The cost of becoming a US Citizen just went up drastically. And asylum is no longer free

The Trump administration announced on Friday an exorbitant increase in fees for some of the most common immigration procedures, including an 81% increase in the cost of U.S. citizenship for naturalization. It will also now charge asylum-seekers, which is an unprecedented move.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published on Friday a final rule in the Federal Register that details the new cost for dozens of immigration and naturalization applications, a further change in immigration policy to curb legal immigration of low-income foreign nationals.

The fees’ adjustment “to ensure U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recovers its costs of services,” they agency said in a press release, includes a $50 fee in the Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal. That will make the United States one of only four countries around the world that charge a fee for humanitarian protection.

  4. Trump could have done this in the first 100 days, not the last.
    Trump could have brought charges against Hillary (his good friend) in the first 100 days
    Trump could have had Mexico build the wall (unknown how exactly he was ever going to do it?)
    Trump could have drained the swamp, instead of filling it up with Chabad Lubavitcher criminals.
    Trump could have protected the Water, Land, and Air from increasing pollution.
    Trump could have investigated the real birth place of Barry Sorteos
    Trump could have investigated the lying Michael Robinson's claim to First Lady (a blatant lie)

  6. @9am Times have changed and that wasn't a part of the Constitution any more than "yes we can" is.

  7. This article in in the Miami Herald and screams sensationalism. Instead of giving examples like $50 in the headline, they turn it in to opinion by using the word “drastically.” This type of journalism is part of the problem.

  8. Northwest Woodsman: What is not stated 09:00 is that those words were intended for a homogeneous culture from Europe, not every slug in the universe. Those not only were not welcome, but in that era did not have a means of travel to reach this country. Actually, immigration laws from that time prohibited non assimilatible cultures from entry. Those who were forcibly brought here were a mistake and we know how that turned out.
