Independent lawyer Nadija Samour said that this was an unusual request not usually required by the bank, and was “beyond legal.”

The lawyer is saying illegal without saying illegal. Saying "beyond legal" gives her some protection if a judge does make a ruling that it is not illegal.

You should always listen to context. Languages are not competely logical.

The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America, between Canada and Mexico.

This has been pretty much true for every country I have visited or lived in, except one time in France some one referred to my Canadian cousin as American.

"America" or "Americas" can refer to the continents which is why you should pay attention to context. When someone says they have an American citizenship, they are not citizens of a continent.

In this comic, if someone is in North America, when they say America, they are referring to USA.

The comic's usage of "America" is correct.
