Working on a story about Homeland Security raising application fees for immigrants, green card holders, asylum seekers, DACA recipients and others to become citizens. In some cases fees between $400-$600 for applications will now cost more than $1,100 #Immigration #DCNexstar 
DHS said in a statement essentially that they need the money. Most of its operating budget comes from fees, acting USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli says they need to raise fees on immigrant applications to cover the costs of processing those apps. #DCNexstar #Immigration
Congressional Democrats @MarkTakano and @RepGaramendi both say the policy is anti-immigrant, and fits what they see as a disturbing pattern in the #TrumpAdministration's #Immigration policy. @FOX40 @KTLA #NexstarDC
@MarkTakano @RepGaramendi @FOX40 @KTLA Congressman @RepMarkTakano invoked #StevenMiller and did not mince words with his response, calling the DHS proposal to raise fees on immigrants' applications for legal status racist, white nationalist and anti-immigrant. @KTLA #NexstarDC
