Atlanta Bans Mexican ID Card After Anti-Illegal Immigration Activist Complaint (certificate, birth)

[All American NYC]

This only gets better & better

The "Matricula" has a long and disturbing history in America. Purposely created by the Mexican government and distributed in its dozens of U.S. consulates to facilitate illegal aliens' exploitation of U.S. social service benefits, it has been used for years by illegals to steal services in sanctuary cities across the nation. It is routinely used to mask identity thieves by creating new false names as needed to escape past wrongdoing. It was even accepted by unscrupulous entities like Bank of America to issue massive subprime loans to illegal aliens, which helped precipitate the start of the housing collapse in 2007-8.

I agree in regards to banking.

But wanted to comment since I live in Atlanta, that I do believe this is a step in the right direction. My son's identity was stolen by an illegal immigrant when he was 5 years old and it was a very difficult situation to go through and I still fear that his credit will be ruined before he is 18 due to these thieves. He is only 10 right now and I have to order a copy of his credit report every year due to this occuring.

Banks chose to accept it, has nothing to do with Federal Banking Laws. CIP's at banks (federal banking law) requires even more personal information than before, pretty much making the Matricular card unacceptable now.

You can request a new SSN for him. For adults, this is much more drastic measure since it eliminates your entire credit history. Since he is only 10 years old, it really means nothing to wipe his credit history clean. I had my SSN cancelled when I was 19 (not voluntarily) and was issued a new one. Other than problems with my selective service registration and obtaining my birth certificate, this has otherwise not been a major issue for credit.
