Summary: Marcia Stevenson supports the proposed fee increase for Form I-246. She argues that the current fee has not been adjusted for inflation since 1989 and does not reflect the increased administrative and enforcement costs associated with modern immigration.
I support DHS’s proposed amendment increasing the Form I-246 fee from $155 to $755.
The current fee has not been adjusted since 1989, despite inflation of more than 150% and a far greater enforcement burden today. Illegal immigration now imposes substantially broader economic and administrative costs than it did in 1989, including increased regulatory, screening, fraud-detection, litigation, and enforcement demands on the Agency.
Respectfully,
Marcia Stevenson
