I detest all these “Fees.” We already pay for everything these a-holes do, including their supplies, so fees are a Government scam to tax all of us even further.

If they started paying for themselves and they reduced our taxes by that amount then I would be somewhat impressed.

Better yet, charge any muslims wanting to enter the country a $25,000 non-refundable fee. Of course, that’s pocket change for Saudi-funded terrorists.

Maybe they should try this on the Mexican border?

[Mad Dawgg]

I say yes! And we charge on the Southern Border also. And all money goes towards building a 30 Ft. High Wall on both borders (Not a fence, A wall! A wall big enough to drive trucks on!)

Guard Towers and Machine Guns and Attack Poodles and Land Mines and Claymores!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Just another indication that the Federal government has gotten too big and needs to steal other people’s money to help feed the pig. How ‘bout a “fee” for those crossing the southern border?

Does Homeland SEc have the right to attach fees to anything?

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

This is like the 10% tax on tanning salons under 0bamacare. Who gets tans other than white people? No one!

Since when does Homeland Security get to set taxes and fees?

[cherry]

sure, lets tax and penalize the legal visitors from Canada and the US, but lets just let the illegals come and go as they please...free school...free health care....hey, ain’t America got it alll!

Selfishness and greed.

We don’t need more fees or taxes or debt. Cut the fricken government already. Janet Napolitano is a complete moron and incompetent failure. She’s the poster child for the Peter Principle (right next to Obama & Biden).

I cross southbound in a commercial vehicle frequently, and have been paying $10.75 per trip for a couple of years now. (Which caused me to purchase an electronic transponder for $205 per year instead.)

“Processing fee” for my paperwork is the excuse they use....

[kevao]

It would be a highly regressive fee, falling hardest on minorities. In other words, racist!

[R_Kangel]

.... This administration is looking for new and very creative ways to mine as much money from the economy as possible. This is merely another such attempt. Each and every new tax and fee that is levied upon Americans and residents .... those that reside in the United States .... is a reduction in the size of the economy of the country by that same and equal amount ... only to have a tiny percentage returned back into the dwindling riches of a once powerful and proud nation. It is a way of separating earned income from the producers and then redistributing it to the non producers. Incrementally, each amount is deducted from the net gain .... barely without even a notice from the ones it is taken from. But added up as a whole .... it would be considered the equivalent of Grand Larceny.

This nations wealth is being plundered for a cause that seeks to destroy her. Yet hardly anyone bothers to raise the alarm.

I live right here in Higgins district with 3 international bridges. I drive to the end of my road and there is Canada across the Niagara River. This is pure insanity.

[Minutemen]

Shove your idea where the sun doesn’t shine. Nobody wants or needs “Homeland Security”.

[Alaska Wolf]

The U.S. government is proposing to charge a new fee for every vehicle or pedestrian crossing the U.S.-Canada border

Who in the "U.S. government"?

[5th MEB]

Why not a 10 dollar fee per person for crossing the Mexican border into the USA for every illegal that is caught or spotted. Obutthole wants money, there is billions to be made there. just issue an executive order to the Skank of DHS to send an invoice to the Mehikan Cleptocracy for every one caught in person or on camera.
