| I was under the impression that Congress makes Banking laws. I just looked it up and I am correct that it is the Congress that makes banking laws . Trump can stick his EO where the sun doesn't shine! |

There are a lot of different jobs where you do not collect social security. United States postal system and many teachers pensions as well as other state employees. |
No one is getting a pension without ID. |
1. My grandmother never worked outside the home, no. Only when my grandfather died did my mom try to jump through all the hoops to get grandma an official birth certificate,. because she was born at home in a other state and never had one. Eventually she was able to get a "delayed birth certificate" but it took quite a while. 2. And they didn't need an official copy of your birth certificate and / a passport. Which Republicans wants to enforce. 3. Yes, I was able to get a driver's license in the *1990s* with my old license and a utility bill. The next three states I moved to, post 9-11, I had to take a folder with every available form of ID I had including birth certificate and passport. Virginia issued my birth certificate as a plastic card back in the 70s, so I had to pay and request official paper copies so they would be accepted. Two of my MAGA family members have not been able to qualify for a state "Real ID" because they haven't been able to get their own official paperwork together. They've lived in the same place their whole lives and the Real ID requirement was the first time proving who they were was foist upon them. Unfortunately for them, they have been divorced a lot. I've tried to help them, and found all the dates they were married and divorced, and given them step by step directions on how to order everything and they can't seem to follow through. 4. Yes, my mom was eventually able to get my grandmother her social security after about a year worth of paperwork. It was made even harder by the fact that no one who witnessed Grandma's birth (at home, never registered) was still alive. 5. My grandmother and all the relatives I am talking about live in a city in Virginia, and aren't "rural" residents. But, hey, if you want many MAGAs not to be able to vote or have banking services, it's ok with me at this point.. |

I find it hard to believe that any individual less than 100 years old living in a city in VA doesn't have a birth certificate, even if born at home. I can believe it if someone is over 100. |

Wouldn't it have been nice if Democrats hadn't rolled out the elred carpet. I mean for all the whining it's your fault suck it up buttercup.
Having said that I'd much rather this than pay for ICE. I mean ICE is fine, but this seems like a much cheaper way to get it done. I really never understood why our financial industry was allowed to provide services to foreign nationals. I mean I can understand holding money for a temporary Visa holder, but issuing mortgages. Then they whine when they have to leave. Talk about moral hazard. |
| But at least banking as a human sex trafficker, is fine. Les Wexner and other degenerates moving funds to Epstein...totally fine. |

Progressives so wanted to be like Europe! Progressives love big government solutions and the nanny state.
But suddenly.... |
Oh you loved your cartels, coyotes and human smuggling. What happened? Change of heart? |
Do you know that spouses receive spousal Social Security. Generally half of what the spouse who worked receives. So your grandmother did not collect that before grandfather died? Lots of spouses worked but might not have worked long enough to collect on their own and they get Social Security based on partner's benefit. |
But European countries also have standardized birth certificates etc. And if you want a large part of the existing population to go underground, stop paying taxes, well, not giving them access to banking will do that. They won't just disappear. |
Absolutely. My mom is in her late 80s and isn't in great shape, and her bank is the one she's had for decades in Pennsylvania. I'm **hoping** her birth certificate and marriage certificate are in a drawer in her apartment, but I have no idea if it is or not. I know for sure her passport is long expired. And let's pretend I can find all her paperwork (because she's not doing it, I am. In the midst of a full time job and raising children.) Then what? Does she need to present them in person? In Pennsylvania? So now I need to get her there somehow. (Hi, it's me. I'm the somehow.) At that point it's probably easier for us to have her just open a new account here with a national bank instead of a local credit union. Great for Wells Fargo, I guess. Will we be able to just transfer her money even if we haven't "proven" her citizenship? I'm confident we'll figure it out. I'm also confident it will take days of my life to deal with it. For no benefit. Cash under the mattress sounds better and better. F Trump and all his cronies and supporters. |
Just as people have said over and over again with regards to the stupid save act... "ID" and "proof of citizenship" are two different things. |
