Illegals taking advantage

American businesses and politicians and the far left mainstream media are once again proving to be the best friends illegal aliens and Islamo-fascist terrorists ever had. Take note.

In search of new hard money, Bank of America is marketing credit cards to illegal aliens. Even as our nation fights a war against an enemy that will use every tool at its disposal, including fraud and identity theft. Bank of America chooses to ignore the fact that in addition to illegals coming here for a job and a better life — which Mexico refuses to provide because of mass corruption — real live terrorists who sneak across the border might open a line of credit to secure funds and materials to help kill us.

Have you ever heard of ITIN? It stands for Individual Taxpayer Identification Number and was instituted by regulation from the Treasury Department — not by legislation, not by executive order, but by bureaucratic design. ITIN was instituted for foreign investors who owe taxes but are not eligible for a Social Security number. Instead, illegal aliens rather than investors have come to embrace the ITIN.

Now, thanks to the lamebrains at Treasury, illegal aliens are getting ITINs and with their tax returns can be offered home loans and credit cards. We know they are illegal and we do nothing about it because we want their money. Security be damned.

Finally, did you know that Rep. Jack Murtha of Pennsylvania, the Benedict Arnold Award winner who is leading the fight to disgrace and remove our troops from Iraq, was caught on tape trying to bribe Arab sheiks during the FBI's Abscam investigation in 1980? Instead of opposing brutal dictators and spreading freedom in the Middle East, Murtha was willing to sell his country's interests to Arab sheiks. Murtha was never convicted because he told the sheiks to hold off for awhile and contact him later. This is the man the Democrats have put up to lead the anti-war charge today. Despicable. Can it get any worse?

And the mainstream media says nothing about any of this because it doesn't fit their anti-American agenda. Like Rome and Greece, American civilization is being destroyed from within.
