List of banks that do not support illegal immigration and those that do.

Which Bank to Choose?

The question is which banks to patronize if you want to avoid supporting illegal immigration.  As this website points out, Wells Fargo, Citibank, and Washington Mutual offer home loans and bank accounts to illegal immigrants.  Bank of America doesn’t give home mortgages but it does open accounts and offer credit cards.  Sign a petition to boycott Bank of America.

I recommend that you support any bank that requires a Social Security Number (SSN) for all accounts and loans.  Any bank that upholds this requirement will not accept easily-falsifiable identification documents like Mexico's matricula consular, which are often used by illegal aliens.  Unfortunately, I know of no national bank that meets this criterion.  (If any reader knows, please write me!)  Until 2001, banks were required to get SSNs from their customers, but the banks, with the help of the Mexican government, successfully lobbied to end this requirement.

There are regional banks that require SSNs, and if you don’t need a national bank, you should choose such a regional bank.

Be suspicious of banks that accept Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs).  ITINs are IRS identification numbers for people who are not eligible for a social security number and are often used by illegal immigrants.

Since Wells Fargo is the worst, it must be embargoed.
