Trump is trying to make it too expensive for poor American immigrants to stay
By Annalisa Merelli December 6, 2019

Many of the immigration policies enacted by the administration of US president Donald Trump in the last year have been so shocking they’ve made headlines worldwide: family separation, zero tolerance, detained children, to name a few.

But not all of Trump’s efforts to restrict immigration have been so dramatic. In many cases, the administration has chipped away at the avenues for immigration through small bureaucratic changes, like the recent proposal to increase immigration-related fees.

On Nov. 14, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposed a review of the fees required to apply for various immigration services. The proposal is open for comments until Dec. 16. After that, if the new fees are confirmed, they will become effective immediately.

We're not supposed to accept immigrants who will become public charges in the first place, but thats just another law the left finds inconvenient & has chosen to ignore.

This comment by the article author is BS. This, obviously, is Immigration related, but I'm moving this thread to Editorials with the thought that it will get more comment activity there.
