ACORN Opposes Near Tripling of Green Card Application Fees

By Doug Cunningham

ACORN – the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – says planned increases in immigration application fees should not be approved. ACORN says the fees are already prohibitive for low-income working immigrants. Raising the fees even higher, ACORN says, will prevent many working immigrants from playing by the rules to become U.S. citizens. The current proposal would hike application fees for a permanent residency or “green card” from $325 to $905.

1. Well, if you are here legally we cannot abuse and exploit you!

If you can afford to pay, you must be desperate, so maybe we can?
