Credit Cards For Illegals
This story will make your blood boil. How can this country continue to let things like this happen? We need to send a message to Bank Of America if they actually do this. Why do people that come here illegally end up with more rights than us?
From Reuters.com:
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Bank of America Corp. has begun offering credit cards to customers without Social Security numbers, typically illegal immigrants, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
In recent years, banks across the country have been offering checking accounts and even mortgages to the nation’s fast-growing ranks of undocumented immigrants, most of whom are Hispanic, the paper said, adding these immigrants generally have not been able to get major credit cards.
The new Bank of America card is open to people who lack both a Social Security number and a credit history, as long as they have held a checking account with the bank for three months without an overdraft, the Journal said.
Bank of America tested the program last year at five branches in Los Angeles, and last week expanded it to 51 branches in Los Angeles County, home to the largest concentration of illegal immigrants in the U.S., the Journal said.
The bank hopes to roll out the program nationally later this year, the paper said.
A Bank of America spokesman was not immediately available to comment.

Bank of America is doing the same as the USA. They are making the Middle Class, hard working, tax paying REAL citizens take on the responsibility of PAYING for the rich and the illegals. I am sick of what is happening here, and very happy I have no children who will have to pick up the tab for the illegals who will NEVER pay. Why should they? No one will ever be able to find them. You know if they have no soc. sec. number, they are not paying taxes on any income. Technically, they are residing in the USA with credit from a big bank that you and I don’t qualify for because we don’t make enough money AFTER taxes. But when the illegals default, it will be OUR taxes that will pay the bills. We are paying enough for all the freeloaders!

Hopefully the US attorneys office will force the bank to release the name and address of those without SS numbers and go after them and ship them out of theU.S.

It is time to let your voice be heard…..close your accounts with Bank of Hispanics or do you believe…America. This really makes a sick joke out of the banks name….it should be renamed to bank of Mexico, or bank of illegal aliens, bank owned and operated by slimebags. My checking account is CLOSED!!!!! I think a class discrimination suit is on its way…real American citizens don’t get this kind of preferred treatment…they just get to pick up the tab when it goes to crap!

I agree. This has crossed the line into the absurd. We are rewarding criminal activities. I have just cut up the Bank of America cards that I own. They will never get another drop of my money

B of A is just abetting criminals (criminals as defined as those who break the laws of this nation). Why not extend the credit card to incarcerated citizens as well…they are just in jail for committing other crimes.

What MORE can the US do for them? This is not the beginning or the end…An illegal totaled my car and the only thing that happened to them was they got their car impounded for a month. When the police filed the report at the scene, the two illegals didn’t even know what, “What is your name?” meant. I guess I was lucky since most of them commit hit and run. PLEASE cut up your BOA credit cards (like Glen Beck did) and cancel them.
