Ban illegal aliens from accessing the American banking system.
Occurrences
Evidence
Self said he introduced the House companion to Senator Tom Cotton’s legislation, the Know Your American Customer Act, to bar illegal aliens from accessing the banking system.
The Senate companion bill states it would require financial institutions to verify citizenship and legal status, and was introduced and referred to committee.
Assessments
Keith Self made a concrete federal legislative attempt by introducing the House companion to the Know Your American Customer Act during his current House term. The available evidence shows introduction and referral-type activity, not enactment or implementation of a banking-system ban. Because the promised outcome has not been delivered, but Self did make a serious legislative effort toward it, this should be scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
