That's the history, but you're missing the context of today. Many "unbanked" americans are immigrants voluntarily trying to avoid reporting and stay off the grid.

The solution lay in busting bias and fixing immigration laws though, not banking.

I take it you didn’t go to the rural Walmart on a Friday. Otherwise you’d know that isn’t anywhere near true.

This is prejudicial. Help me understand - how exactly do you know all the people at WalMart on Fridays are illegal immigrants?

I grew up in rural america and worked part-time alongside illegal immigrants, so yeah, it is true even if we're using anecdotal evidence. Your Walmart anecdote is an example of survivor bias.

I’m saying that most unbanked Americans aren’t immigrants. You’re the one who said they were mostly illegal immigrants.

Please point out where I said this.
