Seven months after a historic and sustained boycott of Bank of America was launched by over 100 organizations fighting against illegal immigration, BofA profits are diving 32%, the bank is laying off 3,000 workers, and shaking up management.
"Bank of America disgraced themselves nationally this year when the news broke they were going to give credit cards to illegal aliens," says William Gheen of ALIPAC. "CEO Ken Lewis refused to apologize or cancel the program despite massive public backlash so we launched the boycott and tens of thousands of Americans, perhaps more, have canceled their Bank of America credit cards and moved their mortgages elsewhere."
Bank of America reports heavy losses in their credit card division after many Americans cut their cards up and mailed them back to Bofa.

The controversy over BofA's decision to issue the credit cards to illegal aliens was covered on most major networks.
ALIPAC's President appeared on Fox News's Neil Cavuto Show three times to discuss the Boycott.
The boycott organizers are considering increasing the reach of the boycott by launching a TV Commercial to warn more Americans about the Bank.
"We may launch a TV Commercial to reach out to more Americans and pull more American consumers away from Bank of America," says Gheen. "We would prefer to end our Boycott, but Bank of America must publicly announce the cancellation of the cards for illegals program and discontinue their acceptance of the worthless Matricula cards for that to happen."
