Hispanic, do I ID them? Can I profile? I don't think so."

This is such a lame arguement!

If I tried to cash a check at my bank (where I have done business for 20+ years!) they would still ask for identification. The ONLY reason a person would need to rely on the matricula consular is if that person were here illegally.

Exactly.

These banks knew exactly what they were doing when they decided to start accepting matriculas rather than an ID issued to legal residents. They are enablers of criminals.

How can someone legally open a bank account -- which will pay interest on which they will owe taxes -- without providing a legal ID and a verified SS or tax ID number ?
