This falls under information they didn’t want you to know. It just represents another reason why American’s far and wide should fight and fight hard to stop Matricular cards in the United States. As you read this information, watch for the key word “remittances”.

Ahh, the real reason the Mexican Government wants to flood America with alien matricular cards….they know damn well that drug cartels use them to send tens of billions of dollars of drug money to Mexico.
This is yet another “secret” Enrique Morones and the Mexican Consulates try to conceal! Is anyone surprised? Open borders are mostly about illegal drugs and the money the rich and elite (on both sides of the border) make off the massive drug trade from Mexico. Connect the dots and follow the money!

According to a report from the U.S. government, in the last five years, the Mexican drug cartels have achieved “to repatriate” to Mexico 22 Billion dollars, by means of transactions in the financial system and by conduit of the companies that the migrants use for their remittances.
The 2008 report of the International Narcotics Control Strategy, of the American State Department, notifies that Mexico is one of the jurisdictions that more challenges represent for the authorities of the neighboring northern country (U.S.) regarding money laundering, since by Mexico’s northern border they pass dollar cargos from the sale of drugs in the United States.
It stands out that, besides utilizing sophisticated traditional financial system, of banks and exchange stores, the drug-traffickers have responded to a new tactic to use the companies specialized in remittances, to launder money.
MATRICULA CONSULAR
It is easier to disguise the illicit origin of money shipments, as if were remittances, since migrants should only present their matricula consular as identification, to summarize the shipment of dollars to their relatives in Mexico, without the need to open a bank account.
“This makes lawful remittances more accessible, but also leaves open the potential for money laundering of groups of organized crime.”
According to the report, it is estimated that from 2003 to this date, the bosses of drug trafficking managed to introduce to Mexico 22 billion dollars, product of the sale of drugs in the United States.
