Bank Robbers of America

Bank of America has joined the race to help devalue the American way. Their so-called “pilot program” that offers illegal immigrants credit cards is their way of saying, “We don’t care about Americans.”

I’m not against people of other nations — absolutely not. I am for the protection of our American culture, for upholding its laws and borders, and keeping the Great American Melting Pot from becoming a collection of bowls.

You come to America and you fit in. You don’t come in and expect special exceptions or privileges. You don’t go to the front of a line of people who are following the rules to enter our nation legally and planning to contribute to our society.

Working under the guise of compassion for people who have already broken the law to come here and say that they’re helping these people build their own financial freedom is something I find sickening.

Why not help the people who are here legally? Am I the only one who sees the glaringly obvious impact such efforts would have if they were simply focused on doing good for our own people?

Despite the outcry from concerned Americans, despite the 11,000 signatures the National Illegal Immigration Boycott Coalition says it has collected calling for a boycott, BoA has the audacity to say that they’re doing nothing wrong. In fact, they claim that they haven’t seen “any unusual business activity”. Well, the shows just starting folks and I anticipate they won’t be saying that for long.

BoA Chief Executive Kenneth Lewis said he was feeling passionate about the issue. He even defended the program and reaffirmed that they would continue the program, something that is supported by the Patriot Act.

Excuse me? The Patriot Act actually states that it’s okay to support illegal immigration? Look, I may have issues with some of the choices made in our government today, but in my heart of hearts I have to believe that they’re not stupid enough to write in a clause like that.

Lewis went on to say that illegals can obtain credit with other banks, and that BoA requires other sources of identification. If you ask me, if they don’t have the card that says, “I am an American”, they should call the authorities.

Oh and get this — a professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, James Angel, says that this program offers us a way to track illegals. Why are we bothering to track these people? We catch, we send them back home. Period.

The BoA said that they thought it premature to predict the outcome of their pilot. Once they’ve collected enough data, they’ll analyze it and then decide what next steps to take.

I find this comical. I read this and the image of a parent catching their child with their hand in the cookie jar blatantly saying to the parent, “No, I didn’t take any cookies.” They clearly think it’s better to look in control while doing something wrong, than to admit their guilt and correct it right then and there.
