    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, Robert Law, on whether
    Donald Trump will endorse Ken Cuccinelli: <URL:https://cis.org/Law/Closer-Look-Bidens-Nominee-USCIS-Director>
    | The Obama administration only published one fee rule (fiscal years
    | 2016-2017) over its eight years, meaning that the levels set under
    | the Bush administration were charged for the majority of Obama's
    | tenure. As the cost of adjudication rose combined with the Obama
    | administration's expansive use of fee waivers and exemptions, the
    | agency was losing money by the time the Trump administration began
    | its own fee rule. As Sen. Lee noted in a QFR, the annual forgone
    | revenue due to fee waivers and exemptions ballooned from $613
    | million in FY 2016/2017 to $1.5 billion in FY2019/2020. USCIS, under
    | the Trump administration, attempted to end most fee waivers and
    | exemptions and to increase fees to levels that properly covered the
    | cost of adjudication, but that final rule was blocked by a federal
    | district judge.

    Does Trump regret slow-walking the hike of fees to perform extreme
    vetting of the Cheap Labor Lobby's scab worker import pipelines?
