The Mexican consular office in Los Angeles issued a flier, a copy of which was obtained by The Examiner, listing the Catalina Island Country Club as the location of its satellite office. It invites Mexicans to visit the office to obtain the identification, called matricular cards, by appointment.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican whose district includes Catalina Island, said handing out matricular cards will exacerbate an already dangerous situation.
"Handing out matricular cards to Mexicans who are not in this country legally is wrong no matter where it's done," he said. "But on Catalina it will do more damage. It's a small island but there's evidence it's being used as a portal for illegals to access mainland California."
Rohrabacher added, "If there were a large number of Americans illegally in Mexico and the U.S. consulate was making it easier for them to stay, Mexico would never permit it."
Officers with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said their agency was asked by Mexican officials not to enforce U.S. immigration laws on the island while the cards were being issued.
"It amazes me every time that the Mexican government has the gall to tell us what to do," said an ICE official, who asked not to be named. "More surprisingly is how many times we stand by and let them. This is just an example of one of hundreds of requests we've had to deal with."

Comrade Obama probably suggested the move..or it is being funded by an off-shoot of ACORN...or both
Hey, California gets what they deserve as far as illegal immigration. They want to boycott Arizona because AZ has had enough illegals come across their borders and did something about it. Let them come across California and exercise their "civic rights". Better yet, Pelosi, Holder, and Napolitano can greet them at the country club and hand them their get-out-off-jail-free card.
Boycott all things Mexican !
hey update they moved the location

Mexican government officials have moved their satellite consular office from the Catalina Island Country Club to a Catholic Church – citing protection under the Vienna Convention - after it was discovered that they did not have the appropriate paperwork to issue the island’s illegal immigrants identification cards.
Matricular cards are a form of identification issued by the Mexican government for its citizens, just like we issue a replacement id or passport in our consular offices outside the US. You can ship all 12-20 million illegals out, and besides destroy our agricultural economy (guess who processes Maryland crabs) yet, the legal and native born Hispanics are already the largest minority and the birth rate is 3 to our 1, so that story is over; you have a 1 in 3 chance of having a hispanic grandbaby, even if you dont want to, that will be the decision of your son or daughter.
