They seem not to get it. The Department of Homeland Security spokesman. Russ Knocke said banking products aimed at illegal immigrants reinforce the need for a temporary worker program. This is nonsense. His idea rewards the unlawful activity of being in the country illegally by now saying it is permissible activity to be here illegally. Banking products aimed at illegal immigrants do not reinforce the need for a temporary worker program. They reinforce the need to enforce the border rules. strengthen interior enforcement of immigration laws and punish companies who openly flout the rule of law. How do we expect to hold employers who knowingly hire illegals accountable when American banks are rolling out the welcome mat to illegals and giving them credit? Issuing credit cards to people without valid and legitimate documentation makes no sense.
