Overview
In its latest attack on immigrants, on November 14, 2019, the
Department of Homeland Security published a -
[link removed] proposed rule increasing the filing fees on many immigration
applications, eliminating most fee waivers, and transferring over
$200 million to ICE. If implemented, these changes will make
immigration benefits inaccessible to low- and moderate-income
families while transferring the burden of enforcement onto the backs
of immigrants, U.S. citizens and U.S. companies, all of whom would be
forced to pay higher fees.
Join the ILRC to learn how you can fight back against these changes.
During this presentation, we will discuss:
The state of play including the main changes proposed in the fee
rule, upcoming changes to fee waivers, and what these changes could
mean for our communities;Ways to resist these changes including how
to draft and submit an effective public comment by December 16, 2019;
andThe importance of involving your Members of Congress.
