If you're 16 and legally a Dominican, you can get a cedula de menor, a non-voting cedula. They need to issue cedulas to foreigners arriving, passport in hand, at immigration, too, if the person wants one.
They fingerprint you for a cedula. This cedula should be given legal status as an ID for banking instead of having to present a passport. Then foreigners could easily open accounts in the Dominican Republic. That makes it way easier to invest money, you know, if you can open an account.
They should take all the AML/KYC regs and stuff them. The boundaries of the United States are the boundaries of the United States. Just the cedula.
Now, if a U.S. Senator gets caught taking bribes, she will be fingerprinted. Hey, DR...here's her fingerprints. Does she have money in the DR?
Let's see now, the fingerprints match the ones we took of somebody who got cedula # 1234567. Hey bankers, anybody open an account for somebody flashing cedula number 1234567?
That's how to trace these things. The bankers' job is to invest the money wisely, and to keep accurate records, not to snoop on the depositors' business.
