Bank of America launches credit card for illegal immigrants

Shoeless Joe

Lets Go White Sox
Bank of America, the country's second-largest bank, "has quietly begun offering credit cards to customers without Social Security numbers -- typically illegal immigrants," according to the Wall Street Journal. Customers can qualify for a credit card if they have had a checking account at the bank for at least three months. They are required to leave a deposit and pay a relatively high interest rate, according to the paper.

Something that shocked the hell out of me today that I heard was this. Although BofA is trying to keep a tight lip on this, one person spoke out saying that illegals have been known to pay their bills. And there are 12 million potential customers out there. I was on the way to work this morning when I heard this and I almost wrecked when my jaw hit my steering wheel.....

Yeah, some of them are outstanding citizens. That is why we have over 250K in prison in this country right now. San Diego put up a wall to keep the locals in Mexico (Tijuana is right across the border) and out of San Diego. Guess what? Crime went down a whopping 53% after the wall went up from the previous year without the wall. Coincidence I don't think so.

This not to mention that all the upstanding individuals in the quote above are already breaking the freakin' law!!

Smart move by Bank of America if it is indeed legal, and they aren't breaking the law. Money is money, no matter who it comes from.

Now ethics, thats another story...
That is the point the dumbass here in Charlotte was making this morning. He said it is the same thing as McDonalds doing business with illegals and not asking them for Social Security numbers for a hamburger. Business sense it is brilliant. Ethically it is wrong!!!
