Personal banker quits over Mexican IDs!
Worker acts to take America back by refusing to help illegals.
ARLINGTON, Virginia - February 15, 2009 - A personal banker in Arlington, Virginia, is quitting his job after Chevy Chase Bank, one of the largest and best-known banks in the Washington, D.C. region, announced it will begin accepting consular cards from customers who many suspect are illegally in the country.
The bank announced its "Hispanic Banking Initiative" during a pilot program and is now accepting Matricula Consular de Alta Seguridads, or MCAS, at all of its branches so customers without U.S. government IDs may open accounts.
The MCAS is an identification card issued to foreign nationals living in the U.S. by the Mexican government via their 47 consulates. The National Council of La Raza estimates that more than 350 financial institutions currently accept them. Customers with the IDs - including illegal aliens - are able to open checking and savings accounts, order check cards, safe deposit boxes, cashier's checks and wire billions of dollars to Mexico.
"I was becoming stressed out at work because I just knew in my heart that if someone came to me with this card I couldn't just compromise my principles and open an account for them," Chevy Chase personal banker Albert Thompson told World Net Daily.
After praying about his circumstances, Thompson said he is taking a stand - even if it means facing unemployment during a recession.
"I came to understand that sacrificing my principles is more expensive to the soul than unemployment is for my wallet," he said.
Now he is refusing to compromise his values by catering to customers who have violated U.S. immigration law.
