Petition: Bank of America - Stop assisting Illegals!

Bank Of America: Stop Assisting Illegals! Background: Last year Bank of America started testing a program that would provide credit cards to individuals (usually illegal immigrants) that had no Social Security number or verifiable credit. The only condition was that they needed to maintain a checking account for at least 3 months, with no overdrafts. After testing in 5 L.A. area branches, the program was expanded to 51 branches in early February, 2007. Bank of America expects to release this ...

What Bank of (Anti)-America is doing is against the law and I hope that someone in Washington still has enough morals and decency about them to see that anyone involved in this, is prosecuted!I hope they are feeling all warm and fuzzy inside to know that they are extending a line of credit to potential terrorists, gangs, identity thieves, etc. to use against us for another attack.

Well Fargo also has this program going too! Wait until all these illegals start defaulting on their loans. Can't wait to see these banks try to find them! How dumb can a bank be? Or maybe how greedy??? Maybe its time for all US citizens to start a revolution! No one up in Washington seems to hear you now days! They're to busy with their own agendas! But they sure know where to find you when your taxes are due!

When they start to default on these cards who is going to pay. The US taxpayers of course. The American taxpayer always has to bail out US Banks when they screw up. Just look the way the Federal Reserve (which is a private entity owned by the US banks NOT A FEDERAL AGENCY) has kept interest rates artificially low so US banks can make record profits at our expense.

I agree that it's a sad day when we're arresting American police who aree protecting themselves and us against ILLEGAL aliens who are breaking the law, and THEY get thrown in jail. What is wrong with these idiot courts and the morons who are judges in them?

Guess I need to go shoppinig for a new credit card. BTW, why do I even bother trying to stop people from living here illegaly? There's so many waivers. Between the Mexican government and the families that sponsor this activity it's so far a losing battle.....

What in God's name is happening to the United States. These men are doing their jobs that they get paid to do and for what. I got paid working in a factory for 31 years and I did what what I was told. How dare these people in the courts for sending these precious workers to jail and prison. I am 67 and sick of this country. The illegals have MORE rights then people that was born and raised here. What the hell is wrong with this country????? Now you know why I closed out my Bank Of America last year and went elsewhere. Their people doesn't know what they are doing.


Why am I getting email news with the name of Craol????? Stop it please. My name is Carol

It took me over 10 years to get even a low limit credit card... and they make me give them EVERY piece of information I posess to get a bank account. And now they are handing out more to the Illegals? And giving them rights they shouldn't even posess either? If I was running drugs and shooting at Border Patrol, you can bet your bottom dollar that I would be in prison, with NO way out. What has this country come to?

I sent corporate B of A an email expressing my disappointment with their program. I also informed them I would be closing my account. I received NO response. I called the corporate office 800 #. You wind up in a loop that lets you hang on hold. Aftr 39 minutes I hung up. I called my local branch. I did get a teller who answered but when I was transferred to the branch manager no one picked up. This happened twice. I don't blame the employees they have a job just like we do. But we need a national boycott to shut them down. There were two guys on Fox today who closed their accounts and sent their credit cards back in tiny pieces. NO comment from Bank of A. They think they are operating within the law. Great way for the terrorists to move money. These illegals buy cars and drive with NO insurance, default on the loan and we wind up paying. The illegals are given mortgages and when they default we wind up paying. At least there are two in congress looking into the matter. If you bank at BofA, close the acct. Let's show them the power of LEGAL American citizens.

I guess the taxpayer will get stuck with bailing the banking system out. But if the liberals in Congress can steal our money and live by diferrent rules and apart from the ordinary taxpayer who cares if illegals bankrupt our schools, hospitals and social security sytem.

I am also appalled that the greed of Bank of America is so great that they would give credit cards to illegal immigrants. Shame on them and I will never do business with their company.

Why do we want illegals to gain MORE of a foothold here???? They are already taking up entitlementfunds that should go to handicapped people or working poor. Agree with the two above - everything is upside down & don't know what it will take to reverse the trend. Revolt - wake up America!!

I cut my Platinum Card in half, returned it to Bank of America with a note explaining why this honest citizen would no longer be adding to their coffers.
