The Republicans of the US house propose fees for immigrants to finance Trump's procedure House of Representatives

The Republicans of the Congress propose a number of new fees for immigrants who want to stay in the United States, in a step in which the supporters of warning will create insurmountable financial obstacles.

Through legislation, which is moving by GOP controlled by GOP, immigrants can potentially pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to seek asylum, to take care of a minor in the custody of the government or to apply for a humanitarian probation.

The Republican legislators have described the fees as necessary in order to compensate for Donald Trump's costs. However, experts who work with immigrants say that the people who try to navigate us to put more pressure on us in order to navigate us to unload the little money, force them to exploit working agreements or to urge them to leave the country as a whole.

“These are essentially a mask for targeted attacks on some of the most endangered immigrants that we have currently underway through our legal system: asylum seekers, children, survivors of crimes,” said Victoria Maqueda Feldman, director of law at Ayuda, the immigrants with low income in Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland.

Trump has made it a priority of his government not only to free the country of immigrants without papers, but also to stop many new immigrants from entering the country. The GOP-controlled congress negotiates a large spending and tax rate package that he described as a “large, beautiful bill”, which to put provisions for its hard immigration proposals into reality.

The Republicans are limited to what they can achieve in the congress due to the Senate's filibuster with which the democratic minority can block the legislation that they do not support. The GOP tries to pass Trump's legislative agenda through the budget reconciliation procedure, under which bills in both chambers can pass simple majorities, but only have to influence expenses and income – as well as fees.

“This system has paid these agencies with funding errors from American taxpayers,” said Jim Jordan, the Republican Chairman of the House Justice Committee. “The fees contained in this legal template will enable us to make the necessary investments in the enforcement of immigration in a tax -responsible manner.”

Heidi Altman, Vice President of Politics in the National Immigration Law Center, said that the new fees are aimed at the type of immigrants that the Trump government, for example, priority priority, for example asylum seekers who arrived in large numbers during Joe Biden.

“It is part of the government's attack on humanitarian protection for immigrant communities,” said Altman. “This is a completely new way of thinking about fees as a punishment essentially for immigrant status.”

According to the legislation, immigrants would have to pay 1,000 US dollars to apply for asylum, 100 US dollars to keep an application active every year, since it is achieved for a work permit by the overloaded immigration system and 550 US dollars. People who ask for a humanitarian probation to enter the United States would have to pay 1,000 US dollars, and abused or neglected children who qualify for a program called Special Immigrant Juvenile Status would have to pay $ 500. Immigration cases can take a long time before it is solved in court. However, if a defendant asks a judge for a sequel, he would have to pay $ 100 every time.

These fees do not exist under applicable law, and the draft law indicates that they cannot be dispensed with under almost all circumstances.

The new fees are aimed at people, often relatives who want to sponsor children who cross the border without parents or legal guardians and act in the maintenance of the government. In order to take custody for an unaccompanied minor, adults would have to pay 3,500 US dollars to partially repay the government for the care of the minors, together with a further 5,000 US dollars to ensure that the child takes part in their court hearings, even though this money can be refunded if they do so.

“In some cases, this would be to bring 3,500 US dollars between a mother or father who can bring her child out of the government and back to her own home,” said Altman.

The fees were proposed when the Trump administration is looking for new ways to push out immigrants, also by offering them money to leave them. The legislation provides a preview of what will come more if the president received the $ 10 billion that he has requested from the congress.

In legislation, more than $ 50 billion is assigned for the construction of a wall along the border with Mexico and fortifications elsewhere. The immigration and customs authority (ICE) receives $ 45 billion for adhesives, $ 14 billion for its deportation transactions and billions of dollars more to discontinue 10,000 new agents by 2029.

For customers with low incomes that Ayuda serves, Feldman predicted that the fees “could mean a complete barrier for forms of relief”.

Some could be able to bring the money together, but “through the means of greater danger. Therefore, you have to work under the table and endanger you for work trade. You may have to take out loans that have very high interest rates and endanger you to pay something that is very expensive.”

The draft law has a top priority of the Republicans of the Congress, but his path to fulfillment is unclear. On Friday, the right republican legislature blocked his progress through a key committee and argued that he had not reduced state expenditure deeply enough.

Last month, when the Justice Committee met to approve the part of the bill that contained the increases in fees, the GOP quickly approved it with little signs of dissent.
