Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Fund Our Border Not The IRS Act of 2023 This bill requires that unobligated amounts made available to the Internal Revenue Service under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 be transferred to pay expenses of Customs and Border Protection, for constructing and maintaining physical barriers along the southern U.S. border, and for other purposes relating to border security.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Transfers unobligated funds from the IRS to Customs and Border Protection for border wall construction and other border security measures.
Aims to shift funding priorities from the IRS to border security.
Could impact the IRS's ability to carry out its responsibilities, such as processing tax returns and enforcing tax laws.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If this bill becomes law, it would reduce funding available to the IRS, which could make it more difficult for the agency to perform its duties. This could potentially slow down tax return processing and enforcement actions. Meanwhile, the additional border security funding could lead to more construction along the southern border, potentially impacting border communities and the environment.
