It is all about MONEY.
Until the Federal Government steps in and tells them they must stop they see it as an avenue for more business and therefore more money or profit.
I do not think they should get the same as Citizens but it happens every day. We have all kinds of non-profit organizations fueled by our tax dollars, that help these illegals exist and have a better life here. I was on a board of a non-profit family resource center. They started out helping all the community and then turned to the illegals mostly Mexicans. They bent over backwards to get them free food, clothes, medical, cars, jobs, and even counseling. Some of our local poor can not afford counseling yet these Mexicans were getting as much as they needed for free. How does that make sense. The director (making $80,000 a year) and the many employees all were Mexicans or Central Americans all working to help these people instead of sending them back to their country of origin. Each year this group would get Government Money of about $500,000 to One Million to help a small community of 25,000 people. They even got private donations too. Most of this money came from submitting GRANTS and they had the best writer.
When does this stop?
What do we do for our poor that are residents of this country?
Why do these illegals get so much help?
We need to push our Government to find out.

They are a multicountry global bank, doing business in Mexico as Bank of Mexico. They simply would give these people loans in Mexico and want the interest they can get off of credit cards from them in the US. They don't care that they are part of facilitating illegals to stay here, because they will be making money.
Capitalism at work.
There is a law being drafted to stop this, but as for me, I'll just move my accounts to where they won't fund this kind of investment.

Again I'm finding big business is selling us out. I'm referring to Bank of America's decision to provide credit cards for illegal immigrants. They will need no social security number only a payroll ID number (for three months). Then they can obtain credit at a high interest rate--I believe 21.9% was quoted.
I have had a credit card with another bank, who has merged with Bank of America, for about 10 years and I don't believe my rate is much lower. My card was obtained as it was affiliated with the university from which I am an alum--some part of purchases through the credit card go back to your university.
I remember when I obtained my card--I needed a SS#, mother's maiden name, yearly income etc. and I am a legal citizen. BofA says they are not breaking any laws. That might not be as they have found a loop hole. However, they are aiding and abetting illegal immigrants and making it easier for them to remain here.
And that is a federal felony.
We need to discontinue perks such as this as well as free education, in-state tuition, free healthcare etc. So I took action and I hope you will do the same. I called the local Bank of America and expressed my displeasure with them.
Then I called my old bank and verified that they had merged with BofA and then requested to cancel my credit card. During the process, the employee asked for the last four digits of my SS#. I asked her what would happen if I said I didn't have one -- she was at a total loss for words.
I also called my university, informed them and asked them to evaluate their business links. Most universities subscribe to this type of credit card promo. If yours does, make your voice known -- it could have a big impact!

It's all about greed. This is another way a business has found to exploit the illegal immigration problem while denying reasonable and similar services to citizens. I think they need to be stopped. I also don't think we should wait until the government does something. That might take a while or it might be never. Anyone opposed to what they are doing should visit the FIRE Coalition website and participate in Operation Bankrupt.

The American citizens will be forced to pay for the illegal aliens who wont pay back their loans and CC. I think any and all LEGAL citizens should jump ship so that Bank of America can lie in their bed that they made before their interest rate goes beyond the roof.
I think that this should be illegal for Bank of America to do.

Banks are only interested in making money. This bank will be losing quite a bit of money.

money! They expect to get money from the illegal alien criminals. They didn't expect their current customers to be so upset. I assume they will continue with this hair-brain scheme until they realize that they will loose more than they will gain. However, they will spin it so they don't look bad.
