A coalition of groups that advocate for tighter U.S. borders has launched a boycott against Bank of America Corp. because of a new credit card that could be used by illegal immigrants.

The National Illegal Immigration Boycott Coalition is asking people to close their accounts and sign an online petition at www.bankofamericaboycott.com.

Organizer William Gheen, president of Raleigh-based Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, also argues bank officials should face federal charges for "aiding and abetting" illegal immigrants.

"Nobody is above the law, including Bank of America," he said.

The boycott is the latest backlash against a credit card the Charlotte bank is testing in Los Angeles that requires little or no credit history.

Customers must have a checking account in good standing with the bank, but they don't necessarily need a Social Security number to sign up.

Two Republican members of the House Financial Services Committee also told Fox News on Friday they would ask for hearings on the program, citing concerns about promoting illegal immigration and identity theft.

Bank of America spokeswoman Betsy Weinberger said the card was not "specifically developed or marketed for illegal immigrants," adding the initiative allows customers to build a credit history with a "leading bank."

I thought I read some where that a certian group wants to boycott Bank of America on March 10th, thats when they want everyone to close accounts and call and let them know how upset people are over this.Does anyone else know about this? I dont think I read it here.

My father closed his already. I also saw Dennis Miller on O'reilly and he held up his slip showing he closed his account out. I think this is really steaming a lot of people. I'm glad to see that this is coming back to bite them.

This is the same sleazeball operation that laid off thousands of US workers and moved the jobs to India. Maybe they should just change their name to The Bank Of India.

Traitors.

I saw Dennis Miller too! Thanks for the information butterbean. I also got something from Numbers USA and the Dustin Inman Society, also something called operation bankrupt, but the wed site is called something I'd rather not write here, they are the ones who boycotted Miller.So many groups and people outraged, I hope its not to late- it seems as if it has been a cancer slowly growing, out of site, out of view and now they are telling us it's terminal.We need to all come together and push back, push back hard, in their wallets, thats the only thing they value,cherish and worship.
