GOP Rep. Tenney Introduces Bill That Would Hire Border Patrol Instead of Biden’s 87,000 IRS Agents
The U.S. has already set a record for the number of illegal immigrants coming into the country this fiscal year – and while Democrats have done nothing about the border, they did find time to spend $40 billion on 87,000 new IRS agents.
Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) wants to flip that.
She introduced The Diverting IRS Resources to the Exigent Crisis Through (DIRECT) Funds for Border Security Act.
The bill would take the $45.6 billion set aside for the IRS in the recently passed “Inflation Reduction Act” and instead use the money for border security and Border Patrol agents.
Tenney contends that additional IRS agents means additional audits that would primarily target low and middle income families, although President Joe Biden and the Democrats have denied that will be the case.
A statement from Rep. Tenney about her new legislation reads:
“The Biden administration’s failure to secure the border and enforce our immigration laws has created an unmitigated disaster at our Southern Border that is impacting communities across the country.
Meanwhile, President Biden and Democrats in Congress are ignoring the problem and instead giving tens of billions of dollars to the IRS, not to improve its services but so they can audit an additional 700,000 working-class Americans.
“Joe Biden’s priorities could not be more twisted. Americans don’t want more IRS audits; they want a secure border and safer streets. The DIRECT Funds for Border Security Act will deliver just that by providing CBP with the money needed to hire new agents.”
