A viral video on X is drawing attention after a Fort Worth woman allegedly witnessed what she described as an organized scheme involving illegal immigrants using a check-cashing business to send money to Mexico while also receiving taxpayer-funded benefits.
In the video, the woman, who goes by the username “justash_4.0,” described what she saw at a local check-cashing business:
“This little check cashing place called Cambiamos Cheques. It’s a place where you go if you don’t have a bank or very good ID, and they charge you a fee and you cash your check. And of course every Friday there was a line of people from the neighborhood, getting their check cash. And one thing I noticed one day is that certain people would go and cash their check in the, you know, the check cashing area. And then they’d move right down to the Western Union window where they would send money,” she said.
She said a friend explained why the Western Union line was always long:
“Then she proceeded to explain to me that it’s mostly illegal immigrants that are here working under the table, taking their checks and getting them cashed and then sending most of that money. They would keep maybe a couple hundred bucks out of their check and send most of it back to their families in Mexico,” she said.
According to the woman, the problem is compounded because many of these individuals also receive government benefits despite not being in the country legally.
