Naturalization costs nearly double!!-HOW IS THIS FAIR FOR THE LAWFUL GREEN CARD HOLDERS?

On January 31(2007), US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) proposed increased fees for immigration benefits. Under the proposed increase, the cost for naturalization would rise 80 percent from $330 to $595 for adult applicants and from $255 to $460 for children, the fee for lawful permanent residence would rise 178 percent from $325 to $905, and the fee for fingerprinting would rise 14 percent from $70 to $80. The public has until April 2, 2007, to file written comments. The changes will take effect in June 2007, at the earliest. Lawful permanent residents in the United States are eligible to naturalize after five years of residence in the country, or three years for those married to a US citizen. Naturalization requires passage of an English and civics exam, as well as clearance of background checks and payment of the application fee.

WE SHOULD DUMP THE 'GREEN CARD' CRAP AND GO STRAIGHT TO A NATIONAL ID CARD. LIKE MOST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD WE BASE IT ON OUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO BE ISSUED AT BIRTH. BORN CITIZENS GET THEM AUTOMATICALLY. NON-CITIZENS GET NO GOODIES UNTIL THEY (QUALIFY FOR AND) GET THEIR ID CARD. THIS THEN PUTS THEM ON THE TRACK TO CITIZENSHIP.
The program of granting visas etc is supposed to be self supporting by fees. Due to backlog and need to hire more people and due to more in depth security checks, they have higher costs and are raising the fees. It only goes to cover the cost of the program, though. It is not a US 'profit center'.

On the other hand, it likely is bloated, like all government programs.
WELL IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY

IM TIED OF PAYING YOU WAY AND FEEDING AND CLOTHING YOU
