Dear John ,
We’re back with an update on the fees that exclude millions of immigrants from the American Dream. Trump’s DHS intends to significantly increase fees on immigration applications—pricing out millions from citizenship, lawful permanent residency (or green cards), work permits, asylum, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (or DACA) and more.
But, it’s not too late to help make a difference. [[link removed]] There are still a few weeks left to oppose this regulation through public comment. EVERY comment must be answered and a large public opposition could make the difference for whether or not these new fees stay in place!
Need more of an incentive? Here’s a little more info.
The new rule:
*
Will
increase
DACA
renewal
fees
,
raising
the
total
cost
from
$495
to
$765—a
55%
increase.
*
Effectively
end
a
long-standing
fee
waiver
program
that
has
kept
naturalization,
green
card
renewals,
and
other
benefits
accessible.
*
Increase
the
cost
of
naturalization
from
$640
to
$1,170—an
83%
increase.
*
Introduce
a
new
charge
on
asylum
applications.
On top of all of this, the new rule transfers $112 million that should be used for immigration and naturalization processing to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation and detention purposes.
TAKE ACTION [[link removed]]
If approved, these massive changes will transform access to naturalization, safety, and stability for millions. These harmful proposals would disproportionately affect low-income and working class people.
Don’t let the Trump administration block low-income immigrants from the American Dream. Make your voice heard today! [[link removed]]
The public now has until December 30 to submit comments on these proposed changes.
We can push the administration to back off of these price hikes with enough public pressure, but we need you to join the fight.
