H.R. 773, the 21st Century Access to Banking Act, would authorize financial institutions to accept matricula consular ID cards as a valid form of identification. This would have allowed illegal aliens to use the non-secure and non-verifiable matricula consular ID card to open bank accounts in the United States, thus making it easier for illegal aliens to live and work in the United States.
H.R. 687, the Identification Integrity Act, would prohibit federal agencies from accepting non-verifiable ID documents issued by foreign governments, such as the matricula consular. This would have prevented illegal aliens from being able to open a bank account or to apply for any federally provided public benefit.
H.R. 655 would prevent illegal aliens from being able to use a driver's license as a legal form of identification. Since a driver's license is a gateway to other documents, this would have made it more difficult for an illegal alien to operate in the U.S.
H.R. 502 would have required a secure and verifiable ID be used to obtain Federal public benefits. This would prohibit federal agencies from accepting non-verifiable ID documents issued by foreign governments, such as the matricula consular, thus preventing illegal aliens from applying for any federally provided public benefit.
S. 8, the Educational Excellence for All Learners Act, would reward illegal aliens with amnesty by granting in-state tuition and amnesty to certain college-age illegal aliens. It would also create an incentive for illegal immigration by granting in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities to certain illegal aliens.
