THIS IS NOT A JOKE

Bank of America,

Customer: Yes, I want to cancel my account. I don't want to do business with you any longer.

The Bank: Why?

Customer: You're giving credit to illegal immigrants and I don't think it's right. I'm taking my business elsewhere.

The Bank: Well, Mr. Customer, we don't want to see you do that, but we can't stop you. I'll help you close the account. What is your account number?

Customer: (gives account number)

The Bank: For security purposes and for your protection, can you please give me the last four digits of your social security number?

Customer: No.

The Bank: Mr. Customer, I need to verify your information, but in order to help you, I'll need verification of who you are..

Customer: Why should I give you my social security number? The reason I'm closing my account is that your bank is issuing credit cards to illegal immigrants who don't have social security numbers. You are targeting that audience and want their business. Let's say I'm an illegal immigrant and you've given me a credit card. I have a question about it and call for assistance. You wouldn't be asking me for a Social Security number, would you?

The Bank: No sir, I wouldn't.

Customer: Why not?

The Bank: Because you would have pressed '2' to speak in Spanish. We don't ask for that information when calling in on the Spanish line.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

The law in AZ is constitutional. So would be rounding up every single person within our borders with a Spanish last name and herding them into concentration camps.


Korematsu Vs United States.

Hank,

I think someone in the Dept. finally tipped him off that the AZ law is based on the US federal law. So if it's unconstitutional, then the feds also have a problem.

If the administration has a hair on its azz about dealing with the illegal immigration problem, all he has to do is propose legislation to Congress that imposes mandatory fines and jail time for anyone who employs an illegal immigrant. And if Congress also has a hair and wants to deal with the issue, they would pass it.

But they won't, will they? Of course not. Too many individuals and businesses benefit by hiring illegal immigrants, and they'll exploit humanitarian or any fake reason in lobbying against this or any meaningful reform.

I sympathize with certain of Mr. Alvarado's concerns (the day laborer network guy) but overall his position statement is nucking futz. Some of those undocumented folks are criminals, and I don't even want to extend them a small measure of equality. The non-criminal illegals are still illegal and need to obtain a green card. And the gubmint needs to figure out how to issue them more quickly. I feel like such a redneck today.

A redneck would never advocate throwing an American business man in jail for using cheap labor. So I think you're still okay.

My biggest worry about a porous border is the ease of a terrorist getting across. Al Queda partially funds through the sale of drugs, the Mexican cartels sell drugs so I could see them entering into a loose partnership allowing the cartels to bring terrorists across in exchange for drugs.

Typical Democrat/Obama/Alfred E Newman thought process--- What, me worry?

KK you are starting to flounder...
