Rockford Red Cross office used to distribute Mexican ‘matricula’ cards
OneNewsNow
An immigration-reform activist says an Illinois branch of the American Red Cross should be taken to task for allowing the Mexican government to use its office to pass out consular identification cards to illegal aliens in the community. Last year, officials with the Mexican Consulate in Chicago used the public library in Rockford to issue “matricula consular” cards to foreign nationals in the area so they wouldn’t have to make the 90-mile trip.
Recently, the mobile Mexican Consulate returned to Rockford, this time setting up shop at the local Red Cross office. Susan Tully of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) says she is appalled that a private charity like the Red Cross is helping a foreign government make a mockery of U.S. immigration laws.”The American Red Cross in Rockford, Illinois, opened their office to be used by the Mexican Consulate to distribute Mexican ‘matricula’ cards,” Tully notes. “And, of course, their reason for doing it is, they said, there are people in need up here — desperate need — of having identification,” she says. “This is bogus…
“The American public should stop supporting the American Red Cross if they’re going to continue to aid and abet illegal aliens,” the FAIR spokeswoman asserts. “Those are the only people in the United States who would need Mexican matricula cards,” she says.

Unfortunately, a number of tax-exempt groups, including some of the leadership of the Catholic Church in the United States, help the corporate immigration agenda by facilitating illegal immigration.
