Trump administration may force asylum seekers to pay $50 to enter the country with no waiver for those who can't afford it
The Trump administration is considering new regulations for migrant caravans, with one proposal to charge a $50 application fee to anyone seeking asylum in the US
In an effort to curb the growing influx of illegal immigrants at the border, the Trump administration is considering a $50 application fee for any migrant who seeks asylum in the United States, as per multiple reports.
Nonetheless, liberal proponents of immigration are outraged at the proposal, which would apply to any migrant seeking asylum in the US. According to Buzzfeed News, anyone seeking asylum claiming a fear of persecution at ports of entry is exempt from the payment. However, migrants who cannot afford to pay the $50 fee would not be able to apply for asylum if the proposal is implemented as policy.
