The controversial decision by Durham police and city council to accept the Mexican ID card known as the Matricular Consular would be voided by a bill making its way through the General Assembly. Yesterday a House committee approved the measure and it now heads to the House Judiciary Committee. The Herald-Sun reports that, as you might suspect, Durham officials aren’t happy about it and that Durham’s legislative delegation believes they cannot stop it.

If Durham does not like it, that is a flag that you are on the right track.

Accept the ID and have area hospitals and jails send the bills for treating and housing Mexican Citizens to the Mexican Consulate.
