The IRS normally doesn’t share files with anyone. Don’t you know the old saying? The best way not to get caught as a drug dealer is to file your taxes.
If you look at my other comment, undocumented people in the US contribute over $90B in taxes every year!

How do you mean? The whole point is to encourage people, everyone, to pay taxes. It’s a great system. Taxes enforcement should be truly independent from all other agencies to maximize trust and honesty.

I just mean that the aphorism about drugs dealers is colorful and amusing. I understand it’s making a real point but it’s also funny.

Fair enough. The same saying often goes for sex workers.
That’s how they ended up catching Al Capone, on tax fraud charges.
