Bank of America Gives Credit To Illegal Immigrants

In another hit in the effort to secure our country from the invasion by illegal immigrants, Bank of America is planning to begin issuing credit cards to those who are here illegally. Headquartered in Charlotte, NC, the bank is already testing the program with illegals in California. The only item needed to acquire a Bank of America credit card is an IRS tax number, not a Social Security number registered with the government.

This program will certainly make it easier to live here if you are illegal, and enable them to put down roots in a way that will ignore their illegal status in our country. How much more likely would an illegal be to beat a deportation hearing after this program becomes the norm? Do you think the banking industry would want all of those illegal customers deported?? Also a very valid point.....how many terrorists would and could apply and be eligible to own credit cards here? All of the Sept 11 terrorists were in the country illegally remember.

This is not an unforeseen program though. By federal law, legislated by ELECTED officials, banks must provide savings and checking accounts to illegal immigrants, providing they have an IRS tax number or Mexico's government ID card! While that doesn't make much American Sense, it does make sense to politicians on the payroll of the big banking business. More than likely I will be closing my Bank of America credit card, after havng to press 1 for English!!
