Donald Trump is considering a possible executive order that would require banks to make sure customers are U.S. citizens to create or keep their accounts, according to a new report.
The proposed action, reported byThe Wall Street Journal, would see banks collect information on individuals’ citizenship through requests for a new category of documents in order to open the accounts.
The Independent has contacted the White House for confirmation or further information about reports of the executive order, which has reportedly raised eyebrows among some banks in recent days.
I’m certain that suddenly de-banking all green-card holders will … do wonders for the US’s innovation-position, globally … won’t it?
Ideology masquerading as “thinking” never legislates properly.
Bullying idiots, with their oversimplification “reality” they’re doing their bullying in.

What is a superPAC?
Ooh, don’t say that out loud, citizens united might hear you
In 20 years, we’ll be hearing President Amazon’s state of the union address, followed by a rebuttal from Senator Walmart.
Of course not, just like rich non-citizens will have exceptions made for them. The rules only apply to the poors.
