Best Buy has stands in most of their stores in the Dallas area stating "Acceptamos Matrulca Consular" with a mexican flag on the top with young spanish speaking best buy workers standing near by.

The tables are littered with spanish language forms in an effort to get newly arrived and non-acculturated hispanics to sign up for Best Buy Financing.

Whats the problem you might ask? Well first off its Best Buy basically pandering to a foreign nation on American soil. Secondly, but not least important, a majority of un-acculturated hispanics can be catagorized as 'sub prime' and whats happening to our economy right now? oh yeah... its crumbling thanks to businesses giving people financing that couldnt afford it. What will happen is that Best Buy will show a great sales record selling all of these electronics to this market, then when they dont pay up Best Buy will turn it into a 'write down' and either them or their financing backers will seek the governments assistance in recovering the lost funds.

Finally this is no less than Bank of America issuing credit cards to illegal aliens. In that situation Bank of American tried to play it off by saying the they were issuing unsecured cards. In this case Best Buy is saying that they will accept the Matricula Consular card as a form of photo identification (note not federal or state id), but that the consumer must also have Social Security number.

What? If they have a Social Security number wouldn't they have a state issued ID? WTF is Best Buy trying to pull?
