Ain't no way this will pass, it will get some momentum then people will start screaming racism (without know what the word means) or "hate speech" or some other nonsense.

Still at least some politician is at least trying. I just can't believe anyone would bank with BOA after their announcement.

Sheesh--it's called CAPITALISM (they're in business to make money--I thought this was what you guys were all for)

Make up your minds already!

Precisely. If they are here illegally they should not be able to apply for credit cards, bank accounts, drivers licenses, college, etc.

What's illegal about what BofA wants to do? If it is illegal now, why do we need a bill to make it so?

How do these people know who an illegal Alien or undocumented person is? Isn't there a reasonable requirement to know who owns the bank account. Maybe Mafia people or American Criminals can get bogus bank accounts too.

breaking the law isn't capitalism that I support. So take your hyperbole elsewhere

the problem with making money off illegal citizens is that they are illegal to begin with.

War isn't illegal.

And yes I know what you are getting at, is it possible for a thread to go more than one page without one of you turning it into a Bush/Iraq war thread?

Financial institutions already block illegal immigrant?s access from getting credit cards. They have been doing this for years. If you look at BOA?s Credit Card application it will ask you if you are a U.S. Citizen. If you walk into a BOA local branch and apply for a CC they ask you for a LPR card etc. However, I must say that I?m not sure if they know how to access if that documentation is correct or not. If you also lie on your CC app I?m not sure if they have the ability to check. I?m pretty liberal when it comes to illegals but as far as Credit Cards go they shouldn?t be able to get them. They could simply lie and give wrong information. Somehow get a card. Do a cash advance for the full credit line and jump back into Mexico.

You know exactly what he was insinuating, to say otherwise means you are a fool or just dishonest.

You, sir are simply trolling.

I was responding to a troll. But apparently you can't see what Dahunan was referring to when he responed to a post about illegal activity under the guise of capitalism with "sort of like War?" That, would be trolling, responding to him is not trolling.

In case you haven't noticed, this whole board is a waste of time, no one changes their opinions here and most thread devolve into flame wars. If you consider this valuable time then I really do feel sorry for you.

This is a good start. Next they need to shut down the ever-slimy IMF.

Wow. Banks are issuing cards to illegal aliens? They must have a decent record of paying off the cards or else the banks wouldn't give them out.
Sort of undrecuts the presumption many people have of the irresponsible illegal aliens.

*It was quasi-trolling (my comment) BUT.. you guys need the truth thrown at you 10,000 times before you seem to care ;)

I will troll less..

As far as I know, they are only issuing collateralized credit cards.

Still seems odd to me though. Whats the point of a collaterlized credit card, besides building credit, which I wouldn't think an illegal would care about.

Morally questionable actions and capitalism go hand in hand. This is no worse than other actions.

What illegal activity is happening here? The banks are following the law, otherwise there would be no point in the bill being called for.

won't work. Credit card companies are global corporations not necessarily tied by allegiance to any country. They have no concept of "legal" or "illegal". Every person in the world is a potential customer to them.

banks and credit card companies DO NOT want you to EVER pay off your balance.
