🚨 BREAKING: Stephen Miller announces the Trump administration and Sec. Scott Bessent are moving to DE-BANK illegal aliens, making it UNBEARABLE to stay in America
BASED 🔥🔥
"Once illegal aliens lose their access to capital, that is going to be a MAJOR driver of self deportation!"
"We are NOT going to allow illegal aliens to use banking services in this country. You know, contrary to popular perception, the stupid phrase about 'illegal aliens living in the shadows.' Illegal aliens DON'T live in the shadows! Illegal aliens have credit cards."
"They have bank accounts and their paid with direct deposit."
"So illegal aliens fully participate in the commercial systems, the financial systems of America — shutting that down is a MASSIVE engine for deportation."
"The Treasury Department just issued new guidance to financial institutions to banks."
"The next step in this process is us meeting individually with banks and financial institutions on cooperating with us to remove the illegal aliens from the banking system.

“ Didn’t know it was that easy.”
I think it’s the political and popular pushback that’s hard
People hate Trump, probably mostly because the do what they’re told and they’re told to hate him, but they hate him for being right. He does these things after he establishes leverage. There won’t be enough pushback to stop this
Wouldn’t it be great if this also
brought back cash in common use.
I’m all in for that.
SSN's.
Are they now going to check all of our accounts against some secret list?
Nonsense.
Put those Flock cameras to use.
Still waiting for the EMPLOYERS of illegals to at long last be in Trump’s crosshairs.
Grok:
False (or at most partially/misleadingly true on a secondary effect, but wrong on the key specifics).
The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (Pub. L. 107-56), signed by President George W. Bush and passed by the Republican-controlled 107th Congress, did strengthen anti-money-laundering rules and require financial institutions to implement Customer Identification Programs (CIPs) under Section 326. However, it did not contain a provision in Section 326(b)—or elsewhere—that specifically allowed U.S. banks to accept the Mexican Matricula Consular card as valid ID for opening accounts (or for loans/credit).
everycrsreport.com
What Section 326 actually didSection 326 required the Treasury Secretary (jointly with federal regulators) to set minimum standards for verifying the identity of persons opening accounts: collect identifying information, verify it to a reasonable extent, keep records, and check against government lists of known/suspected terrorists.
everycrsreport.com
Section 326(b) directed a report to Congress (within six months) with recommendations on better identifying foreign nationals opening accounts (e.g., something like a taxpayer ID number for non-U.S. persons and ways for banks to access government data). It did not authorize any particular foreign ID document.
everycrsreport.com
The implementing regulations (finalized around 2003) required banks to obtain name, address, date of birth, and an identification number. For non-U.S. persons, acceptable numbers could include a U.S. taxpayer ID (SSN or ITIN), passport number and country of issuance, alien ID card number, or “the number and country of issuance of any other government-issued document evidencing nationality or residence and bearing a photograph or similar safeguard.” Treasury statements and the proposed/final rules explicitly noted that they did not discourage acceptance of the Matricula Consular. Banks retained flexibility (risk-based) in their CIPs.
cis.org
Context and limitationsBanks and credit unions have long been free to decide what IDs they accept (subject to CIP rules and their own risk policies). Acceptance of the Matricula Consular grew in the early 2000s (e.g., Wells Fargo and others) for deposit accounts, often paired with an ITIN. It is still accepted by some institutions today for basic checking/savings.
businessinsider.com
This was not a congressional “allowance” targeted at undocumented immigrants. The PATRIOT Act's focus was counter-terrorism and money-laundering controls after 9/11. Later bills (e.g., H.R. 773 to explicitly authorize the Matricula, or others to ban foreign government IDs other than passports) were introduced precisely because the regulations left the question open; none of those became the controlling law in the way the claim describes.
everycrsreport.com
Credit cards, mortgages, auto/business/personal loans are not automatically available. Many require a Social Security number, credit history, or other underwriting that the Matricula alone does not provide. Deposit accounts are the more common use case.
In short: Undocumented immigrants can (and do) open some bank accounts at institutions that accept the Matricula Consular (or similar foreign government photo IDs) under the flexible CIP rules that flowed from Section 326. But the claim overstates and misattributes this—the Act did not contain a Section 326(b) provision authorizing the card, and it was not a deliberate Republican/Bush policy to enable banking services for “illegals.” The regulations simply declined to prohibit it while emphasizing identity verification.
Yes, Biden regime did plenty of that.
“How can the feds tell whether or not a particular bank account belongs to an illegal?
SSN’s.
Are they now going to check all of our accounts against some secret list?
Nonsense.”
__________________________________________________________
You acknowledge our SSN’s can be used as a national ID system now, but then call the inevitable use of it on all of us nonsense? Ha!
Also de-house them by preventing illegal aliens from renting.
The whole damn Pacific NW is becoming a suburb of Mexico.
They’re leaving CA because they can’t afford the gas down there anymore…..plus Newscum is bussing his street people up here too!
How about preventing them from working and actually prosecute those who hire them.
No one is asking banks to.
DHS/Treasury will take care of it.
You’re out of touch:

They did it to Trump and his family. Karma.
Most use cash.
30% of Mexicans live in the USA.
I see them in Walmart on Friday nights and Saturdays with their 4 or 5 cartloads of groceries. Then the woman will pull out a stack of bills from her purse to pay for them that has to be at least $10,000...............
That have ro use banks for remittances.
