Wells Fargo: Banking Illegals Since 2001
S.F. Business Times reports: “Wells Fargo said Wednesday that it’s the first financial institution to accept Colombia’s Consular Registry Card as one of the valid forms of primary identification for new account openings and over-the-counter customer transactions.”
As many know, Columbia is also a great provider of “under-the-counter” transactions. Mostly small white bags.
The San Francisco bank (NYSE: WFC) pioneered the acceptance of such identity cards. It was the first to accept the Mexican matricula card in 2001 for such purposes, now a common industry practice. Wells was also the first bank in 2002 to accept the Guatemalan and Argentinean consular cards as valid identification.
Wells Fargo has opened more than 750,000 accounts for customers using a consular identification card from Mexico, Guatemala or Argentina. “
How can we have a serious national debate about the problems with immigration, when businesses are busy embracing illegals?
That’s called a conflict of interest.
Problems with the matricula cards are well-documented. (Pun intended)
