«Breaking News» Trump administration could make migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. pay a $50 application fee

The Trump administration is considering an application fee of $50 for any migrant who seeks asylum in the United States, it has been reported.

Immigration advocates are outraged at the proposal, which would apply to any migrant living in the U.S.

Anyone seeking asylum by claiming a fear of persecution at ports of entry would be exempt from the payment, according to BuzzFeed News.

If the proposal is implemented as policy, migrants who cannot afford to pay the $50 fee would not be able to apply for asylum.

The federal agency charged with handling asylum applications - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services - is currently dealing with a backlog of 300,000 pending cases.

Last year, more than 100,000 people applied for asylum with USCIS, BuzzFeed News reported.

President Donald Trump's (seen above at the White House on Saturday) administration is considering a proposal that would require any migrant living in the United States and seeking asylum to pay a $50 application fee

USCIS is funded primarily from application fees paid by immigrants who file paperwork seeking green cards, work permits, or legal documents for family members from abroad.

Those who seek legal status in America by claiming they were victims of human trafficking or other humanitarian cases are not charged an application fee.

Juan Camilo Mendez Guzman, an immigration lawyer based in San Francisco, said the proposed application fee for asylum seekers is ‘crazy.’

‘The reason we don’t charge for asylum applications is intuitive,’ said Guzman.

‘Even if it keeps one person from being able to apply, is that what we are about?

‘We are going to put a dollar amount on not getting sent back to a place of persecution?

‘It’s crazy.’

An application fee, if approved, would be just the latest measure that the Trump administration has adopted in order to make it more difficult for migrants to apply for asylum.

Last month, Trump issued a proclamation that barred anyone who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border between official ports of entry from seeking asylum.

Trump issued the proclamation in response to caravans of migrants approaching the border.

A lower court judge temporarily blocked the ban and later refused to immediately reinstate it.

The administration appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals for an immediate stay of Judge Jon Tigar’s Nov. 19 temporary restraining order.

Anyone seeking asylum by claiming a fear of persecution at ports of entry would be exempt from the payment, according to the proposal. The image above shows Central American migrants scaling a border fence at Tijuana, Mexico and illegally crossing into the U.S. last week

The 9th Circuit ruled in a 2-1 decision last week that the ban is inconsistent with an existing U.S. law and an attempted end-run around Congress.

In his Nov, 19 ruling, Tigar sided with legal groups who argued that federal law is clear that immigrants in the U.S. can request asylum regardless of whether they entered legally.

The president ‘may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden,’ the judge said in his order.

The ruling led to an unusual public dispute between Trump and Chief Justice John Roberts after Trump dismissed Tigar - an appointee of Trump’s predecessor - as an ‘Obama judge.’

Roberts responded with a statement that the federal judiciary doesn’t have ‘Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
