I cannot believe how they came up with 26B. We already are contributing taxes, so that will offset most of the spending / expense already. So raise the application fee. $2k is totally fine and small dent in exchange for a legal status. Do it. Fuck it.
Get Apple/Facebook/Google each contribute $1B.... some rich ass Bill Gates can afford some donation to the government too. If i were Bill, I would do that. Y'all government desperate for $$? I'd donate my money.

The CBO score is how much CHANGE to the budget from a law. The taxes people are paying with DACA does not count, as it is the starting point. If there was a law rescinding DACA then the CBO score would reflect the lost revenue from people losing their EAD's. Cancelling DACA does not get an CBO score because it is not a bill.
Most of the cost over 10 years comes from benefits, Obamacare & Child tax care credits being the largest.
