President Donald Trump is allegedly wringing eye-watering sums of money from the very same people he has decided not to let into the country.

The non-profit accuses Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem of charging a conservative estimate of $1.3 billion to migrants in fees for visa processing and other services they have precisely zero intention of providing.

Under Rubio’s leadership, officials at the State Department have apparently even gone so far as to issue internal guidance actively prohibiting staff from informing those migrants they stand no hope of success, because “this could be seen as pre-adjudication” on their applications.

      “We only accept fees in US dollars. Illegal aliens have no business using American money anyway. We’re just reclaiming our own money for our country!”
