They're allowing illegal immigrants
to get credit cards with the only
stipulation being that they had to of had
a bank acount with .B.O.A for atleast 3
months... No background check, no credit
check, nothing.
All to build their credit.

I heard that after they have established
some sort of credit (hence credit cards)
then they are allowing people to take out
mortgages. They don't require a ss# to do
this. Would they pay taxes on the houses?
I would think so since most of the time
taxes come out of mortgages.
What if they get caught being here
illegally and are made to leave the
country? If that happens a lot then I
think bank of america may have to
reexamine things because they would have
to foot the bill. There are a lot of
illegals in the country and it all boils
down to $$$ not ethics. Realistically,
they hardly get caught and made to leave.

I think they all should leave. I know if
I knew someone was here illegally I would
turn them in.

then if that happens the bank that issued
the mortgage funds owns the property that
the mortgage was secured on.
They can then sell that property to regain
their funds.

Try living in phoenix az area. There are
too many to turn in.
I worked in a school where so many of the
children had parents who were illegal. I
will never forget this man who was here
for 20 years legally, worked two to three
jobs and had four children. When he first
arrived, he immediately took english
classes. He only has a first grade
education as he needed to drop out of
school to work on a farm. One day, this
guy went to the school office and I
happened to be there. He was dying to
show someone something. It was the school
secretary and I who were the first to hear
and see the news: he had finally received
his paper that made him a legal us
citizen!! I will never ever forget his
story and that experience. He was in
tears showing us his paper. He told me
his story before he got his papers and he
worked so hard for 20 years. So, here is
a man who probably took years to come to
the us legally and then spent 20 years to
get his citizenship. After meeting him
and hearing his story, it makes me very
made when other people don't do what it
takes to come here legally and they still
get benefits. This man deserves to be
commended! Everyday he is around illegal
immigrants who get a lot of help yet he
works so hard for what he has.

I think it's wrong what boa is doing.
It's grossly unfair to us citizens. But
i'm not out to kick out all the illegals
like someone above said. Most of them
come here to work and no they are not
stealing jobs from us citizens. How
many us citizens do you know would come
here and pick lettuce (or some other
produce) for pennies per crate?
Certainly not me. I darn sure wouldn't
sign up to be a housekeeper either.
It's menial labor that I wouldn't touch.

I dont like bank of america in general,
they screwed my mum over and they are just
retarded....2 years ago I got about $2000
from my grandmas estate or whatever when
she died and I tried making an account
with them (everyone tells me they are so
great) but since I was under 18 it worked
like this, I had to wait at least a week
to be sure it cleared (standard procedure
apparently but it was a government check,
dur) then I could put all the money I
wanted to in the account, but I couldnt
take any out, only my mum could, so I
never got to spend any of my money, my mum
used it on the car (which wouldnt have
been bad had she asked me first) she isnt
good with money
bleh, they suck

I dont think they are stealing jobs fom
the us citizens but most us citizens will
not work .L cheapo. And if they were to
stop hiring the illegals then they would
have to pay decent money for someone to
work for them.

that's exactly what happened down here
with work after .Katrina.
Immigrants from .Mexico came in and would
beg contractors for jobs 1/4 of what would
be normally offered. So, of course, the
contractors jumped on it.
They only had to pay 5 dollars per hour as
opposed to 10-12 dollars.
The contractors then refused
to hire any other race besides .Mexican
because of the cheap price they could get
away with paying.
It got sooo bad down here that
.Immigration enforcers would pull up to
any .Home .Depot or local corner and get
no less than 50-100 illegal immigrants per
stop.
The contractors were the ones in the wrong
in this, but it really hurt the economy.

then instead of paying 79 cents for a head
of lettuce you can pay 2.79. Can't have
it both ways.

i would. I can't afford 2.79 for a head
of lettuce. So in that instance the
economy will be robbing me of the money
that I make to support my family. All
for a job that no one really wants anyway.
Now what sarah said, that's a real
issue. Not picking lettuce and
strawberries.
