Bank of America is testing a pilot program in about 50 of its Los Angeles banks in which a special credit card is available to people with no credit history and no Social Security number. The marketing push is mostly aimed at the growing Hispanic population. The bank is allowing immigrants to use individual taxpayer identification numbers issued by the IRS, or their “matricula consular,” identification provided by Mexican consulates. While the credit limit is typically $500 and the card carries a high interest rate, the program meets the needs of a potentially huge market composed primarily of undocumented immigrants.
This program has called into question the ethics of U.S. companies marketing products to those who are here illegally.

If you could see me now, I am shaking my head! Sad just sad, I guess if you can not be a legal American. You can feel like an American… In debt up to your eye balls! “Scotty beam me up, there appear to be no intelligent life on this planet!”.
Yeah but all they have to do is head back South and not worry about it. Or get a new illegal identity.
I will never use BOA for that reason, they’ve been catering to the illegal community for a long time now.
To heck with things like civilization; there’s nothin’ like good old fashioned greed!
Remember that the next time you think of doing business with BOA.
Tomorrow I’m going to close all my B of A accounts, credit cards etc …. I just know in the long term this would cost me if I stayed with B of A.
Lots of Bank choices — Which is the best choice? I’m in Mulvane.
Democracy + Capitalism =
Freedom to be Greedy.
There is a market for small loans at high interest rates. Once the “do-gooders” get rid of payday loans, someone else will step in. Seems like B of A is just getting a jump on it.
Pure business…that the stockholders of B of A will applaud.
I have a bit of a problem with this although I am pretty liberal on immigration. The problem I have is this- if a terrorist sneaks into the country and uses one of these cards to buy an airplane ticket and blows the plane up is BOA going to be responsible for this? I personally don’t deal with giant monster banks myself. My job has a credit union.
Kev brings up an interesting point about liability, but no, i don’t think they will be held responsible.
Until recently I had the, kick em out attitude until someone asked me, “who will do the work if they are gone?”. I than realized, im not going to pave a road or work in a meat packing plant or what ever…
So, that brings up an interesting point. There are only about what, less than 1000 homeless/jobless people in Wichita? There are probably 5 times that in illegal’s working here. So, what do we do? How do we replace that workforce? This is a step to making these illegal people legal. Things like making English the ONLY language for government and day to day life.
Now the illegals will be charging up to the limit of their cards and then walking away from it by changing their name and social security numbers. Then you and I will be charged extra to pay off these uncollectables. Have we totally lost it in this country? When are we going to quit passing the buck. An illegal is illegal and should not have any benifits in the USA. Deport them. They are breaking our laws and we are just patting their hands. I am not a liberal — I am realistic. We do not need more laws, we just need to enforce what we have.

If someone really wants to change banks I would recommend a local State Bank.
The service is a lot better. They remember your name, call you if there is a problem. Their loan regulations are a little looser.
Hank
Bank of America will suffer for this.
Oh and Tony? Americans did the jobs the illegals now do before. They will do them again. Dif is the employers will be FORCED to pay a decent wage. They will do so gladly or rightly go out of business.
Prison for those who coddle invaders.
Ship the invaders out.
In one month there will be 50 LA Banks hiring bilingual collectors to go out and collect on all the past due maxed out cards.
all that I can see in this page. is racist. Inmigrants are getting back what it’s theirs. in 50 years your son or grand son will need to speak spanish to survive in this country. and now you going to be strangers.
gracias.
“Immigrants are getting back what it’s theirs.”
Yeah?
Let ‘em start with fixing their own screwed up country instead of invading and destroying mine.
Bank America customers will end up paying for this so I will be moving my personal and business accounts to a local Kansas owned bank tomorrow.I can’t wait to see the face of the BofA manager. Greedy bastards
Foss it isn’t about racism, for some it may be but for the rest of us it is not.
The illegal immigrant problem is hurting all of us. We have a right to defend our cultural way of life, our jobs.
If things in Mexico are so bad, go fix it. Stop coming here and demanding we cater to illegals. If you want to be American, by all means, do it the legal way.
I would assume that BoA has developed screening proceedures to determine credit-worthiness. Obviously they are in business to make money and thus would not be doing this if they thought it would lose money. Therefore it would seem that there is a significant population of illegals who are earning a sufficient income to support this.
Hank – I’m with you. For many years it has been my practice to open an account with a mid-sized local institution. I have found service to be infinitely better than at the mega-banks.
Bank on America It is a bussines. and has nothing todo with your poor way of close mind thinking. if you going to close your account in Bank of america just because the inmigrants, that is fine, there will be 10 more INMIGRANTS that really wants to make bussines.
All right Foss — glad you made it past customs ok — now please go get a B of A card and take some english reading and writing classes.
And don’t forget to pay your bill…
see all I see is racism and then on sunday you go to church. yea right. I can improve my reading and writing english with one class. but you will not be able to stop being racist. first were the blacks now us.
foss – get legal – or get out.
Foss, maybe you can improve with one class, but you can’t perfect it in that short of time. You’ll still sound like an uneducated Hispanic that is here illegally.
you are right I’m hispanic, but you are wrong, i’m educated. and I,m citicen. I speak two lenguages. probably you only one. so I think you are the one who needs education. and please don’t make me hate white people.
Looks like some folks have realized the fate of one who assumes….
how do you spell assume?
“ASS of U and ME”
I suspect BofA has already “discounted” to use a phrase the possible loss of accounts in making its decision to implement its pilot program. I suspect the default rate will not be as high as some expect, as the last thing an undocumented person wishes is to call attention to him/herself. Sounds like a business decision, straight up; and one, I suspect, will prove successful for BofA and its stockholders.
I read an article that said all BOA requires is a bank account with BOA that has no overdrafts for 3 months if the illegal has no credit history. How do you get a checking account w/o a social secrity card? Every bank/CU I’ve ever dealt with requires SS# AND a photo ID. What really scares me is the increased possibility of identity theft. The other thing I wonder about is why illegals should have special rules that make it easier for them to obtain credit than for citizens. There are many banks that offer high fee, interest cards, but that still require numerous IDs
paralgl, wonder if BoA is allowing checking accounts to be established with the ITIN/consular id that it is using for the credit card program? Your concerns over the program as to identity theft are similar to mine; however, if BoA is truly meeting the requirements of various statutes, etc., as it claims, there seems to be no law-based impediment to its program.
Foss – usted es un traidor a su causa, usted es que habla y que escribe inglés.
Foss, in your own community, legal hispanics are against illegal immigration in large numbers too. So are you saying they’re racist against themselves?
You’re hurting your own people- hispanics making below poverty only increases those who wish to get violent and steal, which may be ok in your culture, but not here.
There are so many things that are culturally taboo here that are ok in Mexico. From how your culture treats women to child rape and theft. Instead of wanting to assimiliate, illegals are kept on the outside, and are more likely to think of themselves as Mexicans rather than Americans. And that is a problem.
You can’t see how these problems only create more animosity towards hispanics who really do want to come here to become American. It SHOULD be something to work for, and it shouldn’t just be handed to a bunch of people who made a run for the border.
a legal citizen would not need the BOA to make exceptions for them. BOA is only hurting them more.
Just for the record, how would you feel about the US invading Mexico and taking over?
“The U.S. invades and takes over Mexico”That sounds like a great ideal Political_Mom, it would only be only be what- some three times that we have done that in the past.Except this time we should make it for good and kick out those European Spaniards.
“or work in a meat packing plant or what ever…”
35-40 years ago, the meat packing plants in Emporia had no problem finding employees. They were college kids. I know several who worked there.
Foss, I’m hardly a racist. The best friends of my 2 oldest daughter’s in school were half Mexican. Another daughter is now engaged to a half Mexican. I’m not into the race thing.
All,My knee-jerk reaction was to kick them all out, but I realized that doing so would be not only financially unfeasable (imagine the cost of rounding them all up, only to have them return) but impossible.
My main objection is not the jobs, but the fact that they are here illegally. If I do something illegal, I pay the fine, go to jail, or whatever the consequences are. As a whole, they don’t.
But I also know that there are some bad guys working in immigration. True story: A Mexican wanted to come into the U.S. legally, filled out the paperwork, paid the $5000. The immigration official “lost” the paperwork and told the immigrant he would have to start from scratch. The man did, only to have it happen again. He ended up paying a couple of hundred and sneaking in, illegally.
If the above is happening often (and I suspect it might be), then something needs to be done. I don’t have a problem with legal immigration, but if that situation is legal, Houston, we have a problem.
I’d like to see work visa’s for those wanting to work here, with the option for citizenship after a set number of years. Those people applying should be required to become proficient in English within a period of time. And the employers of such should be required to pay minimum wage.
Go after the people who are the true shafters of the American people. The ones who pay cheap and under the table, enabling illegals.
Wells Fargo has an even worse set up. They have a complete group set up to give out HOME MORTGAGES to illegals who will likely be deported and then YOU will have to pick up the tab.
Someone with bucks needs to use a piece of the 1996 immigration act that allow private citizens to initiate a RICO action against these companies as a Racketeering org. for furthering a criminal enterprise. Then include their top stockholders as party to the suit. If we could get their enablers in court and get a Tobacco size settlement or seize some of these companies assets it might get their attention.
I complained to B of A about this action. Their email response stated that this was a test program, open to current account holders. These account holders must have, either an SSA number or taxpayer id number, from the Federal Gov’t.
Oh, I forgot! They didn’t specify any race, other than Hispanic. I guess all others, need not apply???

Vaughn, I suspect you are right! I worked for a doctor’s office doing insurance and billing…and the patients of “questionable immigration status” always paid their bill or made arrangements to do so…I’m not sure I agree with the premise in the first place, but I’m not sure default is the right reason to fear the decision.
Foss, how far did you get in school because your lack of proper spelling tells a lot about you. Big deal you speak 2 languages. I’m fortunate that I don’t have to because I live in a country where I belong.
Hey, giving illegal aliens credit cards is the first step in making them true Americans- up to their eyeballs in debt, just like the rest of us!
Hey, giving illegal aliens credit cards is the first step in making them true Americans- up to their eyeballs in debt, just like the rest of us!
Let’s see If I have this right. I get a card, max it out, skip back to Mexico, come back with new numbers and name, max this card out, skip back to Mexico, return with new numbers and name and so on and so on and so on. Hells Bells Folks, where do you sign up????????????? I want in on a deal like that!!!!!!!!
foss is a fake. No question about it.
Why, should illegals be entitled to special rules?
That question is for Foss!
“The other thing I wonder about is why illegals should have special rules that make it easier for them to obtain credit than for citizens. There are many banks that offer high fee, interest cards, but that still require numerous IDs”
A CLEAR violation of the Equal Protection Clause. Giving preference to a class of perple that is basically race based and based on illegal undocumented illegal residents.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
“paralgl, wonder if BoA is allowing checking accounts to be established with the ITIN/consular id that it is using for the credit card program?”
YES they are allowing these to be used as ID.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
“My main objection is not the jobs, but the fact that they are here illegally. If I do something illegal, I pay the fine, go to jail, or whatever the consequences are. As a whole, they don’t.”
ANOTHER Equal Protection Violation. ALL American Citizens have to obey the laws, whey the hell would an illegal alien get protected or preferred status?

“I’d like to see work visa’s for those wanting to work here, with the option for citizenship after a set number of years. Those people applying should be required to become proficient in English within a period of time. And the employers of such should be required to pay minimum wage.”
That is exosting immigration law currently. It is just not enforced.

“Someone with bucks needs to use a piece of the 1996 immigration act that allow private citizens to initiate a RICO action against these companies as a Racketeering org. for furthering a criminal enterprise. Then include their top stockholders as party to the suit.”
TRUE! That is how the some of the first SUPERFUND lawsuits were set up for illegal dumping of hazardous chemicals.
BTW, since they are illegal, we here are assuming that each person will only apply for only one card. Why stop at one fake identity? Why not be Juan Gonzales, and Hector Chavez, and Jose Lopez. Open 4 accounts with 4 bogus numbers and 4 identities, put $250 into 4 accounts, pay the high fee, charge the cards up 4 time $500 max equals $2000, then withdrawl your money. Viola, you have a 200% increase infunds. Go to another town, and start up with another BoA. Except this time get 5 accounts, and get 3 or 4 acounte each for all the kids!
This is a disaster just waiting to happen.
The marketing wiz’s at the top looked at the “Total numbers” and did not evaluate the risk.
I hope BoA let’s this colossal screwup data out once it is known. It sure would change the way business view this “Expanding market” worth. Hell most of these people send their money back to Mexico.
illegal immigrants are not a race of people .. just a person that has illegally entered to USA..NOT racist..Mexican is not a race of people . but a person that is from mexico…not racist.Hispanic is a race of people…
all these empty shipping containers . fill them with illegals. I’m sure China could use 12 million or so cheap workers..
All the nut-wingers on this system rail against payday and title loan lenders for exploiting the poor, of which these illegal immigrants undooubtedly compose at least some part.
Then a legitimate bank develops a program to allow a group of poor people to borrow money without paying payday loan rates.
But that is denouced too.
Would nothing satisfy the left-nut-wingers?
I don’t mind if those who come here do so legally. And I do think we need to make it easier to come and work for legal status.
It should not merely be handed out. They should speak English and be willing to follow the rules and laws of our country.
By the way, all you left-nutists swithcing the direct deposit of your welfare checks to somewhere else probably isn’t going to hurt Bank of America too much.
Left? Are you kidding? This isn’t a left/right thing. Most hardline right wingers are the ones who want NO immigration period, except for the business owners because they benefit from teh slave wages they pay.
I think one poll showed something like 80% of Americans agree that stopping illegal immigration is what we need to do. That is not a left/right issue, that’s an AMERICAN issue.

Becareful with the names here and the stereotyping there.
Do something about the WHITE American employers……
To even advocate anything else is hypocrisy.
They will not come to America if there are no jobs to be had. Arrest those that hire them, take their businesses, impound their property, fine them until their grandchildren feel it.
We will continue to have a problem with illegal aliens until something is done about the people that hire them.
Everything else is just talk.
Sheesh Tyler you must have arguements with yourself!
I do think that is the most atypical political disposition I’ve ever heard!
Blaming employers for hiring illegals is like blaming beermakers for alcoholics. Sure, the employers are responsible for hiring legal workers – but you are assume that the workers are being honest. Yeah, right … why don’t people hold illegals responsible for being illegal? That’s who’s really at fault.
And the argument about “illegals taking back what was theirs” is about as asinine a statement that I’ve ever heard. Most mexicans forget that they are NOT direct descendants of the mayans and aztecs. Didn’t the Spaniards land in Mexico? In the Americas? Is it because they were here before anyone else in the southern and western U.S. that gives you the “right” to claim the territories? Nothing like an illegal to demand a handout, eh?
Sheesh Tyler you must have arguements with yourself!
I do think that is the most atypical political disposition I’ve ever heard!
Well, JR – except for the right-wing part (I’m a centrist independent), I agree with most of Tyler’s positions. We don’t argue with ourselves. Just make independent evaluations issue by issue. People like us truly are not ruled by left or right wing pundits.
If the Mexican govt publishes pamphlets telling their citizens how to enter the US illegally, what makes people think fraudulent consular IDs cannot be obtained? They have no trouble coming up with fake SS numbers.
“Sheesh Tyler you must have arguements with yourself!

Thank you JR. I do not fit in either party, although I am a Goldwater Conservative (which the current crop of Republicans are not) and the Democratic Party has a SMALL portion of Conservatives, the majority is not.
Additionally bible banger does not = conservative, soically maybe, but not politically. Trying to establish religion in the classroom is not a conservative value.

“Do something about the WHITE American employers……”
Mr. Clark, THAT is an ANTI white and a VERY RACIAL statement. Cornejo and Sons is one of the largest illegal employers in the Wichita Area. Most “Construction Companies” and “Restoration and Renovation Companies” that the locals hire are illegal alien employers, and the bosses and owners are usually Latino or Hispanic. They help them get the “papers” to work.
They are using and abusing their own people.
YEs Common Sense, and the territories in Texas the “Tejanos” and California the local natives “revolted” against the Mexican Government at that time. They sided with the new anglo-Americans in the 1820’s to the 1840’s to fight Mexico for re-writing the Mexican Constitution and taking away rights from those people. THAT is why the area is NOT in Mexico’s control and not part of Mexico. The losers ALWSAYS want their land back, but those that came before, the anglos, the african, and the natives bothe Native American and Native Sowesterner latino in those areas fought AGAINST Mexico.
That is the truth. Check out Wiki on “American Texas” and “Mexican Texas”.
The truth will show the light.
“but you are assume that the workers are being honest”
Bullshit! That is absolute nonsense. Every employer has an obligation to VERIFY that the person they are hiring is a bona fide citizen or LEGAL alien.
Verification is not a matter of trust or assuming that an applicant is being honest. Furthermore, verification is not nearly as difficult as potential employers may suggest. All it takes is state issued picture ID and a valid SS card.
Yes both those documents can be forged, but it is simple to double check them for employment. That is the point – it is EASY to double check documentation if you WANT to.
People that blame the entire problem of illegal immigration on the aliens are just giving a free pass to the people that hire them.
The problem is not going to go away until the employers are made to pay for their violations of the law.

“Cornejo and Sons is one of the largest illegal employers in the Wichita Area.”
… and how would you KNOW that, Durden? Do you have information that should be shared with INS?
If Cornejo and Sons are knowingly hiring illegal aliens, they should be shutdown and imprisioned.
But I think that you are just speading a rumor because the company is owned by Hispanics.
…and I stand by my statement – do something about the WHITE American employers.
The Right Wing regularly strokes their oars about individuals taking personal responsibility. To hear the Rush O’Hannities, you would think that personal responsibility was a virtue exclusive to the Right.
So why is it, when you suggest holding employers PERSONALLY responsible for the legality of the people they hire, they start with the excuses?
Verifying legal status is not difficult. There is no such thing as a fake SS Number. A fake number will kick out of the verification system. A fraudulent number will show a different name than the photo ID. The photo ID can be double checked with the state that issued the documentation. It is not illegal or discriminatory to refuse to hire an individual if their citizenship or alien status cannot be verified.
So, the “Party of Personal Responsibility” has to live up to it’s name, just as all employers must.
Verify the legality of the people you hire or go to jail.
Mr. Clark with all due respect I actually agree with you (wonders never cease):
“Bullshit! That is absolute nonsense. Every employer has an obligation to VERIFY that the person they are hiring is a bona fide citizen or LEGAL alien.
Verification is not a matter of trust or assuming that an applicant is being honest. Furthermore, verification is not nearly as difficult as potential employers may suggest. All it takes is state issued picture ID and a valid SS card.

Bravo, Bravo.
On this your wisdom and brilliance is very much luminescant!
You are correct again:
“Verifying legal status is not difficult. There is no such thing as a fake SS Number. A fake number will kick out of the verification system. A fraudulent number will show a different name than the photo ID. The photo ID can be double checked with the state that issued the documentation. It is not illegal or discriminatory to refuse to hire an individual if their citizenship or alien status cannot be verified.”
And again:
“So, the “Party of Personal Responsibility” has to live up to it’s name, just as all employers must.
Verify the legality of the people you hire or go to jail.”
In total agreement on all those points.
Hat’s off to you Mr. Clark.
And the Cubs win the World Series!
I must share with you all that my stance on illegal labor has changed since I first darkened this blog with my presence.This BofA issue is not the only reason. A hard freeze in January which destroyed all of our county’s (or 85%) citrus crop will leave many farm workers (mostly illegals) unemployed in 2007.The UFW is calling on the state for unemployment benefits for the illegals.I’ve come to what is the simplest and most logical conclusion.The thing about illegal immigration is – it is illegal. All involved in the process from the worker themselves to employer to those offering benefits (BofA) are law breakers.As with any criminal, they need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The practice of SLAVERY is alive and well today!Power over the people is about commodity and the commodity is laborers.BoA is just taking care of their investments, like a good Slave master should.Isn’t it interesting that we have a slave system today in these times after 141 years of being abolished?
My mother recently couldn’t open a CD at B of A. She is a resident alien and has lived in this country since 1963. She carries her Social Security and Resident Alien card with her at all times and has held numerous high paying jobs and has several graduate-level degrees. I’m sure that is much more than any of these illegals with the ID they bought on the corner on the way into the bank.They said that they considered her a flight risk and could skip out on any monies owed to B of A.She wasn’t as flustered as I was for her, she said her life had been like that since she arrived in this country.I think that’s sad.
Wiseman:I concur with your last post. My term for illegal immigratin in America is “Slavery Lite.”
Corporate Greed and Betrayal
Another one of America’s corporate giants has decided that their only loyalty is to be to the bottom line. Like other US corporations that have recently been shown to encourage illegal immigration while taking advantage of the illegals, Bank of America has redefined the term “Corporate Citizenship.”
In a show of corporate greed and questionable banking practices B of A has decided that the requirement of a social security card is a hindrance to commerce, and the lack of one entitles B of A to otherwise undeserved profits at the expense of their “extralegal” customers. B of A has placed their future, and that of its thousands of employees and investors, in the hands of those with no legal rights, no traceable ties, no credit history, and no requirement to pay off the credit they have been given in this Race for the Gold.
Don’t kid yourself. That’s what it is. It’s a race by corporate America to see who can best rip off the illegal aliens while encouraging them to invade our country in ever-increasing numbers.
Illegals are desirable because they’re cheap and disposable labor to the ones doing the hiring. To the rest of us they are depressing wages, overtaxing government infrastructure, causing a drain on hospitals and schools, causing an increase in drugs, criminal activity, and gang violence, overfilling prisons, and shortening the life of our Social Security system. They create slums by living communally in single family dwellings. They breed like rabbits on Viagra and refuse to assimilate into our culture. The American way of life is getting drowned in an illegal alien flood, and B of A is seeding the clouds.
What happens once enough of them default on their new-found credit to endanger Bank of America? Well, that’s what FDIC is for. Soon a new flood of bankruptcies, defaults, and insolvencies will erupt to drain the life from the American System and add to the burden of the working class.
How does this new policy effect the security of our nation in this time of terrorism threats from across the world? In their view, Bank of America’s need for profit outweighs the country’s need for security. With this myopic view in place, they open wide a door for those who wish destruction on our way of life. No longer is it necessary to get a Social Security Card in order to blend in. The aspiring terrorist or illegal alien need merely deposit some money in one of B of A’s many branches, wait a few weeks, and Voila! Instant Legitimacy! How many terrorists will take advantage of this untraceable source of funds and readily available form of ID? And how many doors will be opened by these credit cards that should be barred to all but legal citizens?
Shame on you, Bank of America. The people that have made you great deserve better from you.
jim g.why would you say they are getting back what is theres.they are taking what is not theres, some one name from other states dead people.and we are already in trouble as americans we have sto speak spanish to get a job.and that is not fare you should change your ways to live here not the other way.and as for that bank well i already clossed my acount and went some where els.
