AZ Bill to Ban illegals from using banks, getting loans, or send money to their home country.

This video reports on Arizona Senate Bill 1421, legislation advanced by Republican lawmakers that aims to restrict access to the state's financial system for illegal migrants (0:03-0:21). The bill seeks to address perceived loopholes that currently allow undocumented individuals to open bank accounts, secure loans, and transfer money internationally (0:34-0:41).

Key provisions of the proposed legislation include:

Financial Access Restrictions: Banks, credit unions, lenders, and check-cashing businesses would be prohibited from accepting identification cards or licenses issued to unauthorized aliens or migrants (0:44-0:54). This also applies to IDs that appear similar to those of citizens but are marked to indicate that citizenship has not been verified (0:56-1:01).
Loan Regulations: Lenders would be banned from issuing loans to applicants using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) as the primary form of ID. An ITIN could only be requested after a lawful loan agreement is signed and if the borrower is unable to obtain a Social Security number (1:02-1:26).
International Money Transfers: Businesses facilitating wire transfers or money orders to foreign countries would be required to verify that the sender is not an illegal migrant (1:28-1:38).
Enforcement and Penalties: Businesses must submit monthly reports to the Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI) listing all individuals who sent money abroad. DIFI is authorized to conduct random quarterly audits beginning July 1, 2027, and can impose civil penalties equal to 25% of the transfer amount for violations (1:40-2:07).

Everyone is blaming energy for breaking the system.

I have spent my entire career pointing to the real issue:

It’s the money.

Simple metric:

To buy a barrel of oil:

In 1972:
0.06 ounces would buy a barrel.

Today:
0.02 ounces will buy a barrel.

Good as gold.

Here is the golden ticket you’ve been waiting for RV will happen this month
On April 8, 2026, Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodríguez announced a “responsible” wage increase that will take effect on May 1, 2026, though no exact amount was given. The increase is part of a broader plan to improve incomes through growth in the oil and mining sectors, while trying to avoid worsening inflation. Venezuela’s official minimum wage has remained extremely low since 2022, with many workers relying on bonuses to reach higher monthly income levels. Rodríguez also called for the lifting of U.S. sanctions, arguing that removing them would help Venezuela’s economy recover and boost workers’ incomes. The announcement comes amid warming relations with the United States, including cooperation in oil and mining sectors following recent political changes in Venezuela. Venezuela will increase wages as of May 1 RV need to happen before that .
