Team Trump cooks up a new bright idea to stick it to the illegals…

In a separate social media post, Bessent warned that illegal migrants “use our financial institutions to move their illicitly obtained funds.”

Describing that practice as “exploitation,” the Treasury secretary vowed: “It will end.”

“[President Trump] is right — if you’re here illegally, there’s no place for you in our financial system,” Bessent wrote.The post came on the same day the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Bureau issued an alert to money services businesses — such as check cashers, remittance processors and digital payment processors — asking them to be “vigilant in identifying suspicious financial activity involving illegal aliens who present significant threats to national security and public safety.”

The alert noted that money services businesses (MSBs) are generally required to file a suspicious activity report for a transaction that involves at least $2,000 and may violate federal law, including a “cross-border transfer of funds derived from unlawful employment or otherwise derived from funds the MSB knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect were illicitly obtained in the United States.”

If the admn. follows through and starts seizing all the money illegals are sending back home they will have no choice but to leave.

I've got mixed emotions about this from a humanitarian point of view.  There are probably 6-8 Hispanic men (likely illegal) living in small house and working for a landscaping co.that I see on the way to work.  They are likely sending money back to family in Mexico, where there is no way they can make as much.  Who knows how many people they are supporting.

I understand the issue.  People willing to work and not take welfare are due respect as they do it for the right reasons, to support family.

Unfortunately, they likely all wrongly breached our laws to obtain those jobs, so respect is not earned.

That cannot be rewarded by turning the other way.

We either have laws or we don't if people disregard them.

So they will get two $1000 money orders instead of one... this does nothing.
