ALIPAC - OBAMA'S DRIVE FOR AMNESTY! UNEMPLOYMENT ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH! DRUG CARTEL INVASION NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH?

Friends of ALIPAC,

We have just learned that President Obama plans to make a speech tomorrow to push his Amnesty agenda. We had hoped that ALIPAC's effort to push US Senator Lindsay Graham away from the negotiating table would buy us enough time to get through the elections without a huge battle over Amnesty legislation.

We are not sure what exactly is happening. Some of our advisers think that the recent death of US Senator Robert Byrd, who consistently opposed any form of Comprehensive Immigration Amnesty, may have emboldened Obama and the Amnesty backers. There are also strong rumors that Obama will try to give millions of illegals amnesty via some kind of executive order!

Another motivation for Obama's pep speech tomorrow may be that over 20 states now have legislators planning versions of Arizona's SB 1070 and the illegal aliens are leaving Arizona in droves! Many are heading home to Mexico, many are headed to your state. Amnesty backers fear that a mass exodus of illegal aliens from the US would destroy their push for Amnesty and permanent open borders in America.

We will be ready to respond to Obama tomorrow, but today we must immediately launch our second funds drive for 2010.

We hope that many of you will respond quickly and strongly to this call for funds, as we must raise a minimum of $30,000 by August 15. We hope that you will respond quickly so our efforts can stay focused on stopping Amnesty and launching our broader candidate operations to help us sweep the Congress in November.

We will send you more information soon, about some of the projects that we want to attempt with our limited funding this year, in future emails.

Please watch the funds drive progress bar at the top of each email during this drive and at the top of the ALIPAC website to help us make sure we reach our minimum operations budget needs.

Wells Fargo & Bank of America BANKSTERS to the DRUGSTERS INVADING OUR OPEN BORDERS!

BANKSTERS TO THE DRUG CARTELS... WELLS FARGO and BANK of AMERICA! GLOBAL CRIME WAVES!


These banksters have long illegally opened bank accounts for illegals! It’s not news, nor that both are generous LA RAZA DONORS!

Both made out like BANK ROBBERS handing out mortgages to illegals with stolen identities and fraudulent docs. The banksters knew that with Obama the legals would be sent the bills for that racket as well!

BANKSTERS AND ILLEGALS, that is OBAMA’S ADMINISTRATION!

U.S. banks' role in Mexican drug trade

Michael Smith, Bloomberg News
Wednesday, June 30, 2010


Just before sunset on April 10, 2006, a DC-9 jet landed at the international airport in the port city of Ciudad del Carmen, 500 miles east of Mexico City. As soldiers on the ground approached the plane, the crew tried to shoo them away, saying there was a dangerous oil leak. So the troops grew suspicious and searched the jet.
They found 128 black suitcases, packed with 5.7 tons of cocaine, valued at $100 million. The stash was supposed to have been delivered from Caracas to drug traffickers in Toluca, near Mexico City, prosecutors later found. Law enforcement officials also discovered something else.
The smugglers had bought the DC-9 with laundered funds they transferred through two of the biggest banks in the United States: Wachovia Corp. and Bank of America Corp.
This was no isolated incident. Wachovia, it turns out, had made a habit of helping move money for Mexican drug smugglers. San Francisco's Wells Fargo & Co., which bought Wachovia in 2008, has admitted in court that its unit failed to monitor and report suspected money laundering by narcotics traffickers - including the cash used to buy four planes that shipped a total of 22 tons of cocaine.
The admission came in an agreement that Wachovia struck with federal prosecutors in March, and it sheds light on the largely undocumented role of U.S. banks in contributing to the violent drug trade that has convulsed Mexico for the past four years.
Wachovia admitted it didn't do enough to spot illicit funds in handling $378.4 billion for Mexican currency exchange houses from 2004 to 2007. That's the largest violation of the Bank Secrecy Act, an anti-money-laundering law, in U.S. history - a sum equal to one-third of Mexico's current gross domestic product.
"Wachovia's blatant disregard for our banking laws gave international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their operations," said Jeffrey Sloman, the federal prosecutor who handled the case.
Since 2006, more than 22,000 people have been killed in drug-related battles that have raged mostly along the 2,000-mile border that Mexico shares with the United States.
Among the dead are police, soldiers, journalists and ordinary citizens. In Ciudad Juarez, just across the border from El Paso, Texas, 700 people had been killed this year as of mid-June.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon vowed to crush the drug cartels when he took office in December 2006, and he's since deployed 45,000 troops to fight the cartels. They've had little success.
The United States has pledged Mexico $1.1 billion in the past two years to aid in the fight against narcotics cartels.
"It's the banks laundering money for the cartels that finances the tragedy," said Martin Woods, director of Wachovia's anti-money-laundering unit in London from 2006 to 2009.
Woods says he quit the bank in disgust after executives ignored his documentation that drug dealers were funneling money through Wachovia's branch network.
"If you don't see the correlation between the money laundering by banks and the 22,000 people killed in Mexico, you're missing the point," he said.
Wells Fargo's effort
Wells Fargo regrets that some of Wachovia's anti-money-laundering efforts fell short, spokeswoman Mary Eshet says. Wells Fargo has invested $42 million in the last three years to improve its anti-money-laundering program and has been working with regulators, she says.
Wachovia is just one of the U.S. and European banks that have been used for laundering. For two decades, Latin American drug traffickers have gone to U.S. banks to cleanse their dirty cash, says Paul Campo, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration's financial crimes unit.
American Express Bank International paid fines in 1994 and 2007 after admitting it had failed to spot and report drug dealers laundering money through its accounts. Drug traffickers used accounts at Bank of America in Oklahoma City to buy three planes that carried 10 tons of cocaine, according to Mexican court filings.
Federal agents caught people who work for Mexican cartels depositing illicit funds in Bank of America accounts in Atlanta, Chicago and Brownsville, Texas, from 2002 to 2009. Mexican drug dealers used shell companies to open accounts at HSBC Holdings Plc, Europe's biggest bank by assets, an investigation by the Mexican Finance Ministry found.
Those two banks weren't accused of wrongdoing. Bank of America spokeswoman Shirley Norton and HSBC spokesman Roy Caple say laws bar them from discussing specific clients. They say their banks strictly follow the government rules.
Money changers
A Mexican judge on Jan. 22 accused the owners of six centros cambiarios, or money changers, in Culiacan and Tijuana of laundering drug funds through their accounts at the Mexican units of Banco Santander SA, Citigroup Inc. and HSBC, according to court documents filed in the case.
The money changers are in jail while being tried. Citigroup, HSBC and Santander, the largest Spanish bank by assets, weren't accused of any wrongdoing.
The three banks say Mexican law bars them from commenting on the case, adding that they each carefully enforce anti-laundering programs.

Law enforcement agencies have arrested more than 2,000 people in a 22-month investigation targeting Mexican drug trafficking organizations in the United States.

The probe, called Project Deliverance, focused on the transportation of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and marijuana along the Southwest border.

Over 400 of the 2,000 arrests were made Wednesday. Atty. Gen. Eric Holder is scheduled to hold a news conference on the operation Thursday.

The Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement worked on the effort with state and local law enforcement agencies.

Mortgage giants Wells Fargo and Countrywide Financial are accused of slapping dubious fees on homeowners struggling to save their homes. With fewer new mortgages being written, these
companies appear to be leaning on these lucrative fees to stay profitable—with devastating consequences for homeowners. We’ll have that report

Bank of America offering credit cards to illegal immigrants NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Bank of America (BAC : BAC Last: BAC) is offering credit cards to customers without Social Security numbers in an effort to pursue illegal immigrants and grow its business, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. While checking accounts and mortgages have been offered in the past, it's been difficult for undocumented workers to get major credit cards and therby develop a credit history. The bank has been quietly testing the program to provide credit cards to customers who hold a checking account for three months without an overdraft. Last week, the bank rolled out the program in 51 branches in Los Angeles , with plans on the books for national expansion later this year. Bank of America charges a higher interest rate and an upfront fee for the cards. We now have a list up at www.bankofamericaboycott.com that shows which banks do and do not accept the matricula. We want people to visit the boycott site, cut up cards, cancel accounts, move mortgages, sign the online petition, and call their member of Congress asking them to back Price and Blackburn 's call for Congressional hearings into BOA.

A republican form of government is not a spectator sport. It means you must jump in, roll up you sleeves and take personal and collective action. Of course, there are other options; you could let a dictator take over and do everything for you, but that path would give you Cuba , China , North Korea and other unsavory examples. Get smart.
