Imagine this:

One Executive Order. Every bank in America must verify:
If you’re not a U.S. citizen - your account is closed.

No loopholes.

No games.

No exceptions.

Watch what happens next:
• Fake identities disappear overnight
• Ghost accounts tied to fraud vanish
• Illegals can’t get paid, can’t wire money, can’t live off the system
• Self-deportation skyrockets - no raids needed

Now go one layer deeper…

No bank account = no clean paper trail
No paper trail = no fake voter registrations No fake registrations = cleaner elections
No more “mystery ballots” tied to phantom identities

Keep going…
• Billions in waste, fraud, and abuse get cut off at the source
• Taxpayer dollars stop flowing to people who never had a legal claim to them • Entitlement systems stabilize
• Honest citizens stop subsidizing lawlessness

And then the real-world impact:
• Smaller classroom sizes
• Less strain on hospitals and ERs
• Lower demand for subsidized housing
• Less pressure on local law enforcement


And yes… When you remove the conditions that enable illegal activity, you reduce the activity.

Not through slogans. Through structure.

This isn’t cruelty. This is clarity. This is what Law & Order actually looks like:

Clear rules -> Equal enforcement ->
No incentives for breaking the law

America First isn’t a chant. It’s a system where: If you want access to America’s benefits… you follow America’s laws.

Period.

Winning.

This will be a great way to cause a run on banks, and really kick off the Trump Great Depression. Proceed!!!

Hahahhahahhahaha…nah. Wishful thinking on your part.

Then again maybe? All those stolen taxpayers funds have to be stored somewhere other than a hole in the ground.

Green cards? Those here with legal status? work visas? Where do they put their money? I lived in another country, was it wrong that I had an account there? Was I supposed to carry yen in my pocket?

I think this means those here legally-not just citizens.

Again - the United States, while unbelievably welcoming to those who choose to follow our immigration laws and seek to assimilate into our society - should be wholly inhospitable and uninhabitable for illegal aliens to seek to subvert our laws and siphon off our tax dollars. Taxes that are seized at the point of a gun from law-abiding citizens, mind you.

They should face immeasurable difficulties in trying to do much of anything within the interior of the country when here illegally. Foremostly, they should live in constant fear of being apprehended and deported.

You can't bank. You can't rent/own homes. You can't travel. You can't crank out anchor babies. You can't feed off of the earnings of hardworking Americans. You can't send what money you are able to earn out of the country back to the shithole nation from whence you hailed and subsequently fled.

How is this going to work without some companion authority like the Corporate Transparency Act?

1) Use a CC and pay it off with money from a bank in your home country.
2) Go through the legal process to become a citizen or visit legally long term and open a bank account.
3) Leave the country and go home where you can bank legally.

I’m sick of the fraud and draining of our money by illegals. We need to clean this up and then look at how we can responsibly allow people to visit and not take advantage of our wealth.

That's an simplistic and unworkable response, ftr.

An ideological response-not a Real-World response- that completely disregards the reality of millions of LEGAL visitors, workers, green card holders etc.

Let's say there is a foreign owned plant here run by Mr Cho. Mr Cho provides 2000 jobs in Bawville. Does Mr Cho get to have a bank account? Or the French teacher at LSU who is here for a year on an exchange or all those who applied LEGALLY, work and have families here legally with a valid green card and have to pay mortgages and so forth.

There are people here-who we WANT here who need banking services. Reserve your fire for illegal immigrants.

may help, but people will use Venmo, apple pay, cash, etc.


Best way to stop illegal immigration is to kill the jobs. Fine the employers.

$1000- fine for 1st offense

$10,000 for offense 2-5

$25,000 per- for 6+ offenses



anyone (including illegals) reporting such offense gets 10% of fine paid by the employer.

Unless it is much better thought out than the blanket statement in the tweet, it is going to have a lot of second-order consequences. Lots of US citizens have bank accounts in other countries (I bet Trump is one, and I have an account in the UK). If those countries reciprocate, there will be a ripple of significant issues to international trade and business. It is one thing to get rid of all the accounts of people or businesses here illegally, and a whole different thing to close every account of every non-citizen. There are lots of ways around this for illegals, far fewer for legal/above-board non-citizens.

It's just dumb.

It will be walked back to something more in line with what you're saying, until some people overstay their visa and it makes waves in the echo chamber.

This also doesn't really touch on corporate entities who are legal US companies who may be owned by foreigners. Again, why something like the CTA will have to be passed.

Yeah it's just a bad policy that's going to become unworkable in a global economy.

Illegals are already being paid in cash mostly and I imagine banking isn't that easy of an option for them, regardless.

Oh Dear God.

I think we're all going to be ok

Illegals and those who illegally support them won't be.

Yeah with electronic payment systems outside of banking (some of those are banks, technically), it makes this EO kind of silly.

This is an actual use case for crypto as well.
