I got this in my e-mail this am. A very interesting read. Certainly a major reason our “Presidente” will not be interested in controlling illegal immigration. Only in MEXIFORNIA… Or is it a sign of things to come??
The following was a narrative for the embedded pics in the e-mail. I found all of the pics on a YT vid, so it is below. Some of the text is describing the picture that was in that spot, but the video goes in the same order so you will get it either way.

IDs for Illegals: The ‘Matricula Consular’ Advances Mexico’s Immigration Agenda
Go ahead, try to enter Mexico illegally. Try and enter any other country illegally. I lived in Canada for 5 years and every six months had to leave the country and come back in and start all over again.
The Santa Ana, CA, Mexican Consulate set up a mobile Mexican Matricula Consular ID center on UNITED STATES PUBLIC SCHOOL PROPERTY- Capistrano School District at the Adult English Language Development Center located at 31351 Camino Real, San Juan Capistrano, CA .
The fee is $27 per matricula consular application.
When the Minutemen arrived at the Capistrano School District Adult School there was a hub of activity. A mobile Mexican Consulate center was in full swing.
Legal resident Mexicans have U.S. issued green cards, for identification.

Mexican Nationals in the U.S. ILLEGALLY do NOT have a green card and therefore need a Mexican matricula consular identification card – matricula means: of a like group and consular means: from a consulate.

After the Minutemen had been onsite for about an hour and a half, the mobile center was shut down – (pic)
Once Minutemen began to observe and report, documenting and photographing, the Mexican Nationals no longer ventured forth to the center and many, who had been in attendance, left the mobile center.
MEXICAN DIPLOMAT TELLS MINUTEMEN – LEAVE! (pic)

The Mexican diplomat, above, approached the Minutemen as the Minutemen were peacefully strolling about – on United States public school property – observing and taking photos of the event.

Minuteman Project National Rally Spokesman Raymond Herrera said to the Mexican diplomat, “No, we will not leave. We are guaranteed freedom of assembly under OUR Constitution.”
I said to the diplomat, “The U.S. should adopt Mexico ‘s immigration policy.” “Oh,” she agreed. ” Mexico has a very good immigration policy.”

The Mexican diplomat was particularly vexed by our photographing of the event. “DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS,” she commanded repeatedly. Minutemen stated that in the USA, we have the right to photograph in public. “No, you cannot take photos,” she insisted. Herrera and the diplomat then entered into a lengthy discussion in Spanish.
GANG MEMBER with application in hand (pic)
The man, above photo, displayed gang hand signals and yelled out “THIS IS OUR TERRITORY!” The Mexican diplomat witnessed and seemingly approved of the gang member at the “Mexican Only” event. (pic)
He appeared to be filling out an application – in his left hand above. Many have informally been told that in the Hispanic community only gang members wear black shoes. Note in the photo above, the only man in black shoes is the self-professed gang member.
DIPLOMAT ASSAULTS!
The Minutewoman, above, had been quietly photographing… (pic)

Suddenly the door above opened, and the Mexican diplomat, came out yelling. The photo above is just before she lashed out. (pic)
To our utter amazement, the diplomat started to strike out at the Minutewoman! We were in a state of shock. As she yelled, she struck across the Minutewoman’s lower right jaw and lip, several times.
The Minutewoman above, in her left hand, used her sign as a shield, while pulling her camera back from the assaulting Mexican diplomat. Ten minutes after the assault the Minutewoman still had a “stinging” sensation on her lip and jaw area. (pic)
POLICE ARRIVE (pic)
Police arrived after the assault.
The police said they had been called by the consulate as they had reported that the Minutemen were inside the building yelling and pushing about. We never entered the building and had been quietly moving outside, on school property.
Herrera spoke with officers then requested they interview the diplomat. Per the officer’s request, the diplomat came forward. (pic)
“They must leave,” she said to the officer. But the officer replied, “No, this is a public school and they can be here.”
The diplomat then said that we must stop photographing them. “Ma’am,” the officer informed her, “You are in a public area and they can photograph.”
The officer then asked her, “Do you have the paperwork to use this facility.”
“Yes,” she replied.
“I would like to see it,” the officer said,
“I don’t have the paperwork with me,” she said back to him.
“I would like to see your identification,” the officer said.
“No, you can’t,” she said to the officer. The officer at this point followed her inside of the building. “I have no identification with me. I did not drive, “she finally said as the officer pursued the issue. At this point, the door shut and the officer remained inside of the building.
OFFICER ON THE PHONE (pic)
After the officer spoke with the diplomat, he returned to his vehicle and spoke on his cell phone for about 15 to 20 minutes.
After he hung up, he met with us. He said the consulate did not have paperwork but that he had spoken to the individual who had granted the use of the school. He said that we could continue to assemble on the school property.
He appeared sympathetic about the Minutewoman assault, but said the Mexican Consulate staff had diplomatic immunity.
MEXICAN CONSULAR VEHICLE (pic)
Please share this! Americans must know what is happening behind our backs, in our own country!
Matricula Consular cards are identification cards issued by the Mexican government to mainly illegal immigrants living in the United States. Currently, more than 350 financial institutions accept Matricula Consular cards as proof of identification thereby allowing thousands of illegal immigrants to have access to mainstream U.S. financial services.
Please remember that the current Obamacare legislation:
Cuts Medicare for seniors by $500 billion.
Will lead to doctors – and medical institutions – refusing to treat Medicare patients.
Forces every American to buy health insurance under the penalty of a fine or jail.
Establishes a Medicare Advisory Board of government bureaucrats empowered to ration health care for seniors, cut their benefits.
Will not lead to a cost savings once the doc fix is added, and it will be.
There is so much more wrong with this bill. The fact is we may never have a better opportunity than now to stop the radical Obamacare.
It is urgent key members of Congress hear from you.

Tell your Congressman you OPPOSE the Obamacare Plan and that they must vote AGAINST it!
We were THISCLOSE to packing some clothes and heading out at midnight last night to drive to DC.
That’s when we would need to leave to make it there. In the end, we discussed what responsibilities we had here at home, with an elderly mom and jobs and a mortgage to pay. We decided it would be difficult at best to make it there in time, and that it would make it next to impossible to pay our bills if we used the money on gas, food and hotel rooms for a trip to this rally.
Then it hit me. THIS is why the Tea Party movement is an incredible phenomenon in and of itself! Most conservatives, regardless of party affiliation, are RESPONSIBLE people who pay their own way and don’t expect handouts. Much too responsible to drop all the things they have to do for their families and their employers, or employees, to just run to a rally. No matter how important the protest.
I have been to several. We have given up lunches and rearranged schedules to drive as many as 7 hours to attend them. It’s THAT important to us that this travesty called “health care reform” not be passed into law. The double counting, fuzzy math, backroom dealing, stealing from the elderly and flat out LYING in this bill…not to mention the fact that they are disregarding the directive of the American people AND the CONSTITUTION to do it!
There are are so many people that don’t see the whole picture. We do not have people dying in the streets for lack of health care. Doctors and hospitals aren’t turning people away for lack of insurance. I worked in health care for over 20 years. We saw people without insurance all the time. Medicare and Medicaid need to be fixed and expanded, if there really are people not covered. Absolutely. Do THAT first. And the insurance companies need to have some guidelines as to not being able to drop people when they get sick. That’s why we pay for insurance in the first place. Duh. Allow insurance sales across state lines. Make them work for our business. But this bill doesn’t do that and will end the health care we have now…the best health care in the world. Health care workers need to CALL THEIR REPS! Tell them to VOTE NO!
This makes me so sick. I just watched Pelosi…again…say she is assured of a victory “for the American people”. This health care travesty is NOT what MOST of us want and I am livid. They have no business issuing “rights” and the folks that elected them to office don’t either. I will be here tomorrow, calling whoever I can to beg them to vote no. Please do the same. Call them. E-mail them. Go to their office. Please ask them to vote no. This is not what we want.
If you want to make your voice heard on the health-care bill before the House votes on Sunday, you’d better do so quickly. To make things easier for you, here, organized in alphabetical order by state, are the 40 key Democratic members of Congress whom Jeff Anderson and Andy Wickersham identified in a Critical Condition post last week, together with their direct Capitol Hill office phone numbers. (I haven’t kept track of all the developments since then, but it would be useful to congratulate or berate your member, as you see fit, if he or she has firmly adopted a position.)
The “(S)” means that the member voted for the Stupak amendment last fall.
Please note: Most representatives’ email contact forms require you to enter a zip code and address located within their district.

House Democrats on the fence:
Brian Baird (WA-03)
Found this on the internet…and Snopes has it verified. As “proud” as Michelle Obama is “finally’ feeling of our Country…I am equally ashamed of this administration and hoping it lasts no more than one term. We cannot afford more.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don’t believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert.
I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos’n Mate. Now I live in a “rest home” located on the western end of Pearl Harbor allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man.
So here goes.
I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can’t figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:
# “We’re no longer a Christian nation”
# “America is arrogant” – (Your wife even announced to the world, “America is mean-spirited.” Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I’d say shame on the both of you but I don’t think you like America nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.
After 9/11 you said, “America hasn’t lived up to her ideals.” Which ones did you mean?
1. Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British ?
2. Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War?
3. I hope you didn’t mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellahs I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around because we stand for freedom.
4. I don’t think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer,young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don’t, I’ll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their
people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. You mean you don’t want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts who was putting up a fight? You don’t mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don’t want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life but you’re the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you’re not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you’re thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president.
You’re not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That’s not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don’t want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.
Incredible…incredibly sad. Incredibly stupid. Incredibly crazy. How can they believe we want this pack of lies as an excuse for a health care bill?
Please e-mail or call your Senators. This is not the change we need. This is NOT going to do what they promise. This bill steals money from medicare in order to cover many who don’t WANT health care and will ultimately force us all on a substandard version of health care.
Here’s a sample email — use it or your own words.
Subject: Vote NO on Pelosi Health Services bill or WE vote NO in 2010
WE THE PEOPLE are organized, engaged, and enthused.
We were able to organize sending over 20,000 people to Washington DC in less than 6 days even during a recession. Thousands of us across America worked the phone banks in NJ and Virginia to get the conservative wins and we were DEFINITELY sending you a message to stay out of our health care.
We WILL work to remove any politician from office in 2010 who does not listen to us. And if you vote yes to the unconstitutional power grabbing Pelosi Health Bill atrocity, your name will be at the top of the list.
This is a promise. VOTE NO ON THE PELOSI HEALTH BILL.
PUT YOUR NAME and at least your city and state.
Copy these addresses and put in the BCC: field. Put your own address in the TO: field.
And here are the DC PHONE #’s of Congressmen who are undecided on Health Care. If they are yours? CALL THEM:

That’s all I have today. I have a cold. Probably NOT H1N1. Glad we work and have our own health insurance for the moment. Still praying the public option and now the proposed tax on employers who provide the best for their employees gets tossed from this travesty of a bill the liberals seem intent on having, regardless of the majority of the opinion in this country. Bah.This liberal idea of punishing those who do well is so crazy. CRAZY.
Nancy. Madam Speaker. Princess. Whatever. You need to understand this, and I have finally figured out what it is that you don’t get.
YOU think we’re angry. YOU think we are having town hall “tantrums” like little children, because we didn’t get our way. That is absolutely wrong. What you are seeing at town halls and tea parties is not anger. Anger is mild compared to what we feel and our passion is not born of resentment or disappointment. Don’t get me wrong, we feel that too. Very strongly. Every time you speak, I feel that. But no, this is different.
What we feel is beyond anger, beyond disappointment. What we feel is outraged.
You and your cronies have been chiseling away at the backbone of this country for the few years you have been in the majority. Understand you are only in the majority in Washington. In less than a year, you and Obama have taken this country in a direction that I cannot imagine any true American would even joke about going. I can only believe you are all completely insane, and I would feel sorry for you if you weren’t endangering the country I love.
Earlier this week a woman called in to Rush Limbaugh’s show. Yes, I know how you hate Rush. Maybe it’s actually demon possession…don’t they go crazy at the sound of truth being spoken? But truth is what this woman spoke and I really wish you could listen to her. She is a fellow Californian, one of your people, if not a “constituent”, per se.
But you should listen. Because there are more of us every day. Every day, one more person…or a hundred, depending on what stupid, irresponsible, communistic thing you and your cronies have pulled that day…become outraged and join our ranks. So stop your bawling and crybaby act. YOU are doing this, Nancy. Obama is doing this. We were asleep…and you partied too loud and took too much advantage. Now we’re awake…and we’re beyond angry. WE ARE OUTRAGED.
Here is part one of Susan’s call on YouTube – there are three parts:
Goes right along with all the rest of the predictable crap that is our fearful leader. I bet there’s even a string and a little plastic ring coming out of his back. Gah.
*clicking my heels together 3 times* There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.
I find it interesting [in a sick-to-my-stomach, wish-I-could-turn-back-time kinda way] that Obama keeps throwing people under the bus. And laughable that people are surprised when he claims no knowledge of the activities of the people with whom he surrounds himself. Add those to the list of lies.
In his book “Dreams of my Father,” Obama wrote that in 1980, while at Occidental College, he was careful to vet his friends. “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”
So, we’re expected to believe that someone who was mentored by a well known, and admitted member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), Frank Marshall Davis, and had the forethought at 18 years old to “vet” his friends, doesn’t know exactly who the people are that he is associated with.
He also said during the election:
And so…I think we can conclude that he knew EXACTLY who Van Jones was…and who Mark Loyd is…and Cass Sunstein…gosh, then there’s ACORN…and Valerie Jarrett, who said they had been watching Van Jones for years…
And now Qaddafi says he wants Obama to be our president “forever”. Go figure…
Now, if you hate Glenn Beck, fine, it’s not about him…even if you hate Daniel Hannan, fine. It’s not about him either.
It’s about the facts. The UK’s health care system…the one these crazy, misguided people in DC wants to “model” our health care plan after…is the THIRD LARGEST EMPLOYER IN THE WORLD!
I hope you folks who voted for Obama and regret it are paying attention. This is not something we can fix once it’s in place. We have to stop it now. Before it’s allowed to happen. If you regret your decision, fine…help us now. Make your voice heard. Don’t just be quiet out of guilt or embarrassment. Write a letter, send an e-mail, put a bumper sticker on your car, wear a t-shirt. SOMETHING.
Even the Baucus plan that he claims is NOT a public option is a bad deal. The BS about it not being “a public option” is just not true. You cannot put a government run plan in competition with other plans that are regulated by the government. I mean, that’s just common sense. That’s what is lacking in Congress right now. COMMON SENSE!
Please, people…we need to bring this country back to majority rules and common sense. The insane fringe has taken over and they think they have the answers and they just don’t. Help us stop this health care nightmare before it begins.
America will die in the name of tolerance and compassion unless we all wake up and see that empowering people will do more than entitling them.
