The prohibitive fees continue:
2 "fees" are actually penalties:
- $5,000 "fee" for being ordered deported for missing a court hearing.
- $5,000 "fee" for being an inadmissible *alien* apprehended between ports of entry.
This new fee is grotesque:
- $500 for any Special Immigrant Juvenile [#SIJ] Status application — these are abused, abandoned or neglected kids, ya think they have $500?
