Good idea? What say you VolNation.

Had they not come out and admitted this they could have said this was designed for anyone and then it would have just been a loophole illegals were taking advantage of. Their PR department should be shot for actually admitting this. By doing so, they've just made quite a few enemies and perhaps lost quite a bit of business.

Already accused of being too friendly with domestic partner benefits and being 'gay-friendly' BoA is rapidly becoming an enemy to many on the right side of the spectrum.

Could be a dilemma for those on the left as well. The service supports the "quality of life" (BoA's words) of the undocumented which should make some on the left happy. On the otherhand, the fees are extremely high and the customers have virtually no other choice for similar products -- another example of evil business preying on the downtrodden.

Hail Capitalism!
