An attorney who has worked with asylum-seekers for a decade sees the Trump admin.'s plan to charge fees to apply for asylum as part of its “full-throttled attack” on immigrants. “I have clients who come to my office who haven’t eaten,' she said.

Sarah Sherman-Stokes, an attorney who has worked with asylum-seekers for a decade, sees the Trump administration’s plan to charge fees to apply for asylum as part of its “full-throttled attack” on immigrants., including charging a fee for processing applications and work permits.

What the administration plans to charge was not immediately known. The fee is supposed to cover the cost of processing the applications. Bar people who entered or tried to enter the United States illegally from getting work permits before being granted asylum or some other protection from deportation.Sherman-Stokes criticized the proposal, saying it fits with other rhetoric and policy making to limit U.S. immigration to a “whiter, richer pool of immigrants."

“Some people are working in precarious situations, getting paid under the table to pay that money. These are people desperately living paycheck to paycheck,” she said. The situation makes them more exploitable. We're already treating asylum seekers horribly by criminalizing them and locking entire families up. Now the president wants to be even harsher to asylum seekers who are fleeing persecution.Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan appeared before the subcommittee Tuesday to explain the department’s annual budget request.
