Illegal Aliens Getting Credit Cards

I agree that America is the Land of Opportunity and Freedom, but that does not come without responsibility. I'm a little miffed that Bank of America is issuing credit cards to illegal aliens sans Social Security Cards. The number of cards issued to illegals may be a drop in the bucket in relation to the people here legally, but that's not the point. Why should anyone, period, be able to get a credit card in this country without a Social Security card? It would be so easy to bilk Bank of America out of millions of dollars by illegals opening multiple accounts under fictitious names. Who will pay for this economic snafu? Legal U.S. citizens, who are customers of Bank of America, will pay for it through higher finance charges and interest rates. It's bad enough consumers have to pay for identity thieves' knavery, but do people have to be subjected to paying for illegals taking advantage of the American economic system?
