Foundation of BofA founder

A.P. Giannini, founder of the Bank of America, started his first banking enterprise in San Francisco and catered to mostly immigrants, not unlike himself, an energetic Italian who had the foresight to cater to his kind of people. Today, I am a member of Bank of America in Escondido, going on my 10th year. Both the main bank on Escondido Avenue and the branch on E. Valley Parkway are staffed by [people who seem to be of Mexican descent] all bilingual, all sharp, clean, well-mannered and efficient. Crusaders are ill-advised to boycott any transactions of illegal immigrants at BofA; it is a folly of misguided proportions. With assets up around $200 billion, any trickle of lost accounts to bigots will be a further asset to them!

The immigration problem is the sole responsibility of the U.S. government, nobody else. So, if you have nothing in your life better to do than shovel doo-doo against the tide, have at it.
