Bank of America causes mass debate on new credit card testing

Bank of America causes mass debate on new credit card testingThe Bank of America must have known that when it announced that its new credit card may be tested on illegal immigrants, it would cause quite a debate. The obvious risks that it presents have sparked outrage and critics have even suggested a boycott.

It is thought that there are around 12 million illegal immigrants within America and many are also thought to be terrorists and criminals. So by offering credit cards to these people, it is possible that it could assist them in their criminal activities. So just why is the Bank of America offering to fund these illegal immigrants?

Well it seems that whilst they are certainly not allowed to employ them, all banks are still allowed to sign illegal immigrants up as customers. There seems to be no restrictions regarding illegal immigrants and banks and they see it as purely a money making opportunity.

The new scheme that the Bank of America set up late last year allowed customers to sign up for a credit card without a social security number. This is why there could be illegal immigrants getting hold of the cards and the bank has had to admit that it is a possibility. However the bank thinks that so far no illegal immigrants have signed up for the credit cards and they claim that it is simply a way of helping out a portion of Americans. Not everybody has a driving license or a lot of money to spare and these new cards are designed to suit those people’s needs. They are particularly advertising these cards to the Latino community and it is thought that that is where the illegal immigrants also are.

Overall the decision to allow these cards possibly to illegal immigrants has outraged many people. It is also likely to shock a lot of other countries too. So just how popular will this pilot scheme be and will it give illegal immigrant’s access to the funds that they need to spark more terrorist attacks?

Suggested a boycott? Hopefully the critics will do a little more research and find out the boycott is already underway.
