I would expect, though, that a passport would be a bit harder to get than a DUI (haha, nice name) simply because El Salvador won't take the risk of invalidating their passports by handing them out with little to no verification like they would the DUI. Let me know when someone gets an El Salvadorian DUI card for their dog. I imagine it won't be hard. The bottom line is that the DUI, and all of the other ID cards that these third-world bannna republics hand out, aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

Consulates and embassies, their staff, and what actions are consistent with their diplomatic missions are regulated by the U.S. Department of State. Even though a consulate may be located in a local jurisdiction outside of Washington, D.C., the locality has no power of law enforcement in regards to the actions by staff associated with the consulate, as long as those actions are consistent with their diplomatic mission and do not immediately endanger citizens. This actually makes a lot of sense, and has long been a tenet of international law. But just because the locality can't do anything about this, it doesn't at all mean that there's no one to register a complaint with. First, your U.S. Congressman or Senator will be very interested to hear about your concerns regarding the actions of foreign missions in the United States. The State Department's Office Of Foreign Missions (at http://www.state.gov/ofm/ ) will also accept these complaints, although I believe your elected officials may be more responsive. In cases of clearly dangeours behavior, spying or something like that the FBI should be your first point of contact, and they coordinate with OFM as necessary. This is a federal issue, by design. Although it may be sort of a pain, it does protect the ability of our diplomats to operate overseas.

When I saw the photo of the place, before I read the article and realized that it was the acronymn for the ID, I thought is was some lawyer who specialized in DUI.

They have one somewhere in Eastern Prince William. They issue Mexican I.D. cards and you are right, they only need one if they are here illegally. Any company that knowingly uses this as a form of I.D. should be ashamed of themselves. I have had these I.D.'s used to pick up their kids at school, and then they drive away in a car. If they are driving, they should be showing a Virginia drivers license, not a Mexican I.D. So I know they are breaking at least two laws when they do this. America has ignored the immigration problem for so long now, that the illegals feel they are entitled to the same right as Americans. Wrong!!!! Greg,
