UPDATE: Bank of America

Bank of America has come out swinging, saying they are not going to stop a program issuing illegal immigrants credit cards. Kenneth Lewis, Bank of America Chief Executive, defended the program that will allow people without Social Security numbers to apply for a credit card from the bank. Lewis has said that the national spotlight is 'unpleasant', but he has pledged to continue the program and that those persons participating in the program could well become long-term customers. Great....a way for them to put down roots and remain here.......ILLEGALLY!

Representative Tom Tancredo (R), Colorado, has slammed the program, citing the prominence that money had in the September 11th attacks. "..we should be doing everything possible to block their access to financial resources".

Even prominent CNN host Lou Dobbs has said the program is an "outrage". If liberal leaning CNN is against it, it must be at least a little wrong, huh?

The National Illegal Immigration Boycott Coalition is campaigning for a national boycott of Bank of America and have started an on-line petition to that effect.

What do you think.....right or wrong?

I am fairly certain the interest rates for undocumented foreign invaders w/o a SSN will be high, so B of A wins if their cards are paid off. However, if the cards go unpaid, then where is the downside? The downside is for the American taxpayer who will suck up the loss. Collection agencies and lenders have very few, if any ways to track and put liens on lawbreakers who don’t have SSN numbers. So who are the real winners here? B of A to a large degree due to the vast number of illegals bound to use their card. More over the real winners are the criminals trespassing in the USA illegally. They get to run up credit with very little downside for defaulting on their cards.

OK, enough is enough. What the hell is happening to the American common sense approach to this issue of giving a greasy ass illegal immigrant a damned credit card. Isn't it enough that this bastard is costing us a fortune in taxes? No we'll end up footing the bill as tax payers when all these criminals default on these credit cards. Who do you think picks up this loss, Bank of America, hell no. You and me, that is who will be paying for the big screen TV that these bastards are buying right now over at Wal-Mart.
Oh yea and lets not even consider the terrorist buying potential that we now provide. Before they had to worry about dealing in cash which is a little red flag at the airlines. But a credit card will put them in the computer without a problem. What a bunch of dumb ass ignorant people we have in this country. Wake up and smell the roses. Call your congressman and let him know this is not good for our country, our economy, and your tax bill. Bank of America should be ashamed of itself and that CEO should be sent to Mexico to live. Out of here. John

Bank of America is the second biggest bank in the country. the think they can do whatever the want.

there are some Republicans in Congress looking into it.

I don't understand everyone's willingness to let illegals into the country. My guess is they are ignorant to the true cost of supporting those who do not contribute.

But that has become a norm as we move closer to being a complete welfare state.
