Cross-border payment methods, such as cryptocurrencies, allow individuals to transfer money internationally, often bypassing traditional banking systems. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions countries for various political and security reasons, restricting financial transactions with these nations. Proponents argue that such a ban prevents financial support to regimes considered hostile or dangerous, ensuring compliance with international sanctions and national security policies. Opponents argue that it restricts humanitarian aid to families in need, infringes on personal freedoms, and that cryptocurrencies can provide a lifeline in crisis situations.

Yes. Only if they are expected to use that money for illegal activities.
@9TY279W4wks4W
Don't ban, but put regulations or surveillance on these type of transactions.
@9TSS8RJ4wks4W
Only if the family is needing the funds to flee the country
@9TS28Y84wks4W
Not ban but certainly safe guards should be in place to ensure the funds are not for war/terrorist activities.
@9TG8PL61mo1MO
If they were closely monitored for criminal use, yes
@9T64K8R1mo1MO
No, but they should be heavily monitored and the government should be able to control it.
@9SW5R6B 2mos2MO
No, but the money must be monitored to ensure it doesn't fund nefarious behaviour.
@9RZPX672mos2MO
if youre going to allow immigration at the levels youve introduced, let them send money where they need to
