Madam Speaker, if I understand correctly, my hon. colleague agrees in the case of a genuine refugee. I would like to ask him a question.
After an individual has been allowed to enter the country as a refugee and has been given refugee status, there is a fee of $500 per adult and $100 per child for permanent residency. A lot of genuine refugees are impoverished when they come here. They have no money and sometimes have to turn to churches or to agencies that help immigrants and refugees find the $500.
We looked into the matter and found that genuine refugees do not have to pay anything for permanent residency in the United States. What does my colleague think about this problem?
