WASHINGTON – The Obama administration's plan to grant temporary work permits to many young, undocumented immigrants might cost the government over $585 million and require hundreds of new federal employees to process more than 1 million anticipated requests, according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press.
On top of everything else, we are now expected to pay for this. But, that's right, we are rolling in dough, so we can well afford it. Even considering their "estimated" revenues, it will still cost taxpayers more than $100 million. Of course, according to Napolitano some fees will be waived "in very deserving cases" which, of course, will increase the costs to taxpayers.
Unbelieveable -- but did anyone really expect that Obama would not sell out the American people? American jobs at bargain basement prices. It's getting more and more absurd, the illegals can't even pay for the costs of their own amnesty.
I would truly like to know why U.S. taxpayers must AGAIN foot the bill for illegal aliens. If illegals want this so badly, why can't they be made to cover all costs? Rather than charging less than $500, the fees should be increased to avoid being a burden to taxpayers. Or, let Mexico and other countries subsidize their citizens, especially since they clearly don't want them to return. Who wants to bet half of the Dreamies will have hardships qualifying them as being "very deserving?"

Why are you even worried about this? I thought you said Obama was just pandering and nothing is really going to happen with his new announcement.
The processing backlogs seem to be under control now, not anywhere near the lengthy waits of several years ago. FWIW, the I-765 (petition for a non-immigrant to receive work authorization) is one of the few USCIS forms that must be completed within 90 days. Of course that can lead to them coming close to the time limit, and rejecting or denying just to get it out of the way.
Yup. A few more inches and I'll be able to tie by sneakers with my teeth.
But I thought you were living outside the United States for now...
