Bank of America Offers Credit Cards to Illegals
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.

This will also be an easy way to launder money for terrorists.

Camel Jockey:
Bunch of bullshit. Seriously, why isn't our congress dealing with this bullshit?  >:(

(Cap...meltdown...grrr)   Okay, I'm good now.   ;D  This is so ridiculous it is redunkulous.  Haha.  I'm glad that we will again foot the bill when these ILLEGAL bastards run up their debt and other card members have their APR go up to balance out all the money lost.  Geez.  I swear, anyone that says these people are less burden than what they provide are retarded.  I'm still waiting for a response to my plan on how to run this society if we booted these assholes out. 

"Bottom line...If you have hate in your heart let it out! Who's against illegal credit cards?  If you have hate illegals and their bullshit, it doesn't mean there's a problem with you....it mean's there's a problem with Pedro."

Cap:
Should I just sign over all my money and future earnings to these fuckers now or wait a few years?
