Sen. Cornyn introduced a bill that would require non-citizens from certain "high-risk" countries to notify the government at least 72 hours before they take large amounts of cash or money out of the United States.
Travelers would have to provide five years of history for all their travel documents, tax identification numbers, and alien registration numbers to help the government track who is moving money.
The bill requires detailed information about the person receiving the money overseas, including their name, address, phone number, and even their email address.
A key part of the plan is to find out if the money being sent abroad came from government benefit programs or public contracts, aiming to stop people from sending taxpayer-funded assistance to other countries.
This rule would apply to people from countries labeled as state sponsors of terrorism or those identified by the State Department as having a high risk of relying on U.S. public benefits.
