Original Note:
There are about 2x more USBP agents patrolling the border than IRS agents handling taxes. USBP, under CPB, is mandated by Congress to have at least 22,478 agents by 2025 (about 21.5k exist today). About half of that (~10k) is the amount of IRS agents handling taxes. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/4828/text? https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p55b.pdf#page=87
