ILLEGALS, RACE WAR, AND EASY BANKING

There are many radical Latino groups calling for the violent overthrow of their "white" oppressors and the return of the American west to the mythical Aztlan from which they believe their land was stolen. Many Americans do not believe these fringe groups have any power and influence, so they dismiss them as harmless.

Yet these groups continually draw U.S. Congressmen and staff members to their meetings. Corporate benefactors and foundations contribute funds and other means of support that enable these groups to thrive and proliferate.

Recently, two representatives from Jim Gilchrist's Minuteman Project [MMP] attended a meeting of the National Alliance for Human Rights, whose coordinator is Armando Navarro, a professor at the University of California, Riverside.

MMP National Spokesman Raymond Herrera and MMP National Rally Coordinator Robin Hvidston, two of Gilchrist's most street-savvy rally organizers, were alarmed by the racist rhetoric that permeated the meeting, punctuated by calls for violence against "white" people.

Bank of America is now issuing its credit cards to people with no Social Security number, who have broken the law, and who are in this country illegally. To Bank of America, apparently, they are simply a new market.

Bank of America says the program has nothing to do with illegal aliens and defends the program, saying it's only a pilot program in 51 banks, saying, "This initiative lets customers build a solid credit history with a leading bank." But the bank only requires a taxpayer identification number, something many illegal aliens have, something the IRS Web site says should not be used as identification.

Steven Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies said: "Well, there's no question that the intent of this new policy is to give credit cards to illegal aliens. They're hoping to tap a new market. They're hoping to make some money. So anyone who suggests otherwise is just silly." The worry is the program aides and abets any illegal alien to stay in the country, establish credit, and put down roots.

The Department of Homeland Security today said, "We are not privy to all of the details of the program. We will be looking at it very carefully." And added, "It facilitates the risk of identity theft," and said money laundering through the program could be "entirely possible."
