Department of Homeland Security directed the Internal Revenue Service to turn over the addresses of roughly 700,000 immigrants it is seeking to deport.
A lot of them actually do, because not paying taxes would be a crime, and it's been policy for decades to only really go after undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes.
If they go ahead with this plan, the IRS is going to be losing billions in revenue in the decades to come.
At this point if you don't have your papers in order to the satisfaction of Nazi America any interaction with the system is a liability. It's not just taxes, people will be skipping out on driver's licenses too.
Yes. My point wasn't that "they're not illegal immigrants because they pay their taxes", but that - of all the immigrants one could have - the ones that do pay taxes, while getting nothing in return for it are surely even more profitable for a state than actual citizens which can and do make use of public services.
At this point, surely its just easier to say he deported 700k people than to actually do it, his supporters can't possibly care about fact checking his statements so why bother making them factual.
