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.

What happens to legal residents working in US, but not citizens?
The honest answer is that nobody can be certain right now, including experts and the banks themselves, because the actual text of the executive order hasn't been released yet.
Yeah, thats why I was asking in reference to the post. It looks like OP is claiming that American banks should close accounts of anyone who is not a citizen. Honestly, thats completely asinine.
The focus should be on requiring proof of status, not citizenship. Get rid of bank accounts belonging to illegals and entities used for money laundering. Not accounts of residents.
Yeah. I mean, what the heck. I've been a permanent and semi-permanent resident at least three countries of which I was not a citizen.
Taking a deeper look, it looks like all the propaganda media are spinning this as if its "no banks accounts for non-citizens", but in reality, it's actually requiring banks to check/verify the immigration status. Which would mean a) illegal immigrants would be shut out, but citizens and legal immigrants, including workers and permanent residents, would certain be able to have and open bank accounts.
Trust the propaganda merchants to spins the bulld*st and do everything to generate outrage at the <shock> <horror> inhumanity of the draconian Trump administration!!!!
Shameless inflooencer click merchants would just chime in on the rage bait, 'cos rage sells and generates clicks. Play to the crowd, either the woke neo-Marxist lefties, or the rabid, unthinking 'maga' (small letters) crowds.
Every country in the world today includes citizens and non-citizen permanent legal residents.
Methinks this Rob Cunningham guy is a shameless influence merchant. Or an absolute idiot.
No sane individual can argue with that and I hope they remain within scope. But this is not my opinion. The X post (at the end of the article) with a link to Bloomberg what Scott Bessent said, that the executive order is in motion.
Except that the X post doesn't actually reflect what Bessent said. Clickbait / ragebait.
What's the discrepancy?
As far as I can see, the idea of the executive order is "Check citizen status / immigration status of customers" and NOT "Only citizens can have bank accounts".
That blurb by the X OP is totally false and very clickbaity.
The exec order would be to get banks to know who their customers are, whether citizen, green card holder, etc., or in the country illegally.
The OP completely ignores the ideal of legal status, and essentially asserts that anyone who is NOT a US citizen is in the country illegally or immorally (and therefore will not be allowed to have a bank account).
Its perfect ragebait for inflaming stoopid neo-marxists with fake information, and painting MAGA as totally extremist and ethnically untenable.
He positions himself as a patriot, but its clear his account is also steered toward promoting his 'show' and business.
"Book Rob"
The bank already knows who they are. The trick is gaining compliance and enforcement.
They should have to go to the bank and verify their status in the US. The US government and the Trump administration will figure it out. There might be a few glitches but they will be worked out. And I hate to say what I said in the sentence before the last one-but, I will never fully trust our government again, the Trump administration is very close to one I will trust-but verify!
What happens when illegals are in charge of the confirming ?
Sorry Confirming what ?
Citizenship. The only new thing being confirmed by the banks.
I think we are asking two different, independant questions.
You are talking about how this citizenship can be enforced.
I am questioning the idea itself.
Both valid and easily policed if the Banksters were not criminals to start with

Common sense and corruption are like oil and water. Its no coincidence they've raised their crops dumber and dumber generation after generation.
Your plan is too common sense and logical, which means it would be highly effective.
Americans have been under attack by parasites forever. Pols, illegals, rest of the world, and big pharma created parasitic diseases.
Whole planet needs a thorough deworming. I hope that's what's going on and will continue to happen.
As we know parasites can be clever...move, hide, wait, and reappear in different spots at later times. Zero Sum Game.
Mankind's immune system has been activated and when we're done healing, the parasites will lurk in the shadows and wait for their next opportunity. It's cyclic, let's see how long before we drop our guard.
Unfortunately a lot of bankers are deep staters who won’t comply. They’ll get some judge to stop it until it’s decided on by an appeals court or SCOTUS.
Actually, banks have to comply with Treasury directives, defying a federal regulator puts their entire banking license at risk. No banker is going to sacrifice that over politics.
Hence, the notion of judge shopping.
With a good appeals process to ensure no grandma who lost their birth certificate doesn’t get left out.
Actually, use tax records.
Now that's smart
Gee, common sense starting to be common again.
One question. Don't a lot of illegals use cash only? They seem to have a lot of cash on hand to wire their money out of the country.
Edit: I may be biased though. As I live in Texas and see many hispanic people with cash getting money orders and such.
You're right, they do use cash, and what if Trump has something else in mind. This might sound crazy but what's better than cash for sending money home when you don't have a bank account? Bitcoin? Let's say there's 30 million illegals in this country trying to send Bitcoin home. The recipients need to get Bitcoin so that's 60 million (these are hypotheticals for argument's sake). The Bitcoin Demand versus Supply would drive the price up possibly 10x.
I think a better option would be something like a 50% tariff on remittances to certain countries.
Do none of you have foreign bank accounts? They are necessary to do business internationally, especially to pay tariffs and taxes in foreign countries. We deal with suppliers in Europe, and must have a euro- based account to function. I imagine the same is true in the US side.
In many countries it is hard to get a bank account as a non-citizen without jumping through hoops.
For the average shmo that puts money in then pays it right back out, there is little incentive for banks to open accounts for anyone and they let it show...
