things did not fall apart after slavery because the system was *immediately replaced* by sharecroppers and immigrant labors (both of which were de facto forms of slavery).

Noah you have clearly missed something.Please at least try to attribute to me only that which I said.
I love this thread; I think discussions spur growth...
Personally I can't fault any man or woman willing to do what it takes to support their family. I would like to think that I'd do the same thing...
But how exactly does an 'illegal' get a credit card without an SSN??? Is this story legit??? Has it been reported on by a reputable news source??? I don't have the 99/500 card but doesn't the application require you to have a social?
I just don't understand the logistics of how a bank issues a personal credit card without an SSN.
This has been going on for some time. The banks will issue a low credit line/high interest credit card to the illegal aliens using a Tax ID Number. I don't know how illegal aliens are able to purchase homes with out SS numbers either, but they do. Let one of us go to the bank and ask for a home loan or credit card without a social security number….you’ll see how fast they turn us down.
By the way, I am a naturalized American citizen who emigrated here from Mexico and am completely against people being here illegally. I live in Southern California and see first hand the effects of illegal immigration. The “jobs Americans won’t do” are actually the “jobs Americans won’t do at the current wages.”
I’ll get off my soap box now……
