Bank of America
« on: February 14, 2007, 03:59:22 PM »
I have done business with Bank of America for well over twenty years, tomorrow morning I will take action to stop all business dealings with them.

DEAR OPPONENTS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION,

Forward this email to everybody you think might want to protest the Bank of America's latest program to improve the "quality of life" of illegal aliens in this country.

NumbersUSA will pay the phone charges, for as many Americans who wish, to send faxes off our website saying that they won't do business with Bank of America until it stops aiding and abetting illegal aliens.

Tell all of your friends to go to:

www.NumbersUSA.com

On the home page, they (and you) can click on FAX CONGRESS FREE to send a free protest fax to the Bank of America.

A large percentage of NumbersUSA's 250,000-plus members appear to be outraged at the news that the Bank of America is intentionally offering credit to improve the "quality of life" of illegal aliens. (You can see more detailed stories on our website.)

You have pressed us for two days to offer faxes to the Bank.

OK, but if you want to have any real effect on this giant institution, you are going to have to try to get tens of thousands of other folks to send faxes, too.

It is up to you whether this becomes a grassroots phenomenon or just another outrage allowed to pass into public acceptability.  in this email:
1. Other ways to contact Bank officials

2. The Bank's side of the story

actions in brief:
1. Let others know of the free opportunity to let Bank of America know how they feel -- forward this email.

2. Please send a free fax to your U.S. Representative asking him/her to co-sponsor H.R. 938. It would eliminate Chain Migration which is the No. 1 reason immigration has quadrupled to more than a million a year from the 250,000 of traditional annual averages and the 1950s and 1960s. You'll see the free fax when you click to see the fax to the Bank.

THE BANK'S SIDE OF THE STORY


Bank officials have been quoted saying that they aren't trying to make a political statement on immigration policy but just trying to make a buck.

Money is their aim, they say, to increase profits by providing financial credit for what they call the great "untapped" market of potential customers among the illegal population in the United States.

"These people are coming here for quality of life, and they deserve somebody to give them a chance to achieve that quality of life," says Brian Tuite, the bank's director of Latin America card operations, who hopes the illegal aliens will be able to buy homes, cars, furniture and anything else it takes to settle down permanently in this country.

The Bank's effort directly undercuts federal Attrition Through Enforcement & Self-Deportation programs designed to make the quality of life low enough and uncomfortable and unpredictable enough that illegal aliens pay their own way to go back home.

Many in Grassroots America feel that the Bank of America needs to be made an example for the rest of corporate America lest the temptation of pure, unpatriotic greed drive other businesses to abandon the American people and the rule of law, as well.

Good luck in circulating this opportunity,

-- ROY

Are the big wigs at BOA on crack or something... "Hey, here's a great idea... lets give credit cards to people who are in this country illegally and are probably using fake names and IDs!"   ::) 

Of course when the illegals default on their credit card payments BOA will go to the banking commission and ask to be allowed to jack up every body's interest rates because of their huge losses..

I talked to my lawyer at the barber shop yesterday, he said there is a possibility that someone may take a shot at BOC for "aiding and Abetting" criminal activity.  According to him it could be done by any State , County, or City District Attorney. It is a fine line, but often without the credit the illegal may not be able to sustain themself from payday to payday. 

He also said, since most of the illegals are using assumed names it would be hard to refuse them in some cases.  BUt this will aalso lead to additional problems wwhen attempting to collect on unpaid bills.  Bopttomline, it is the greedy big business Americans that make it dessireable to come to America in the first place.

So true,,,and how would they ever track them dowm when they default or skip town?
By now it should be dawning on most Americans that illegal immigrants have a 'special' status above citizens and be asking why is this the case.

Yup, that's why it's a good idea to discontinue doing business with them. If they're holding on to money for you, they may not be solvent when you need it. Best case scenario is that the reliable customers will end up footing the bill for the known fraudsters, in the form of higher fees.
