And wouldn't Congress still have to approve the money?

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration will direct the Internal Revenue Service to issue tax refunds during the ongoing federal government shutdown, reversing previous policy, officials said Monday.

“Tax refunds will go out,” Russell T. Vought, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, told reporters in an afternoon briefing.

The move seeks to circumvent a potential political problem for the Trump administration by allowing taxpayers to claim refunds despite the protracted government shutdown, which is already dragging into Day 17.

Millions of taxpayers who typically file for refunds at the beginning of the year have been unsure when they will get their money back from the Internal Revenue Service. Under previous shutdown plans — and interpretations of federal law — the I.R.S. was prohibited from dispensing tax refunds when Congress has not approved money to fund the Treasury Department, as is the case now. ...

Democrats have criticized the administration over the shutdown and its potential to delay refunds. Administration officials have been looking for ways to ensure refunds could go through, even if President Trump and congressional Democrats fail to resolve their dispute over whether to fund construction of a wall on America’s southern border.

Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee said they began to see indications over the weekend that the White House was looking for a legal justification to reverse existing policy and allow refunds to be issued. But committee lawyers believe the law prohibits such a move, because refunds are paid out of the government’s general fund.

Committee staff said Monday they were struggling to get clarity from administration officials, many of whom are out on furlough.

“We keep trying to call people at I.R.S. and Treasury,” said Daniel Rubin, a spokesman for the Ways and Means Committee, “and there’s no one there.”

Once President Trump gets his Southern wall, he can start planning for a Northern wall as well. I don't want anybody dopey enough to cast a vote for Justin Trudeau just waltzing in here either.

This is NOT name calling.
I'm simply stating the fact, that you are indeed a very simple minded poster. This isn't even up for debate. It's a verifiable fact. We all see it, and we all understand you...and if we didn't before, the 1000th post using the same simplicity has made the point well enough.
Based on posts you've made (repeatedly...and repeatedly...and repeatedly) you are VERY simple (and repetitive).
This is NOT meant as an insult. Again, I'm very jealous of the simplicity that your mind operates in (based on your posts here).

It is true that if all the security attention is being focused on the southern border, it makes the northern border a more attractive one for traffickers to utilize.

Good news. Ginsberg was too sick to show up for oral arguments today.

Full throated blatant misogyny again,

Socialism...
