They had pretty much operated on cash. they had retired. they were now unemployed. They could not qualify for a credit card. So. when the scandal began that we had major iconic banks in this country issuing credit cards to those that had illegally entered this country. as long as they were willing to put $100 in a checking account and leave it there for a month. then they could get a $500 credit card. that gentleman. that good. solid. patriotic American man that has worked for a company. retired from a company and wanted to enjoy his retirement years. walked into that bank. and he asked that banker. do 1 need to be an illegal immigrant just to get a credit card in this country? That is the right question for him to ask. That is how ludicrous the practice is and how horrific it is that we would have these big banks. big banks. big iconic companies that have benefitted from the prosperity of this great Nation to play favorites and to say. all right. if you are an illegal immigrant. if you want to put $100 in over here. I am going to give you a $500 credit card. Basically.
