THE BANK’S SIDE OF THE STORY
Bank officials have been quoted saying that they aren’t trying to make a political statement on immigration policy but just trying to make a buck.
Money is their aim, they say, to increase profits by providing financial credit for what they call the great “untapped” market of potential customers among the illegal population in the United States.
“These people are coming here for quality of life, and they deserve somebody to give them a chance to achieve that quality of life,” says Brian Tuite, the bank’s director of Latin America card operations, who hopes the illegal aliens will be able to buy homes, cars, furniture and anything else it takes to settle down permanently in this country.
The Bank’s effort directly undercuts federal Attrition Through Enforcement & Self-Deportation programs designed to make the quality of life low enough and uncomfortable and unpredictable enough that illegal aliens pay their own way to go back home.
Many in Grassroots America feel that the Bank of America needs to be made an example for the rest of corporate America lest the temptation of pure, unpatriotic greed drive other businesses to abandon the American people and the rule of law, as well.
Good luck in circulating this opportunity,
— ROY (Beck)
