First things first...

No, the first item on the agenda is to shutdown funding for the IRS. I heard it on NPR when the alarm clock went off this morning.

You see, "closing the border" is just a sham, they NEED all that cheap, docile labor, but making a big deal about it is how they pander to the knuckledraggers.

OTOH, making it harder for the tax authorities to acquire resources to investigate lawyer-protected tax dodgers has always been at the top of the Conservative agenda. Making sure the IRS is under-funded makes it difficult to go after corporate tax cheats (lawyers are expensive). But when the little guy makes a mistake on his taxes, or tries to get away with a little petty fraud, he's usually caught right away. Its the way the system has always worked, except now its going to be institutionalized and codified.

“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”

― Anatole France
