Frank Lautenberg: “I am deeply troubled with this budget. The Coast Guard does not have adequate funding to do everything we expect them to…”

I believe it is time for this subcommittee and others to give serious thought to the way the IRS is funded.

Immigration is not a zero sum game. If we attract the best talent in the world to come to America, they will create jobs, not displace them.

The IRS must be funded at a level that enables it to provide necessary taxpayer assistance and to enforce the laws.

I am deeply concerned that recent cuts to the IRS budget are jeopardizing its ability to carry out this vital mission.
