‘Profoundly dangerous’: Trump cracks down on illegal aliens using banks and credit cards

President Donald Trump has ordered a crackdown on the financial scheming by illegal aliens.

In a social media statement, he said illegals, and “foreign fraudsters” steal “billions every year from the American taxpayer.”

So as part of his administration’s work, he signed a new executive order to be used by Treasury “to stop Banks, Credit Cards, and Financial Institutions from being used to facilitate Human Smuggling, Drug Trafficking Illegal Immigration, and the Criminal Carets who orchestrate these activities.”

He said America’s financial system and strength must be limited to “those who have a legal right to be here, and who are engaged in lawful and legitimate commerce. Bank accounts being used to enable illegal immigration, or to store the welfare received by illegal aliens, will be shut down, and funds will ultimately face impoundment and seizure so they can be returned to taxpayers.”

He warned, “It is not ludicrous, but profoundly dangerous, that any illegal alien can simply present a Blue State driver’s License, or Biden border document, and have unrestricted access to the U.S. financial system.

“This also sends a clear message to the anti-ICE rioters that your violent disruptions are only strengthening our resolve. My executive order will also allow us to stop billions in leaving our country in all manner of criminal activity. It has been said this measure we are taking is the most effective means of reversing Biden’s border invasion. We shall soon find out!”

A report posted at the Gateway Pundit explained, “Banks will now be pressured to strengthen customer identification requirements and think twice before handing out accounts, loans, credit cards, or any financial services to those here illegally.”

The report said the announcement builds upon President Trump’s Executive Order, “Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System,” which directs the Treasury Department. Under Secretary Scott Bessent, and federal regulators to strengthen customer identification requirements, target illicit financial activity, and address financial risks associated with illegal immigration.
