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

[Missouri_Mike]

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

Yet employers are expected to use it. Is it perfect? Probably not but it’s what we have for now.

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.

I can’t wait for you to explain how illegals having bank accounts is a constitutional right.

Just because it's "expected" doesn't mean that it is done. Plus, look it up. It's so far below perfect that it's a joke.

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?

Looks like they require valid government IDs.

Are blue states giving government IDs to illegal aliens?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

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.

What did I say about the law?

Link?

Or were you lying again?

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

I brought this back up because my truth is being delegated to the bottom of the page again. 5 out of the last 7. A statistical near impossibility

 

[WEATHER53]

How is it lib loons feel they can offer the fallacy that banks can’t require identification?

Oh my bad. Thanks for clarifying that the excerpt of the law you copy and pasted meant nothing whatsoever.

This thread is about citizenship documents being required , dodger.
Wrong thread.

Actually Trump has legal grounds for mandating this.

• Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, which sets "minimum standards" for identifying customers, to include citizenship as a required attribute for risk management.

The great man is about five steps ahead of you leftwingers.

My post was about current requirements, which include government ID.

Are the current ID requirements illegal?

Your post is thread-derailing if it doesn’t refer to my thread topic.
Go start a thread about requirements that don’t have anything to do with proof of citizenship .

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.

Did you post any evidence that requiring proof of citizenship is illegal?

Or is that just your feelings again?

If they refuse to open bank accounts or loan money it's one thing, but if they lock or drain peoples' accounts it's entirely another

This thread is baseless and pointless

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

You don’t even know the plan, did you not read the content of your own link? There is no plan
