"It has been reported that the Trump administration is working with Palantir Technologies to develop a vast federal data platform that would integrate personal records from various agencies, including the IRS, Social Security Administration, and Department of Homeland Security. This platform is designed to connect sensitive records across key agencies."

It would certainly cause anyone without a US residence permit to think twice before paying taxes they could duck.
One recent estimate is ~$26bn/year in income and payroll tax paid. This is the figure put out by a strongly anti-immigrant group founded by a eugenicist, so I'm guessing that is not wildly understating the number.

This is hilarious, given that one of the main Right wing tropes has, for years, been the surveillance by the Federal Government, how they’re putting microchips to track you in vaccines, how the FBI is infiltrating their secret lodge meetings, how vocal the reaction has been to National Identity Cards, and so on.
Now it’s all going to be in one giant file cabinet, available to multiple agencies 24/7, presumably with some sorts of “checks and balances.” Sure.

We don't have National Identity Cards in the US, just something the eGov't is plugging called a "RealID".
