Illegals are already being paid in cash mostly and I imagine banking isn't that easy of an option for them, regardless.
How do illegals get loans for cars and houses then?
There is 99% chance this EO only applies to illegals, not legal residents. They are not going to put the entire EO that hasn't even been released into a tweet.
People are freaking out before any info has been revealed. The point is to encourage illegals to leave, which is why they are the only ones mentioned in the tweet. People assuming this will be for legal residents and that there will be global consequences for Americans as a result are not acting rationally.
Can we just wait to see the details before assuming the worst for once?
The drama is neverending.

Especially if places like the EU reciprocate. I have an interest in this.

It seems as though they are trying to do everything they can to avoid doing this. They — Donald and crew included — really, really don't want to piss off their donors. Abbott down in good ol' Tejas is the most egregious example of this.

Why not point this "we don't know the real text" concern trolling at those celebrating the X post?

Neither Republicans (it will hurt many businesses) or Democrats (don't want 12+ million gone in 3-6 months.) want this.
They should do it in conjunction w increased work visas, tax on remittance (could pay for the wall several fold) - and it won't be popular here- but I think they need a way to let a lot of them stay permanently- but without citizenship, voting rights, etc.
Republicans will never get a better time to get most of what they want. Otherwise, the next Dem in office could make executive orders in the wrong fashion.

How is this going to work without some companion authority like the Corporate Transparency Act?
So what that is is actually just an idea. If somebody liked that idea and wanted to make it into a law or an executive order, that's where the people that know all of the ins and outs of how to make it work get involved. While you might be interested in how the stew gets made, an approval of that idea in it's most basic form or an outright disapproval and why is what actually adds to this conversation and topic, not crying out the ingredients list and wondering why there's no garlic.

With this admin and how bad they are at policymaking, how the sausage is made is incredibly important. Just look at how badly they fricked up an easy layup like tariffs by picking a law that didn't authorize tariffs.
That level of incompetency is just unfathomable to intelligent people.

Don't think he can require a private business to do this via executive order can he?

Some earlier reporting on this

The Trump administration is considering requiring banks to collect proof of citizenship, like passports, from its customers, people familiar with the talks told Semafor.
The policy would be retroactive, which means banks would have to solicit documentation from current customers as well as future ones, the people said. REAL IDs, which do not prove citizenship, would not be considered eligible.
quote:
Already, the industry is pushing back out of concern that the potential move — via presidential order, not legislation — would be costly and complicated to implement. Illicit finance laws require financial institutions to collect some personal information on their customers, but not citizenship details specifically.
One financial services lobbyist called the idea a “complete nightmare” logistically. The lobbyist also warned of potential pushback from GOP voters: “The admin might think this is a good idea until Joe MAGA in Alabama is asked to present his papers.”
“Verifying every bank customer’s citizenship status would be unworkable,” said another person familiar with the recent talks. “Such a mandate could force every bank in America to solicit documentation that many everyday Americans do not have on hand. To put that into perspective, the US government has spent the last 20 years trying to encourage adoption of the REAL ID, and even that form of documentation does not constitute proof of citizenship.”

Why?

People like you are the problem with our world. You would prefer to look the other way while our society constantly devolves to more disarray with no accountability. We need to right the ship. It will be uncomfortable, but the course have been on will ensure that our children and grandchildren live in a worse society than ours.

You guys have complete faith in the accuracy of the government and financial institutions to target the right people and not make mistakes. I think a lot of people will get nervous at that prospect.

They used a statute that didn't authorize tariffs to enact tariffs? Link?
