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.
 
If it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, then forward it to
every human in the country including every representative in  Washington , 
DC four time s a week for a month.
