Caught a segment on NPR's all things considered Wednesday.
Bank of America is issuing credit cards and bank account to undocumented immigrants.
This is completely outrageous. Why are illegals getting special privileges that legal citizens do not?
I have spotless credit and yet every time I have ever borrowed or otherwise applied for credit get put through the wringer and also have to supply a SS number.
These accounts for illegals require no such documentation or credit history. To be fair - they are higher interest due to the increased risk. But to me it is fundamentally flawed that illegals should be granted special rights. Un flippin believable.

I heard about this on Lou Dobbs. It's absolutely insane. It's just one more Corporate enterprise trying to find a way to profiteer off illegal immigration. In this case the Corporation is the Bank of America. B of A has simply found a new pool of borrowers that they can tap into, while expecting U.S. taxpayers to bail them out if they get in trouble.

Business name: Transporte de Contrabanda, S.A. Business Description: Drug Smugglin' & Gang Bangin' Authorized Signer: Juan Fulano (that's like Joe Blow) address: 1234 Illegal Way, Los Demonios, Mexifornio Income: Cash SS#: NO NEED Additional cards: Osama bin Forgotten Cocaina Mulo (mule)

That's an awesome idea graybeard! I'll do the same with the next BoA credit card junk mailing I get

Don't forget to buy Bank of America's life insurance while you're at it. They need your insurance premiums to help fund these new credit cards for illegal immigrants.
