Bank of America launches credit card for illegal immigrants

[mawilson 2,133]

Giving a credit card to someone here illegally does have a negative impact, it accomodates their pressence here illegally.

Your argument is false. Illegals have not ever left because they can't have a bank account or credit card. Most do not get a bnak account or credit card. What, exactly is it, that you see is the impact of this BofA decision?

I think his argument ("by giving ANY kind of Aid to illegal Aliens does effect you & Me & everyone")

is to make daily life here unbearable for the illegals so they would all just pack up and leave.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to do so without making life unbearable for everyone else as well.

I for one do not want to live in a society where I have to "show my papers" whenever I go to

the post-office or a grocery store, and where the police can stop people at random to check

their "legal status".

I never said they would leave by not being given Bank account, I simply pointed out it is One More benefit extended to them that they should not have. And do Not deserve.

Illegal immigrants should not be allowed to put their children in public schools, should Not be given any kind of Govt. assistance and should not be allowed to open a bank account or given a credit card.

NO benefits, I am not saying they woul dleave if they were not givne that benefit but if they were deprived of all the above mentioned benefits which they already have then they woul dnot be so eager to come here illegally, if employers were prosecuted and if if once found to be illegal Illegal immigrants were deorteed with out delay then they would not come here as easily.

if you continue feeding wild animals they will return to where the food is if you stop providing food then they will be forced to move on.

I never stated they would pack up and leave, i am pointing out that allowing them to remain here hurts those here LEGALLY.

Threaten our childrens education, threatens the security of our nation

I know they wont leave, they steal and give nothing back why would they leave. They are given rewards for criminal behavior. The US Govt. is inept at securing its own border what makes Bush think he can Secure Iraq!

They shoul dnot be given any aid or benefit.

Addie, I'm serious -- you want to secure our borders? Then let them have ID cards and

driver's licenses and bank accounts. Then you can monitor the flow of money and trace

criminal activity to its source. It's a lot easier to monitor a bank account than to track

anonymous cash transactions.

were that the truth, we'd not have a horde of drug dealers in the usa, eh?

I don't get it. Are you saying that drug dealers routinely use bank accounts

to transfer money to Colombia, yet we've failed to catch them?

whether they transfer money to columbia or timbuktoo, we've apparently not had much success in catching them, have we?

[mawilson 2,133]

whether they transfer money to columbia or timbuktoo, we've apparently not had much success in catching them, have we?

Probably because they aren't dumb enough to use U.S. bank accounts to conduct their "business".

Also because the best drug policy is decriminalization.

kinda ruins your "Then you can monitor the flow of money and trace criminal activity to its source. " idea eh?

the same would apply for illegals too.

Charles - most illegals are hard working people who came here for a better life -

equating them to drug dealers, armed robbers and other violent offenders is simply

ludicrous.

If they do break the law at some point, however, their bank accounts would make it

easier to find them.

So then why monitor them at all?

[mawilson 2,133]

So then why monitor them at all?

Just in case our government decides to go after them at some point.
