Sen. Tim Scott Introduces Bill Redirecting $15B From IRS To Border Security

  • Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott introduced legislation Wednesday that would redirect $15 billion that was meant to help pay for 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees and spend it on security measures along the southern border instead.
  • The Daily Caller first obtained the legislation, which is titled the Securing Our Border Act. The bill would specifically fund border inspections to better equip law enforcement to track down drugs and other illegal items or substances before they enter the United States.
  • The bill would also fund border wall construction and other technologies to help with tracking and enforcement efforts along the southwest border.
