Immigration- A study in futility.

I think my patience is beginning to wear really thin. I recieved the following and went to Snopes.com to verify it and was absolutely shocked. Where and when have we lost all out common sense, ethics, morality and patriotism. This is worse than I have imagined.

A conversation between a Customer and Bank of America:
The Bank: Bank of America, can I help you?

Customer: Yes, I want to cancel my account. I don't want to do business with you any longer.

The Bank: Why?

Customer: You're giving credit to illegal immigrants and I don't think it's right. I'm taking my business elsewhere.

The Bank: Well, Mr. Customer, we don't want to see you do that, but we can't stop you. I'll help you close the account. What is your account number?

Customer: (gives account number)

The Bank: For security purposes and for your protection, can you please give me the last four digits of your social security number?

Customer: No.

The Bank: Mr. Customer, I need to verify your information, but in order to help you, I'll need verification of who you are.

Customer: Why should I give you my social security number? The reason I'm closing my account is that your bank is issuing credit cards to illegal immigrants who don't have social security numbers. You are targeting that audience and want their business. Let's say I'm an illegal immigrant and you've given me a credit card. I have a question about it and call for assistance. You wouldn't be asking me for a Social Security number, would you?

The Bank: No sir, I wouldn't.

Customer: Why not?

The Bank: Because you would have pressed '2' to speak in Spanish. We don't ask for that information when calling in on the Spanish line.

Yesterday was the 6th anniversary of one of the most catastrophic acts ever perpetrated against our Nation. I was trying to remember what I was doing that fateful day. MommaNurse wrote her thoughts in her blog, and I wanted to do the same.

I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when President Kennedy was assassinated. I can clearly recall every momentous occasion that has affected my and my families lives. I cannot, simply cannot, recall that horrible day in 2001.

I remember phrases, and conversations from that day.
"Have you turned on your TV?"
"Can you see this?"
" Did you get hold of your son and is he OK?"

I cannot remember anything else, I never left watching television, waiting for news, calling friends, checking on folks I knew to be in the City. But I cannot clearly remember anything else. It was mind-numbing. I was angry, saddened, horrified, disgusted, and worried. Recently, I received an E-Mail of pictures of the USS New York. I was gratified, impressed and awed by the story. I cannot imagine a more poignant use of the remains of the towers. I may be vengeful, but I truly hope the New York is able to deliver some retribution for the shameless atrocities imposed on our Nation.

Please visit Snopes.com and look up USS New York. and read the story.
