Austin (USA),. \u2013<\/strong> The new tax law approved this Tuesday by the United States Senate<\/strong> will inject billions of dollars into President Donald Trump’s<\/strong> anti-immigration project.<\/p>\n\n\nWith this budget, which the Republican leader has called a “big and beautiful law”, the government’s largest spending on security agencies will be allocated, by a wide margin, to immigration: it will be eight times greater than the entire FBI budget and 13 times higher than that of the DEA.\n\n\n

Increase in the costs of immigration and humanitarian procedures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nThe law will also increase the costs of some immigration procedures and, for the first time, a fee of $1,000 will be charged to apply for asylum, a status designed to protect people fleeing political, religious, social, or racial persecution in their countries of origin.\n\nThe cost to apply for a work permit will be 550 dollars<\/strong> and it will only be valid for six months. In addition, 100 dollars will be charged annually to those who have a pending asylum application.\n\nAppealing a decision by an immigration judge will cost 900 dollars (previously 110) and the cost of applying for Temporary Protected Status (TPS)<\/strong> will also rise to 500 dollars.\n\n\n

Taxes on remittances and loss of tax benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nThe law creates a new tax that will directly affect the economy of migrants in the U.S., with a 3.5% tax on remittances sent abroad.\n\nThe United States is the main sender of remittances in the world, according to World Bank data, with more than $85.8 billion sent in 2023, according to the Migration Policy Institute.<\/strong>\n\nThe law also includes measures that directly affect migrants, further restricting their already limited access to tax benefits.\n\nFamilies in which one of the parents is undocumented or does not have a social security number will not be able to access the child tax credit program, which reduces the amount of taxes to be paid.\n\nIn turn, federal funds for the Medicaid program will be reduced for states that offer health services to migrants without legal status, and some migrants with legal status – including those with work visas or TPS – will be prohibited from accessing health insurance with reduced costs.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
