(Congress Report) – The crisis along the southern border has been raging out of control over the last two years now, as the Biden administration has gone out of their way to ignore the whole situation, but a congresswoman from New York has just now introduced a piece of legislation that would divert money that is earmarked for the Deep State IRS to be used instead to secure the southern border we share with Mexico.
It’s truly mind-blowing that a congresswoman, from New York of all places, is the one who is attempting to take action and put a stop to the crisis that is draining southern states of their valuable resources. We are truly living in unprecedented times. Again.
Jordan Sekulow of ACLJ wrote, “Rep. Tenney hopes her bill, the DIRECT Act, will redirect that money way from going to the rogue Biden IRS to fund more audits on hardworking Americans, and instead use those precious tax dollars to combat the free flow of dangerous drugs and illegal immigrants coming across our border, overwhelming our border agents.”
The ACLJ recently featured Rep. Tenney on a broadcast where she provided an in-depth explanation of her new bill and why such a move is necessary right now.
“I just looked at this and said why are we adding 87,000 IRS agents? We already have 80,000 people working for the IRS, so you add 87,000 more? And remember, this is in the age of, we have computers, we have a lot more efficiency, so you don’t need as many people actually, but they’re doing this because, number one they want to create a bureaucracy. And number two, they want to go after these lower and middle income taxpayers who can’t afford lawyers, and accountants, and people that can actually help them with their tax returns,” the congresswoman revealed.
She then explained, “And I’ll tell you what happens as a member of Congress, and I’m sure that even the Democrats deal with this. We deal everyday with taxpayer advocacy. We help people who can’t get through the IRS, who can’t afford lawyers, so now we’re going to have even more money spent and more bureaucracy and more power people put in charge. Remember they added guns to the repertoire of IRS agents, so they’re almost like FBI agents which we now know are so corrupt. And I’m looking at this – this was already done, it was already appropriated, uni-party, one party rule by the Democrats. How can we change it? The only thing we could do is what they call rescission, and that’s take that money back and redirect it to our border patrol, and our border agents who are suffering at the border, at the expense of the taxpayers.”
It is so encouraging to see that Tenney is attempting to find a creative way to end a very serious issue we are experiencing in our nation today. And the party an individual is affiliated with should not really be a concern. This is an issue that affects Americans regardless of whether or not you are a Democrat or Republican. In fact, both parties work for the people of this country and as such, it is their duty to ensure the safety of every citizen who calls the U.S. their home.
“Our border is being flooded with illegal migrants. This is not a secret to anyone, despite President Biden and Vice President Harris behaving as if they have no clue what’s going on there, and the White House painting any Republican effort to secure the border a ‘political stunt.’ Meanwhile, the Biden Administration is allowing drug dealers, sex traffickers, and known terrorists to cross the border and disappear into the crowd. Innocent young women and children are in danger of being the victims of unspeakable crimes. Not to mention there’s been enough deadly fentanyl captured at the border to kill every single American, multiple times over. Imagine what we missed,” Sekulow asserted.
Fox News noted that Tenney said “For people to cross our border illegally undermines the rule of law, undermines our immigration system, undermines our sovereignty as a country, and undermines the taxpayers, because they, again, are footing the bill for all of this.”
She could not be more on the money.
