I'm a retard for wanting to defend our country from criminal invasions? Way to use logic their captain JACKASS!

Anyways, not everybody deserves a chance, they're criminals who come into our country illegally and steal our countries resources.

Dont believe me? take a look at the amount of ER's in LA county that have closed (5 this past year) due to too many illegals (uninsured) using them for service. There was a news report on TV 2 nights ago that said that the average wait in an ER for non emergency in LA county is 7 hours now..due to, you guessed it...illegals using it for their free health care. So maybe you feel they deserve a chance to turn us into a 3rd world country, sure you're entitled to that opinion, but i don't.


Lets see, taken off the internet:

Cost of Illegals in K-12 Since 1996

$13,818,915,721 (yes, that's 13 BILLION dollars from OUR tax money)

Illegal immigrants incarnated (in US prisons currently):

329,462

Cost of Incarcerations Since 2001
$1,384,730,834 (yes, 1 billion)

xdorkx - Youre debating with someone who cant even spell.

Anyway, I have always held the belief that voting with your dollars is stronger than voting in the polls. If a lot of people closed their accounts/cards with B of A, they would be forced to reconsider.

ye I kno its a free country to those that are here legally.. but there are many jobs here in the US that are taken by immigrants due to americans not claming the jobs because they think they cant do anything... I am not saying u so no dont get offended... I do see where you are coming from.. I got into a huge argument with my economics teacher the other day because of this situation.. I am an immigrant but a legal one and he busted out in class saying that immigrants are taking over and there are no job openings for legal residents. Wut i say is all americans want to do is office job and in a big company... who builds ur house or who mows the grass when it needs to... who goes out and try to get a job because they have to pay for bills ( immigrants) thats why there are a lot of americans jobless... because they dont go out and look for a job they want to stay home andn sometimes hope that even the internet will help them.

now its like Carlos Mencia ( the comedian) said the other day.. " bush is trying to send all the mexicans packing and build a huge wall in between the US and Mexico ... If they send the mexicans back WHO is goin to build that wall"

I am not tryign to go against no1 but its kind of ridiculous when people try to build up their life in a different country and when some1 is trying to help them americans in general get upset over it

Yes, this is true...about his spelling, and voting with dollars. I think bofa said that they're going to go forward with it regardless, but we shall see. Shoot, my girlfriend, who is Asian (with LEGAL immigrant parents) agrees with me that this is BS of bofa to do this...

sorry about the spelling.. but this is the internet you know??? i am at work and i can't be taking the time to type every single word out when i can make it shorter and people can still understand it. But yes i do agree with you to some extent. Did you see that Bank of America is also getting a down payment for every account they open?? I.E: they are charging 1/4th of whatever the account is entitled. I guess since they are illegal, they have to pay the price of trying to do things right.

If they were doing things right they wouldn't be here illegally in the first place.

they are trying to find a better way of life.. I am from Brasil and I have been here for close to 10 yrs... you guys don't know the situation in other countries. Thats why people say this. But just an example in Brasil you really can't walk around with a nice watch or something shiny because you will get robbed.. no matter what you do. Maybe thats why people try to find a better life and that is the reason why me and my family came here in the first place.

wow what a bunch of losers. at some point or another, your family came to this country looking for a better life. yes, everyone that lives here should be legal, but the reality of life is that it never happen. you dont know the hostile and impoverished environments that some people live in. if they could come here legally, they would, but many of these countries WONT let them leave and grant them Visas. my wife was illegal, but we got married and paid are dues to the government so that she could live here in peace. so please take your redneck point of view and STFU...

Yes it sucks, but their OWN countries should take care of it, why should we, as american tax payers have to take care of the 3rd world countries poor people...

BILLIONS of dollars are spent each year, i didn't even list the medical expenses that our country has spent....

Lets take mexico for example, all the illegal mexicans are here complaining that they have rights too, and they are just here for a better life...well why arent they complaining in mexico? Mexico has 3 (i believe) of the worlds 10 richest people...it's a rich effing country actually, just the people with the money (and the government) chose not to do anything about the poverty there....so why, again, should WE have to take care of them?

Redneck point of view eh? Wow, somebody needs to learn about tolerance...

My stepdad is from sweden, he came here legally, my girlfriends parents are from cambodia..they came here legally, my grandfather is from ireland...you guessed it, he came here legally.... see the pattern here? And do you know WHY our country wont let them in, because we dont need more poverty and more people living off welfare. Again, i said it before, they need to complain to their OWN governments, we, as american citizens should NOT have to pay for the worlds poor to live here in america and live 'the american dream'.

So speaking of stfu....

People, come on!! can't you see the forest through the tree's?

Bof A is making a killing on this. It's capitalism at it's finest. It's almost as good as the Payday Loan places.

Look if you don't like illegals, you need to move out of the OC bro. I grew up in SoCal and they have always been there, this is nothing new!! And yes they are here taking jobs..... that Americans DON'T WANT!! How about complaining about the lazy F*ckin people in this country that are stealing your tax dollars to sit on their ****'s and collect welfare and food stamps. People that are more than capable of working ANY job that an illegal would take. Why don't they?, cause they would rather sit around an complain about how the imagrants are taking jobs. The bottom line is basic supply and demand. We supply and the illegals fullfill demand. If there weren't any jobs here for them guess what, THEY WOULDN'T COME!!! The problem is NOT them, it's US (well maybe not us as in you and me) but you have to ask yourself why? Why are they here? Why are there jobs for them? Oh and what are you "protecting" your country from? Becoming a 3rd world nation, that's right. Do you know ANYTHING? California has the 5th largest economy in the WORLD!!! YES THE WORLD!!!! Like you think the US or even California is even close to ever becoming a third world, you abviously don't get out much!!But I'll tell you WHY Bof A is doing what there are doing, TO MAKE $$$$$$, every deposit that gets put down the bank turns around and loans out basic bank ****. Not to mention the interest on the cards their getting. Once again supply and demand, BofA is just smart enough to do this and they're gonna make MILLIONS doing it. And guess what they can do .......Hire more white executives to make more money and spend more money and keep our wonderful economy going!!!


Seems like you need to head on down to Texas and hang out with the Minutemen!!

Actually, there is a minutemen chapter here in california..... i would go help them ,but the border is in san diego 2 hours away, and i work full time..regardless, did you hear about the big raid on the meat packing companies a few months ago? 500+ illegals arrested for working "jobs americans dont want"?

The next day there were HUGE LINES outside with american citizens applying for those jobs...

Speaking of the US becoming a 3rd world, not all of it..but whens the last time you were in Los Angeles?

Meh.... i'm kinda stuck on this one. I've had a BOFA account since forever and do not feel like changing it. But, I absolutely DO NOT like what they want to do.

I work at a shipping and postal store that rents out mailboxes and I can't tell you how many Nigerians we get with fake names/identifications doing credit card scams. They must get at least 10+ envelopes a week for each box they own that receive credit card applications from different credit card companies. Regardless, we have informed and worked with the postal investigator to try and stop this problem. With this BOFA crap.... its just one less form of ID they need to produce (social security) and I think its going to get worse from here. They're only looking at it from one side, trying to help the immigrants that are working here, but they're going to get bit in the ___ from people that will succeed in scamming them. Not sure if I want my money in that kind of company if that will happen.

Last time I was in LA, Let's see October 23-November 3 2006, I was in LA , San Clemente and San Diego, what's that have to do with anything? Come on bro don't take a rasict view of this you have a good argument going so far.

See, here in lies the problem, perfect example you give. Meat packing plant. Now who is the problem. The imigrant? or the meat packing plant owner who hires him? Like I said if there weren't jobs for them they wouldn't be here. But that's just one example but I look at it this way, It's NOT the imigrant TAKING the job form americans, It's worse than that it's F*CKIN americans taking jobs from americans. Why the F*CK would you hire illegals? Oh well there is one good reason, to make $$$$, that's the other problem, everyone is only concerned with themselves and could give a **** about anyone else.
