The article "Controversy roils over Mexican ID" has a detail-rich roundup of Mexico's Matricula Consular cards, aka "IDs for illegals". It includes this bit that I didn't know:
A glossy brochure handed out at the Mexican Consulate in San Diego promises Mexicans that having one of the cards "can make your dreams come true," allow Mexican citizens to open bank accounts, get credit cards and even "own the home of (their) dreams."
And, all aided and abetted by our "American" banks and "American" politicians.
