"Bank on California" Money Laundering Scheme May Do for the State What Mortgage Meltdown Did for the Nation

The state of California will go bust by March of 2009. Over the cliff we will go and to make sure there is no looking back, Arnold Schwarzenegger gave us an extra shove in the back – the Bank on California scheme.


This week the Governor has startled even his most adoring followers. He launched a program called "Bank on California" for the expressed purpose of allowing illegal aliens to open bank account and get loans using the fraudulent Mexican Matricular Consular and Central American "consular identification cards".


These consular identification cards, which only illegal aliens need, can be purchased for as little as $20 in any big city street corner or for $40 from official Mexican consulate. In the last few years the Mexican government has put in action a huge fleet of Mexican Consulates on wheels for the purpose of handing out Matricular Consular identification cards in any town and village in American where Mexican illegal aliens can be found. In some instances American public schools and libraries with administrators sympathetic of illegal aliens and open borders are allowing the mobile consular identification operations to issue these questionable identifications from classrooms and meeting rooms, to the outrage of tax-payer groups.


U.S. CONGRESSMAN TED POE CALLS MATRICULAR CONSULAR A HOAX AND A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK


U.S. Congressman Ted Poe on Congressional Hearing on Financial Services. The Congressman testified that the Matricular Consular poses a security risk for the United States. He pointed out the following facts uncovered by his investigation. (1) Mexican Banks in Mexico DO NOT accept Matricular Consular as a valid identification (2) The Matricula Consular can be obtain without authentication of the applicant. (3) The Matricula Consular can be easily forged with any desired identity and can be purchase either from the Mexican consulate of from false identification producers for under $40. (4) The U.S. banks that accept the Matricula Consular have no means, nor do they make an effort to verify that the Matricular Consular is valid. (4) A Congressman Poe staffer was able to get a Matricula Consular issued to his name using the address 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, for the purposes of demonstrating how unreliable it is.


The above facts may not be known by the ordinary California citizens, but all illegal alien advocacy groups, Congressmen, Senators, State Assembly and Senate Members and Governor Schwarzenegger know that the Matricular Consular is a bogus form of identification needed and used exclusively by illegal aliens.


STEVE McCRAW, ASSISTAN DIRECTOR, FBI OFFICE OF INTELLIGENCE TESTIFIES THAT MATRICULA CONSULAR IS INVALID AND A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK


Quotes from testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Immigration and Border Security. "consular ID cards are primarily being utilized by illegal aliens in the United States". "The U.S. Government has done an extensive amount of research on the Matricula Consular, to assess its viability as a reliable means of identification. The Department of Justice and the FBI have concluded that the Matricula Consular is not a reliable form of identification, due to the non-existence of any means of verifying the true identity of the card holder. The Matricula Consular is the perfect breeder document to secure other legitimate forms of identification and pose a substantial risk of misuse, including misuse by terrorists."

"BANK ACCOUNTS FOR EVERYBODY"


The "Bank on California" program is a sham to provide illegal aliens bank accounts and bank loans they could not get if normal and sound business practices were followed.


Illegal aliens are in the country illegally. The penalty for illegally residing or working in the United States is deportation. If illegal aliens are suddenly deported, will they continue to make payment from Mexico on credit cards, home mortgages or car loans? No! of course not.


The state of California is almost $50 billion in the red and the "Bank on California" program will make matters worse. Vigorous immigration law enforcement could cause a meltdown of major banks in California.


EXUDOS OF BUSINESSES AND TAXPAYERS FROM CALIFORNIA


For the last four years more wealth and employment creating businesses and tax payers have left the state than have settled into it. California´s now leads the nation with intruding Nanny state policies, energy policies that choke growth and employment and a stubborn refusal to enforce laws that would protect American jobs and reduced the state´s social services burden.


The state´s net population inflow is swollen by millions of illiterate, poor illegal aliens. Countless studies over the past 40 years document that the same criminal cartels that control drug trafficking also controls human trafficking.


A 2006 Heritage Foundation study concluded that illiterates and high school drop-outs (most illegal aliens have no more than a 4th or 5th grade education) whether they are homegrown or imported cost the taxpayers a net $1 million in social services more than they contribute in taxes over their lifetime. Shutting off the spigot of illiterate illegal aliens and improving education in the state to improve on the current dismal 50% high school graduation figure would save the state billions of dollars and help prevent the bankruptcy of the state.


Multimillion dollar border tunnels the cartel dig to funnel drugs also brings 2 to 3 million illegal aliens that violate the United States borders every year. More ominously, the cartels, which are in it strictly for the money, are also smuggling thousands of foreigners from countries known to harbor terrorists. Congressional investigations have found irrefutable evidence of smuggled Middle Eastern human trafficking who take on a "Hispanic" identity. Match those potential terrorists with a Matricula Consular and we have a serious threat to life and security in California.


THERE IS NO FREE HUMAN TRAFFICKING


In many cases, the foreign invaders are forced by the cartels to carry backpacks with drugs as part of their contract. Each backpack can carry as much as $50,000 in narcotics destined for American school children and to be consumed by pilots, bus drivers and others who pose a threat to our lives.


Once in the United States the illegal aliens are placed in "clown houses", secured locations controlled by the cartels, until the families of the illegals pay the trafficking fee. From that point forward the illegal aliens who are fully paid up are released by the cartels in cities where immigration laws are not enforced or not allowed to be enforced. The relationship between illegal aliens and the cartels continues after the illegals are released into illegal alien enclaves in cities where immigration law is not enforced. The cities that refuse to enforce immigration laws are called Sanctuary Cities. The illegals need false documentation and jobs. The drug cartels run America´s identity theft and false document business and rack in many millions of dollars annually from these activities. The cartels have virtually unlimited amounts of money to produce high quality fraudulent documents; and the false documents that they create are indiscernible from the real ones.


Once illegal aliens are integrated into the shadowy illegal alien underground, some discover that by joining established criminal gangs that serve as the distribution network of the criminal drug and human trafficking cartels, they can make more money in one week than other illegal aliens working at minimum wage earn in a year of doing back breaking work.


Just what is the extent of the illegal drug and human trafficking trade? A CBS investigative report quoting government sources concludes that the drug trade earns the cartels annually $140 billion and human trafficking $10 billion. Arms trafficking is also involved and it is estimated to be substantial. The total amount of trade controlled by the cartels is thus estimated to exceed $150 billion. If the crime cartels were a corporation, they would be America´s 5th largest corporation ranking after Wal-Mart, Exxon, Chevron and General Motors.


Whether illegal aliens earn a pittance or thousands of dollars per week pushing drugs for the cartels, they need banking services. If banking services were limited to citizens, legal residents and people holding valid foreign passports and visas, illegal aliens would face money laundering difficulties. This is where the Governor comes in. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to offer illegal aliens a hand in money laundering their illicit earnings with the help of large California banks.


The number of gang members working as part of the Mexican criminal cartels is staggering. There are many gangs competing for the drug distribution business. The most dangerous and bloody of them is MS-13. According to the FBI, as of 2007, there were as many as 100,000 MS-13 active members. In the Los Angeles area the aggregate of competing gangs plying the trade, most of them illegal aliens, are close to 100,000 in this area alone. There were over 6,000 drug smuggling related murders in 2007 along the U.S. Mexican border.


For a jaw dropping exposé the corrupting influence of the Cartels on American elected officials view the internationally acclaimed documentaries: "Drug Wars", by director Rusty Flemming; and "Border" by director Chris Burgard – both available in a video store near you, but apparently not near Governor Schwarzenegger´s home in Santa Monica.


The illegal aliens the Governor is throwing a lifeline to, are valued and protected by a cabal of insidious destructive forces.


Among the profit-sharing beneficiaries of trading in cheap labor are the banks. They handle $23 billion in illegal workers foreign remittances to their home countries. Naturally business big and small benefit immensely from illegal cheap labor.


American workers are pesky. They know their rights, demand medical insurance and Workmen´s Compensation for on the job injuries and protection against environmental and job related hazards on top of expecting a living wage. American workers also indirectly force employers to pay payroll taxes because the American workers hold valid Social Security numbers and they declare their income to the Internal Revenue Service and the State Tax Franchise Board.


Given the opportunity, unethical employers will chose cheap illegal workers over American workers. Arnold Schwarzenegger would do well to show compassion for the American worker as millions of unemployed Americans would agree.


Illegal aliens do not have the right to vote and certainly did not vote him into office, so why is the Governor shedding Hollywood tears over them? Who is the Governor really helping by legitimizing illegal aliens




Illegal aliens are forbidden by law to hold a Social Security number; the tax-payers are the real losers as both the illegal aliens and their employers feverishly fuel identity theft in a massive scale.


11 MILLION AMERICANS VICTIMIZED BY IDENTITY THEFT ANNUALLY


22 million or more illegal aliens in the nation hunger for stolen or falsified Social Security numbers. The Governor wants to provide illegal aliens with a safe place where to keep the money they earn illicitly through document and tax fraud, so he launched the Bank on California program, just for them.




A MASSIVE FOREIGN INVASION OF PEOPLE WITH TERRITORIAL CLAIMS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO SOCIAL UNREST


The other dark force which will eventually cause social upheaval in California is the duality of Mexican nationalism and Mexican race-based territorial claims over parts of the United States. The aim of Mexican nationalists whether they reside in Mexico or the United States is to retake what they believe are lost Mexican territories. This is called "Reconquista". The Mexican nationalist understand that cheap-labor employers are exploiting them, but they take the long view that illegal employment of a massive illegal population invasion by Mexico will eventually lead to a political takeover of California and other states by Mexican nationalist.


Among the best well known Mexican nationalists are Los Angeles City Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (birth name Villar) a former leader of the Mexican nationalist MEChA organization; and Fabian Nunez, Speaker of the Assembly another MEChista.


Mayor Villaraigosa, for example, has declared Los Angeles a "Sanctuary City" where federal immigration laws are not enforced and where millions of illegal aliens live without fear of deportation.


The Mexican nationalist serving in the state Assembly and Senate have introduced a wealth of open borders and illegal alien pandering legislation in the last decades. The objective is to create a welcoming environment for illegal aliens and to bring about a sea change in the state demographics. Numerical superiority means Reconquista.


Among the measures advocated by Mexican nationalists serving in Sacramento are driver´s licenses of illegal aliens which gives them a recognizable identification card which in turn allows them to vote illegally if they wish to take that chance. Federal and state law prohibit poll workers from challenging whatever identification would be voters show up with on election day.


Another notorious Mexican nationalist is Gil Cedillo who serves in the California state Senate. Gill has introduced no less than 23 bills pressing for driver´s licenses for illegal aliens. Gil Cedillo who is affectionately known as "one bill Gill", due to his obsession for driver´s licenses for illegals, was also the State Director of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The SEIU is a union founded by Wade Rathke, a co-founder of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS); and the Weather Underground, the murderous domestic terrorist group lead by Bill Ayers.


Gil Cedillo carries a lot of clout. The SEIU gave the Democrat Party $26,849,872 or 96% of their contributions in 2007. That makes the SEIU the 8th largest lobbying group in the United States and California. The SEIU openly lobbies for open borders, illegal alien "rights", and illegal alien SEIU union membership. Isn´t it ironic that the SEIU recruits illegal aliens into the union, when those illegal aliens do not have the right to work in the United States? Any politician, like Governor Schwarzenegger, must lock step with the SEIU if they want to get on their political contribution gravy train.


The Schwarzenegger "Bank on California" program panders to illegal aliens and is part of an array of measures to make the life of illegal aliens in California more comfortable, for example: driver´s licenses, free education, no out of state/out of country tuition and free medical care.


The cost to California taxpayers for the folly of pandering to illegal aliens is up to $12 billion per year or about $1,400 per California family. Do you have $1,400 to spare this year? Let the Governor know.


CALIFORNIA WAS RULED BY SPAIN, NOT MEXICO


For over 130 years every Mexican child has been raised on school books spouting the belief that California was stolen from Mexico. No matter what polite citizens of Mexico may tell you, in their hearts many believe in one or more versions of a Mexican race-based and or political territorial claim against the United States, California included.


Naturally, this belief is pure fiction. California was Spanish not Mexican. Following the Mexican war of independence, the Mexican revolutionaries in Mexico City, who had taken the territory from Spain through war, tried for 23 years to take possession of California but they were repelled by the Californianos who had lived there for more than 200 years. Rather than be ruled by Mexico, Californianos chose to ally themselves with the United States. Read the writings of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo and the Californio Governor Juan Alvarado, for clarity on this issue.


The Mexican "Reconquista" movement might be driven by mythology, but the number of foreign nationals within our state and their allies who believe in it are powerful and dangerous due to their vast numbers and the ignorance and or lack of patriotism of their American allies.


The entire premise behind "Bank on California" is based on falsehoods and sleight of hand. The first false premise is that people need "help" in opening a bank account. Who is the Governor trying to fool? To what degree are we going to tolerate a Nanny Government that intrudes into petty discretionary personal matters, like opening a no-brainer bank account?


Any person reading this article can take no more than $5 to any bank in California and open a bank account in 20 minutes or less and get a donut and a cup of coffee while waiting. The Governor on his "Bank on California" website gives us a sob story about percentages of "victims" that do not have a bank account. Help me with this, but don´t people have to have money and the desire to have a bank account first and foremost? What the Governor is really trying to say is that millions of illegal aliens are afraid to put their illicit money in the bank for fear of blowing their cover. There is no justification for the Governor to put the seal of the state of California or spend tax-payers money to promote bank accounts and loans for illegal aliens or for anyone for that matter.


"LOANS FOR EVERYBODY"


Visit the official state of California "Bank on California" website, bankoncalifornia.ca.gov. Many of the banks listed as partners are embroiled in the risky lending practices that are bankrupting the nation. These banks have gotten $1 trillion in taxpayer bailout money so far. Why would the Governor encourage a new wave of risky bank services for illegal aliens now?


We are heading into a financial crisis worse than the Great Depression in large part because banks made loans, under government pressure, to people who they knew could not pay for them. Illegal aliens due to their illegal presence are subject to deportation at anytime, if deported they will default on loans they take out under the Governor´s plan.


Deported illegal aliens would have no incentive to continue to pay off loans in the United States for home, cars and businesses that they can no longer posses or return to. The Governor may well be putting in the last nail in the coffin of the California economy and the state budget.


The governor wants to be "liked" by what he sees as the people who will soon be the majority in this state, especially if cheap labor lobbyists succeed in buying enough influence to get a general illegal alien amnesty bill passed.


Governor Schwarzenegger is showing great insensitivity to the citizens and tax payers of this state and a huge yellow stripe on his backside; evident of someone who is a short-sighted political opportunist.


On a CBS interview yesterday Schwarzenegger said that he would like to run for President of the United States if being a "natural born citizen" were not a Constitutional requirement. Whatever his political ambitions, getting political contributions from cheap labor corporate interests, cannot hurt. What price will we pay to stoke his political career?


"BANK ON CALIFORNIA" ENABLES MONEY LAUNDERING OF ILLICIT EARNINGS


Governor Schwarzenegger, show us that you are not aiding and abetting illegal activities on the part of illegal aliens and the cheap labor profiteers. Stand tall, makes us proud of you and prevent money laundering of illicit earnings. Make it mandatory that the banks submit to the Department of Homeland Security detailed contact information on every foreigner that applies for a bank account or bank loan on the basis of a Mexican Matricula Consular or other Consular identity card. Impose a fine of no less than $10,000 for every bank infraction on this regulation.


WHAT ILLEGAL ALIENS THEMSELVES ARE SAYING


Whereas the major English language viewers are in decline and many of them are seniors, the two Spanish language Television stations have grown over 70% in 10 years.


The most watched Television station in American for those who are between 18 and 34 years of age is Spanish language Univision. What this tells you is that our elected officials' policy of providing cheap labor profiteers with a steady supply of illegal aliens by not protecting the border and not enforcing immigration law, will result in a Spanish speaking majority in America in as little as 20 years. The English speaking people of European origin are old and dying.


While the English speaking mainstream Media reports on the Governor´s "Bank on California" program in childish naiveté or as some would say, with their typical vacuous superficiality; there is in-depth coverage of the Bank on California program on Spanish language Media.


One such forum can be found in Univision.com. Under the topic of "Bank and Loans" there are thousands of comments in reaction to the launching of Bank on California. Most of the comments are from self-identified "undocumented aliens" which is the Hispanic community code for Illegal Alien.


A small minority of them express the opinion that "Bank on California" is a plan to trap them and that they could eventually be turned over to the Immigration Authorities.


The vast majority, however, see it as a step in the right direction to enable them to function illegally in the United States and to more easily integrate their illegal earnings into the financial mainstream. A great many of them write that they need more help. For example, they say that they need valid driver´s licenses; and perhaps on top of the wish list is universal Amnesty (a forgiveness of their crimes). Bank on California would basically lose its usefulness if our elected officials simply granted the 22 million illegal aliens in the country the Amnesty that their cheap labor employers lobby for so feverishly.


California will run out of money by March of this year. Bank on California is a program that we cannot afford, that we should not be supporting; and that will make solving California´s economic problems much harder to solve. Governor, leave a legacy that we can respect. Put an end to the Bank Financial Services Act for illegal aliens, otherwise known as the Bank on California program.


Call and write Governor Schwarzenegger and demand that "Bank on California" be dismantled immediately.

I bet if the next 9-11 happened in LA many things in CA would change for the better for an American.
That state must be loaded with terrorists by now.
They can come so easily in thru Mexico.
Now that CA is ruined more people are leaving. We'll have to sell the state to Mexico just to rid us of parasites.
I'd say Arnolds steriods have ate away brain matter, we all know what it did to his testicles!
