Bill would allow deportation of people with foreign IDs

WASHINGTON -- Presenting a foreign-issued identification card to federal authorities would be reason enough for deportation under legislation Rep. Elton Gallegly, R-Thousand Oaks, introduced Friday.

The bill represents Gallegly's latest effort to restrict the Mexican "matricula consular" cards that are issued by the thousands each month in Los Angeles alone, and which local governments increasingly accept as a valid form of ID.

By amending the Immigration and Naturalization Act, Gallegly also would bar any illegal immigrant who was deported for using a foreign identification card from re-entering the U.S. for 10 years.

"It would mean a federal agency could not accept this as a form of identification," Gallegly said. "Clearly, the only person that needs this card is someone who is here illegally in the United States."

Isn't a passport a foreign-issed ID? Are they going to deport all the tourists for using them? I didn't see any exemption for passports!

These repugnicans are sooooo fucking dumb!
