But mayor says consular card won’t stop arrests of suspects

The Mexican Consulate in Texas, which has been at war with Irving city officials over their http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2032 on illegal aliens, says it now wants to send mobile units into the city to deliver identification cards to try to save the illegals from arrest.
“If they have the card, their chances of not being arrested would improve dramatically,” Consul Enrique Hubbard Urrea told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
He said if police are provided information about a person’s identification, they often can just issue a citation, but if there’s no ID, suspects more likely are arrested.
Irving Mayor Herbert Gears told the newspaper the ID cards probably wouldn’t make that much difference in the city’s crackdown. But he did say he would meet periodically with Urrea to review any complaints over the city’s Criminal Alien Program. “Nothing has been changed in regards to police policy and procedure,” he told the newspaper.
