It’s not often you can get a passport made on a weekend at the Jersey Shore. So hundreds of Mexicans flocked Saturday, April 19, to this church basement in Asbury Park to get IDs made. Since Wednesday, more than a thousand Mexican citizens have taken advantage of the Consulate on Wheels program.

No problema acerca de su escritura — yo no puedo entender inglés sin traductores de la web. Es por ello que las entrevistas son en Inglés!

Amazing. Does this happen a lot? Why Asbury Park, New Jersey?

It’s run out of the consulate in NYC, and they’re shooting for any major Mexican population on the outer edges of the metro. they did one in Bridgeport and I think one’s scheduled for Lakewood. A lot of people don’t have the documents, and thus zero ID at all, so it’s a no-questions-asked kinda thing.
