The Mexican Consulate in Texas, which has been at war with Irving city officials over their crackdown on illegal aliens, says it now wants to send mobile units into the city to deliver identification cards to try to save the illegals from arrest.
"If they have the card, their chances of not being arrested would improve dramatically," Consul Enrique Hubbard Urrea told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
He said if police are provided information about a person's identification, they often can just issue a citation, but if there's no ID, suspects more likely are arrested.
Irving Mayor Herbert Gears told the newspaper the ID cards probably wouldn't make that much difference in the city's crackdown. But he did say he would meet periodically with Urrea to review any complaints over the city's Criminal Alien Program.
"Nothing has been changed in regards to police policy and procedure," he told the newspaper.
City residents have been raising complaints about illegal aliens in their city for some time. At the beginning of 2007, a petition with 800 signatures was submitted to the city in support of citizen demands that illegal immigrants who commit crimes be monitored more closely.
The city's effort identifies suspected illegal immigrants in the city's jail and refers them to federal authorities for a review of their immigration status, and consideration for deportation.
Authorities report more than 1,600 illegal aliens, mostly Mexicans, have been handed over the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a little over a year.

Why don’t the Mexicans just WHIP out their Mexican Passport, and show the officials a valid VISA, and that they are in the country, THAT should satisfy the IRVING police. Is there any other CORRECT way to perform due process?
“We don’t need no steenking badges.”
Errrr, putting them in prison for their "serious crimes" will also remove them as a threat to Irving. They should only be given to ICE for case disposition AFTER they have served their Texas prison time.
Actually, that’s what Irving is doing for those who committed felonies - as I understand it.
With misdemeanors, why bother making the taxpayer foot the bill for their brief incarcerations? Just deport them quickly; it’s cheaper.
I was thinking of contributing the same line! LOL!

You know folks, it occurs to me that perhaps we should start petitioning the Mexican government for relief on issues of merit. Since they’re now in charge of the governing the United States, I believe that would be appropriate.
Washington, D.C., the pimp leaders that frequent the halls of our Congress and the White House should just go home. Since you have abdicated your powers, you’re not needed any longer.
Mexico City is now our seat of governance.
Evidently!

So let me get this straight, if I go to vacation in Mexico, I have to now apply for a passport. But if I’m a Mexican I can break into the country illegally and have the Mexico consulate give its seal of approval by issuing me a ID card? If I was a Irving cop, the second I saw one, I would arrest the bastard holding it!
how do they know who these people are?

By George, I think you’ve got it!
When my wive renewed her Texas DL recently, a lot of young Hispanic males were there to get ID cards.

Yep, give the both licenses.
In fact, give them as many licenses as they want, in any names they make up.
Caesar is now a legal resident, but he says the problem isn't getting permission from the US to come in, but the problem is that a Mexican cannot get a visa from his own government without a whole lot of bribes. He had no chance of raising the bribe money to pay the Mexican government while living in Mexico. He raised the cash in California pretty quickly grooming dogs.
I still think we have to stop illegal entry into our country, but I had never considered the root of the problem is the corruption within the Mexican government.
