The real problem also is that Obama seems to wholeheartedly support illegal immigration. He'll deny it of course. But every time I've personally heard him address the issue, he brushes it off like it's no big deal. Or he pretends to be taking care of the problem, when clearly the problem still exists. He obviously either wants to ignore reality or he simply does not care. Then he just blatantly lies or twists statistics. The bottom line is we need to get him and other politicians like him out of office soon before any more damage is done.
Judge for yourselves...

Perfectly acceptable in the nation of origin. Not acceptable in place of say a valid drivers license or a green card. |

Why do you get to decided for a bank what is acceptable identification? Don't you think they are capable of figuring that out themselves? |

Why would he enforce the immigration laws when he has relatives in the country illegally? Clearly that presents a huge conflict of interest there. Most people that support illegal immigration stand to personally benefit from it one way or another, or they know someone who's here illegally and they don't want them to get deported. Simple as that.

Why do I need to provide my Social Security number for a bank account but illegals don't have to, because they don't have any documentation other than a MatrÃcula Consular? |

because those banks are insured by the fed. In other words our tax dollars. As we found out deregulating the banking industry was a huge mistake. |

Umm... well obviously NOT if that is what they chose to do. What the bank wants and what's actually good for society are two separate things.

Good point. All I know is I'm won't be voting for him next election. |

Actually they are not insured by the Fed. FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) but not the Federal Reserve. They "insure" (cough, TARP) the big boys like Citigroup and BoA not local community bank |

I stand corrected. However stand firm on what happens when we deregulate the banking industry. |

As do I. Banking is the only industry that the government has a legitimate interest in strictly regulating. Im still waiting why rhymetime thinks it's fair that illegals get to use our banks without a SS number, but we have to supply one |

What are you talking about? Bank Insurance has basically nothing to do with identification and authentication of people. FDIC insurance doesn't protect banks from people pulling some identity scheme on them, it protects bank customers from bank failure.
As for deregulation, I don't see what this has to do with the discussion either. Are you suggesting that deregulation led to banks not properly identifying customers, which contributed to the financial crisis? Banking is probably in the top three most-regulated industries in the country, even after whatever "deregulation" you're referring to, BTW (I would guess behind healthcare but ahead of airlines).
Let's be specific here. What problems do you foresee if a bank doesn't adequately identify certain illegal alien customers? |
