Another Trump plan dead on arrival : Banks collecting citizenship info isn’t legal.

[Marener]

So why doesn't congress fix that?
Banks should check citizenship of customers, its a national security issue.

Do we want Russians, or Chinese, or Iranians or drug cartels funding their covert operations here in the US thru banks??

Who could be against that?

They find their operations through cryptocurrency.

Just ask the guy that Trump pardoned who facilitated it.

So you want employers to be on the hook for hiring illegals but not the banks housing their money.

Make up your mind. You say you hate illegal things. So why don’t you hate Trump‘s illegal plan for the banks?

None of those KYC requirements include collecting or verifying citizenship status.
Not the area you highlighted, and not anything else.
Besides, be smart. Why would Trump plan to issue an executive order for something that is allegedly already law according to you?

The White House wants banks to collect citizenship status from customers. But..

Congress regulates banking, not the president. The Bank Secrecy Act doesn’t require citizenship verification and an executive order can’t change that.

And no, banks “voluntarily” complying doesn’t fix it. Courts treat private actors following government pressure as state action. You can’t launder an illegal policy through Chase.
This gets enjoined within days. The only question is which court does it first.

why are so many illegals in our country?

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

He lies about everything else; it's his thing.

Says the one who lied about a law mandating banks gather proof of citizenship, in a photo you posted that said nothing about citizenship. Every time this guy says something it’s a lie you remind me of your cult leader.

The article notes how it is the banks that aren't interested.

The banks are not interested in less deposits.

WOW.

THAT IS CRAZY.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Why don't the Democrats want the banks to know if a client is breaking our policy immigration laws?

The same reason they don't want people to have to prove they are citizens wen they register to vote.

Lefties, You just want the opposite of whatever Trump advocates.

YOU TOOK THE “TRUMP VACCINE”.

October 2020, the left shit on the EXPERIMENTAL GENE THERAPY SHOT:

“The public wants a COVID-19 vaccine that it can trust. Assuredly, FDA and its expert staff want that too,” Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., chairman of the subcommittee wrote in a letter to Hahn. “Unfortunately, President Trump has pledged to rush a vaccine into the market, and that undermines public trust in FDA’s ability to ensure a safe and effective vaccine.”

As soon as Biden won, lefties couldnt get enough shots.

Biden ran on MASKS FOR 100 DAYS.

Dang lefty banks anyways. Lol

Dang lefty banks anyways. Lol

Do they have to show IDs to open accounts?

Seems racist.

 

[d0gbreath]

The easy solution is run E-verify on every new account. If employers have to do it then why not the bank as well.

Are you the only person that hasn't heard that E-Verify is a joke?

We should have been keeping track of all the things these idiots did, tried to do, or wanted to do that was flatly illegal or unconstitutional.

 

[westwall]

Thats understandable

Banks are a business and this new rule will cost them money

And yet they are federally regulated and must follow thousands of rules mandated by the government

Including reporting cash transactions above $10,000

Above 2000.

One does not need to show ID to open a bank account?

I did not know this. I recall having to do this.

MY CIVIL RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED.

The article notes how it is the banks that aren't interested.

"Representatives for major banks and industry groups declined to comment."

But if you are a minority without access to a DMV near you they let you cash a check without ID and take the money out of the nearest white person’s account

Yes, hyperbole to rile the troops.

Banks are so racist. It is really sad.

 

[WEATHER53]

Banks are entitled to know and do know that cash moving around accounts are from citizens
