However. I am additionally concerned by the regulations which have been proposed by the INS to implement the bill. Specifically. I am deeply concerned by the application fees contained in these proposed rules. They are excessive. and should be reduced. Under the rules proposed by the Reagan administration. a basic application fee of $185 would be charged for most aliens seeking legal status under the Immigration Act. The fee would be $50 for children under 18. Legal status would be offered in a "package deal" of $420 for a family. But for a family of four. it might cost as much as $700 to obtain legal status. when the cost of medical examinations and other charges are included.
