Adding Insult to Injury: Obama Paying for Illegal Amnesty with Fees Paid by Legal Immigrants
Adding Insult to Injury: Obama Paying for Illegal Amnesty with Fees Paid by Legal Immigrants
Another slap in the face to legal immigrants and Americans who follow the law…
Barack Obama is paying for his illegal executive amnesty with fees from legal immigrants.
Katie Pavlich at Townhall reported:
The funding for Obama’s executive action is coming through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, a fee, not tax based agency under the jurisdiction of Homeland Security…
…Who is paying these fees? Millions of legal immigrants are paying these fees, which are now being reallocated by the executive branch to legalize millions of illegal immigrants who have been living in the United States for years while failing to go through proper and long established legal channels to obtain citizenship or other legal status. From the USCIS.gov website:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is funded largely by application and petition fees. Recognizing that some applicants cannot pay the filing fees, USCIS established a fee waiver process for certain forms and benefit types. Demonstrated inability to pay is the only reason USCIS will approve a fee waiver.
Waiving a fee for one applicant transfers the cost of processing their application to other applicants through higher fees. Therefore, USCIS carefully considers the merits of each fee waiver request before making a decision.
On average legal immigrants wait ten years to fully obtain citizenship (and only after they’ve had a green card for five years) and they must pay thousands of dollars to USCIS in the process. Again, that money is now being used to give millions of illegal immigrants a free, expedited pass to legal status. Adding insult to injury, millions of green cards for illegals means longer wait times for legal immigrants.

Again Obama steals from the law abiding and gives to the law breakers.

They have no skills, education, money, and come here illegally. What the heck are they turning this nation into?

Illegals may have no skills and don't speak the lingo, but thy sure figure out rapidly how federal benefits work. They are probably coached by La Raza and LULAC workers and liberal clergy.
