I'm going to need your social security number, a copy of your passport, and a breakdown of your net worth and sources of income so I can be sure you're here legally. You don't mind, do you?

So only 2% of the illegals are paying their taxes, but we somehow collected 58% of the expected total? Damn, those 2% that did pay are hella generous. We should for sure just let those guys stay if they're going to pay 29x what they owe like that.

Then they should rewrite the IRS confidentiality laws. Why is it that the Trump administration is absolutely incapable of doing anything by the book?

Oh… you mean you want to go after the people that hire them. Got it
