"Green Cards"

As you probably know, the Bank of America has been caught offering credit cards to illegals in Southern California. No social security, no credit, no problemo (wonder what APRs they're offering)?

We've got gold, platinum, so these gotta be green cards. VIVA! Obviously green is appropriate to signify the fact many recipients won't get a real one, but also in memoriam of when the Mexican flag was hoisted about the Stars and Stripes on Cinco de Mayo. And of course, green for greenbacks--the pursuit of which causes corporate executives to lose their collective souls by rationalizing making money off illegal activity.

Ironically, Bank of America recently gained some respect in mi casa when they eliminated the insulting "choose English or Spanish" buttons from their ATMs. Bank deposits shouldn't be held hostage in such a manner, hint, hint, Regions Bank. No really--providing buttons for other languages is fine, just default everything to English and we're good to go.

Actually the Green Cards could be an opportunity. When (if) they roll out nationwide it might be fun to saunter into the local branch and demand a card under a phony name, then pitch a fit when they discriminate due to citizenship.
