A federal judge in San Francisco on Tuesday temporarily blocked a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) rule that sought to better fund services for people seeking citizenship and asylum through an increase in application fees, citing that it would discriminate against low-income applicants.
The block comes after immigration rights groups filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
The final rule was put in the federal register in August, including an explanation of how it is in keeping with President Donald Trump’s efforts to analyze and adjust cost and benefits at out-of-control federal bureaucracies.
The rule stated, in part:
USCIS conducted a comprehensive biennial fee review and determined that current fees do not recover the full cost of providing adjudication and naturalization services. Therefore, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is adjusting USCIS fees by a weighted average increase of 20 percent, adding new fees for certain immigration benefit requests, establishing multiple fees for nonimmigrant worker petitions, and limiting the number of beneficiaries for certain forms.

Wallace asked questions about the President's taxes and "Proud Boys" (whoever the hell they are) but not one question on immigration policy.
What was this about? :pondering:

Why is it discriminatory to demand people who wish to become citizens here not pay their way?
This is certainly not unconstitutional to want the best people we can get so we improve as a nation, not degrade.
I certainly would not want my daughter to marry someone who could not pay his own way.
