Rapture Ready board in a lather over "illegals" getting credit cards
Edited on Mon Feb-19-07 07:32 PM by Bluebear
It must be a slow rapture day, people not getting new hairdos for the "Bridegroom" and such, that they are making such a caterwauling over Bank of America making credit cards available to "illegal aliens"! Born again racists. ---->

=====

Unfortunately people are loosing their common sense in today's society, as well as morality. Of course in these days of tolerance, God forbid that someone speaks out against immoral or illegal practices.

=====

My husband and I have had accounts at Bank of America for many years...but we are letting them know that we will be closing our accounts and moving to another bank. This is our money that they are planning on lending to illegal immigrants that could be shipped back to the country that they came from at any time, leaving us with the bill, and we dont appreciate it!

=====

I am seriously considering moving my banking from BOA. I am really offended at this double standard. (I'm a new grandma! Ask me anything!)

=====

I don't think the rest of the country realizes how bad it's going to get. Those of us who have been living out here know - and what gets me is that one day, they will outnumber American citizens in the American Southwest and Texas so much that a form of balkanization will occur. Already in the L.A. area, certain parts have already been turned into predominantly Spanish-only towns. Even locals who grew up here have said that the area is changing for the worse. Note: Why do you give a shit, aren't you going to be 'raptured'?

Assimilation?? Who is kidding who? They have no incentive nor do they care to assimilate. If they did, they would have already done it by now.

=====

i cannot even join in on the debate..
this world is so messed up---i get so angry and i feel helpless to stop the total and complete madness---

where is common sense??? it is getting overshadowed, overcome, and overwhelmed by the darkness of the delusion which is taking hold already in my opinion.

=====

I say give all the illegals credit cards then when they get the addresses of where they live go pick them up and send them back. Simple way to find out where they live!!!

I don't blame anyone in the world for wanting to move to the USA. We live in the greatest country in the worldshe has her faults but it is by far better than anywhere else!! BUT if you are coming to the USA do it legally, SPEAK ENGLISH ONLY, pay your taxes, abide by the laws and keep yourself up and not on our social services.

=====

Impossible. Illegal immigrants are honest, hardworking, law-abiding (except for breaking one discriminatory law ) people who pay their debts. They are here in this country to make a better life for themselves and are not interested in the hyperconsumerism that grips this country. yeah, right :rofl:

=====

and I agree about learning the language...but what I have come across here where I live, in a state where mexicans are quickly becoming the largest minority they either are as dumb as a stump, or they refuse to learn the language Or they do know it and try to play stupid with you...Its hard to have compassion for a group or groups of people who sneek in and start stealing from the law abiding citzen...and if you say they aren't stealing then you must be in that small percentage of grossly rich people who don't have a clue whats going in in middle america.. - bibblemommy

2. They Will Survive!
Somehow I think BofA will find a way to survive! I'm sure they're worried though... Yes, I am being sarcastic.

3. Someone should tell these asswipes that the money made from these
credit cards will go toward higher savings interests rates and lower borrowing rates. The money lost on defaulted cards will be written off with no loss to account holders. It's all up-side and no down-side, but it takes a person with a brain to see it. I used to work in banking. I had many Hispanic migrant workers as customers. You wouldn't believe how hard they work, how little they spend, and how much they save. It's just racism, pure and simple.

4. I have a different problem with it.
I see it as the bank taking advantage of a huge group of people who have no rights and will be too afraid to complain when they are hit with every penalty and fee the bank can come up with, and a few they haven't yet. Enslavement to the credit card companies is the last thing they need.

19. My first thought, also.
Along with the possibility of someone not understanding the language well enough to fully comprehend the 'fine print' that ensnares so many.

20. Oh the bank will hire a hispanic ad agency
to do the marketing/advertising in Spanish, never fear. These people will be targeted by the best in the business, with the same tactics that have ensnared so many that the average credit card debt in this country is presently around $9,000 per household, and climbing. Hispanics are a particularly tough market for the credit card companies, largely because they are savers, not spenders. But there are millions of them, and they are hard workers so the challenge is worth it.

23. Exactamundo
This is the 21st high tech treatment our own ancestors would have received had it been possible in the 19th century.

They are here specifically so we can have a low-end workforce with no rights. That's why we look the other way when they come over the border.

8. they are taking over Texas, huh, wah?
San Antonio is SIXTY percent Hispanic and ALWAYS has been. I'm a fifth generation Texan who happens to be of Mexican descent. I am so sick of this crap.

I'll tell you what, we just had the all-star weekend here in Las Vegas and I work a part-time job on the strip. I was shocked and appalled at the scumminess of AMERICANS. Unbelievably rude, trashy and just overall ignorant. There were over 200 incidents with the law in just two days for example.
Gun shots on the strip which never or very, very rarely happen, litter everywhere.

People need to stop picking on illegals. Sure you have your bad apples, that is due to ignorance but puhlease, Americans can be worse.

13. How do you get a credit card with no
SS card or credit record? Go ahead and call me a racist if you want but they are illegal immigrants they broke the law to get in this country. Immigrate to Mexico or any other Latin American country and see what kind of welcome you get.

If heaven is full of people like this, I bet God takes a lot of vacations!

14. BOA will own all banks soon.
So moving your account won't help.

Maybe we should tell them to stop typing and start praying! It's what GOD would want them to do.

17. when will they get it? Their republican heroes are more about business than they do about
the rapture.

Why do the low-men on the republican totem pole fail to see that no one cares what they think about who gets a credit card or that they hate "dialing 1 for English"? It's all about making money.
