As I understand recent news, the US immigration authorities are going to use records of taxes paid to find people to deport.

This doesn't seem to be productive or beneficial to society, but I suppose that's not the point.

@collin It feels to me like having a very junior coding partner making random suggestions that *might* be right, if I can just derail my thought process to consider them. It's a pass from me.
