U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday the signing of a "new and firm " executive order to end "fraud" and "reduce illegal mass immigration. "

This decree, which will be enforced by the Department of Finance, will prevent banks, credit cards, and financial institutions "from being used to finance human trafficking, drug trafficking, illegal immigration, and the criminal cartels that organize these activities," the US president said in a message posted on his social network.


  
In that publication, the head of the White House has argued that "illegal immigrants and foreign fraudsters steal billions from American taxpayers every year," and has justified the new measure as part of his administration's "historic effort to end fraud and reverse illegal mass immigration."
   
For Trump, "it's not funny but very dangerousfor any illegal foreigner to present a Democratic-ruled state driver's license or (Joe) a Biden border document to allow unlimited access to the U.S. financial system. "
