"What's the real story about your boycott of Bank of America?
They're, BoA, are issuing credit cards to illegal aliens. Do you see the ramifications of such issuance there?

I'll second you one that one. But you REALLY ought to take "3rd World" out of your tagline. We don't want them to issue credit to ANY illegals, right?

No, I don't, I expect they would be taking a higher risk and charging a higher percentage rate. It's an unusual tag line, and for sure Bank of America is not the only one doing this. What I see is a conservative touch point (Illegal aliens) being used to discredit and attempt to issue harm (Via suggested boycott) toward an American bank. Got any source on that accusation?

For the record: Bank of America is issuing credit cards to customers with an existing bank account which anyone can get when they have an IRS issued Tax Identification Number. A TIN
I have had bank accounts in at least 4 countries besides the US, using whatever ID those banks required at the time.
It is not realistic to hold Bank of America to a higher standard than we hold the US Congress - makers of the laws that BoA follows.
