    Or not charge a fee, since the cost should be recouped in income taxes.

    All government fees for basic things like the ability to work, an ID, or a license to drive that apply to the general population are just taxes on poor people.

      This. Why the fuck is there a fee to begin with? These people are refugees, typically with very limited assets. It is utter idiocy, and worse it is intentional.
