Remember when Ron Paul said in one of the debates that the border fence could be used to keep us in rather than keep illegals out? He was ridiculed for that statement.
If you don't remember you can refresh your memory here:
Now Barbara Boxer has introduced legislation that would take away US citizens passports and their right to travel if they don't pay their taxes:
A new bill making its way through Congress could allow the federal government to prevent Americans who owe back taxes from leaving the country.
Owe the IRS? You're Not Going Anywhere

A new bill making its way through Congress could allow the federal government to prevent Americans who owe back taxes from leaving the country.
The provision is part of Senate Bill 1813, which was introduced by Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) in November and passed by the Senate on March 14 “to reauthorize Federal-aid highway and highway safety construction programs, and for other purposes.”
Those “other purposes” have come to include a little-known amendment recently introduced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that would allow the State Department to revoke, deny or limit passports for anyone the Internal Revenue Service certifies as having “a seriously delinquent tax debt in an amount in excess of $50,000.”
While the provision does make exceptions if the debt “is being paid in a timely manner” or “in emergency circumstances or for humanitarian reasons,” it doesn’t require that a person be charged with tax evasion before having their passport revoked -- only that the IRS has filed a notice of lien or levy against them.
Constitutional Attorney Angel Reyes says that’s a violation of due process and is unconstitutional.
“It takes away your right to enter or exit the country based upon a non-judicial IRS determination that you owe taxes,” Reyes told FOX Business. “It’s a scary thought that our congressional representatives want to give the IRS the power to detain US citizens over taxes, which could very well be in dispute.”
Financial Adviser Clark Hodges says the measure is especially concerning given the high number of taxpayers it could affect.
“There are so many people that fall into that situation, and I think that’s too invasive. Especially coming out of a bad economy there are a lot of people behind on a lot of things,” he told Fox Business

Scary.

This is a dumb idea and I doubt it ever either gets passed or upheld if they do pass it.
But the connection to Ron Paul's border fence comment? A fence along the Mexican border isn't going to stop people who want to leave the country over back taxes.
