Wells Fargo Bank: $25,000 donation for "mobile matriculas events"

Wells Fargo Bank has made a $25,000 contribution to the "One LA-IAF (Industrial Areas Foundation)" to help them "continue to have mobile matriculas events".

I don't have additional information on those events, but they would presumably be events where consuls from Mexico or other countries pass out their "Matricula Consular" identification cards, aka "IDs for illegals". At least one Mexican consul has admitted that they pass out those cards to both legal and illegal residents.

The donation was given at a community meeting in Southeast L.A. on July 17. From "Community leaders demand better schools, immigration rights":


...Community leaders praised Well Fargo Bank for being the first local financial institution to let individuals use consulate identification to open accounts. And Chris Rommel, a Wells Fargo officer, reported that more than 500,000 checking accounts using matriculas consulares as a valid form of identification had been opened to date. Then, to cheers, he presented a blown-up check to the community organization.

"One LA is doing fantastic work in the community, and we want to make sure that we're supporting that," he said. "To help them continue their work this year, I brought with me the contribution in the amount of $25,000 to help One LA continue to have mobile matriculas events."
