I find it hard to believe that any government organization can function simply on application fees. You know they’re siphoning off our tax dollars in some way.

Let’s say that what the article says is not true, that it is not purely funded by application fees...
How is Congress to defund the INS without affecting the other LEGAL functions that they do (i.e. processing LEGAL applicants?)
Even if the funds are raised by application fees there still needs to a Congressional appropriation to spend those funds. If this has not been happening it needs to be restored.
BCIS has several areas that use appropriated money. The big one is the one that runs e-Verify. Which is what allows employers to check whether a hire is a legitimate, legal immigrant.
Not sure how shutting that part down really benefits us ...
