House Republicans are advancing a sweeping immigration plan that includes a controversial proposal to charge asylum seekers a fee of $1,000 to apply, marking a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy. This plan, part of a larger GOP budget proposal, aims to fund mass deportations and boost immigration enforcement with a staggering $45 billion allocation for ICE. The new immigration fees are not limited to asylum seekers; they include charges for work permit renewals and other immigration applications, raising concerns about the impact on vulnerable populations. As the House Judiciary Committee prepares to discuss these changes, critics warn that these measures could effectively eliminate asylum for many and increase legal fees for migrants.
