Listen up, folks, because this is the kind of story that makes you want to high-five the nearest bald eagle. Back when Joe Biden was stumbling through the White House like a guy who forgot where he parked his ice cream truck, he signed off on a massive cash infusion for the IRS that was supposed to unleash an army of pencil-pushers on hardworking Americans. We’re talking 87,000 new hires, all geared up to squeeze every last dime out of your wallet. But fast-forward to President Trump’s triumphant return, and those same bureaucrats are getting a reality check: instead of auditing grandma’s bake sale, they’re being redirected to the southern border to help boot out the illegal invaders who’ve been turning our country into a free-for-all. It’s poetic justice, America First style—turning a liberal nightmare into a patriotic win.
The Biden Blunder: Arming the IRS Against Americans
It all kicked off on August 16, 2022, when Biden put his shaky signature on the so-called Inflation Reduction Act. This bloated bill wasn’t about taming prices—it was a Trojan horse for pumping nearly $80 billion into the IRS over the next decade. The plan? Hire up to 87,000 new employees to beef up enforcement, audits, and collections. Sure, the spin was that this would crack down on fat cats dodging taxes, but we all know the real target: middle-class folks, small business owners, and anyone who dared to question the regime’s spending spree.
By early 2023, the IRS was already ramping up, announcing plans to bring on 30,000 new staffers in the first two years alone. Fast-forward to January 2025, and the agency had ballooned past 100,000 employees total, thanks to that funding surge. But here’s the kicker—these weren’t just harmless desk jockeys. Among them were thousands of enforcement types, including about 2,100 criminal investigators armed and ready. Biden’s crew claimed it was all about “modernizing” the tax system, but the math told a different story: more audits, more harassment, and a clear message that Uncle Sam was coming for your paycheck harder than ever.
Of course, this hiring frenzy came amid sky-high inflation—irony much? Prices were soaring, families were scraping by, and Biden’s brilliant idea was to sic more government goons on the very people footing the bill. It was classic Democrat overreach: expand the bureaucracy, punish the producers, and pretend it’s for the greater good.
Trump’s Turnaround: From Tax Hounds to Border Hounds
Enter Donald J. Trump, back in the Oval Office after the 2024 landslide, ready to drain the swamp for real this time. On January 23, 2025, one of his first moves was an executive order slapping a freeze on IRS hiring. No more bloating the beast on the taxpayer’s dime. But Trump didn’t stop at stopping the bleed—he flipped the script entirely.
By February 2025, the Department of Homeland Security was begging to borrow IRS muscle for immigration enforcement. We’re talking deputizing those criminal investigators—yes, the armed ones—to help track down and deport illegal aliens. A deal was inked allowing ICE to tap IRS data for locating deportees, cross-checking names and addresses to speed up removals. Reports from that period show up to 250 IRS agents getting reassigned, some using tax records to pinpoint where these lawbreakers were hiding out.
Here it is:
Remember when the blood-sucking Democrats hired 87,000 IRS agents to hunt down the American taxpayer?

And it didn’t end there. Throughout spring and summer 2025, Trump ramped up the reassignments across the board. IRS personnel joined forces with ATF, DEA, and FBI agents—shifting priorities from white-collar probes to rounding up migrants. By May, Chicago-based IRS investigators were being trained for deportation duties, hunting gangs and reuniting separated families under new enforcement pushes. Come June, feds from unusual corners, including IRS refugee officers, were deploying for ICE raids. Trump’s budget for immigration enforcement hit a whopping $175 billion, dwarfing even Russia’s military spend, and part of that meant repurposing Biden’s IRS horde into border warriors.
Critics whined about “legal risks” and “training gaps,” but the results spoke louder: deportations surged, borders tightened, and Americans finally saw government muscle aimed at actual threats instead of their bank accounts. By mid-2025, the IRS had shed over 20,000 employees through deferred resignations and attrition, with more cuts looming. Trump’s message was clear: if you’re not protecting America, you’re out.
The Big Picture: America Wins When Bureaucrats Switch Sides
This whole saga is a masterclass in why we needed Trump back. Biden’s 87,000-strong IRS buildup was a weapon aimed inward, designed to terrorize citizens while the border bled open. Trump? He saw the waste, the overreach, and turned it outward—against the real invaders draining our resources. Recent numbers from 2025 show deportations on pace to shatter records, with IRS agents playing a key role in tracking down millions on bogus Social Security rolls.
It’s not just smart; it’s satisfying. No more funding a tax tyranny that ignores the elite while hammering the little guy. Instead, we’re securing the homeland, enforcing the law, and putting America First. If that’s not a comeback story, I don’t know what is. Keep fighting, patriots— the swamp is draining, one reassigned agent at a time.
