Usual question: Who gets the money?

#2: The USG gets the money, like when Americans request an expedited passport from the State Dept for $60. USCIS already charges fees for paperwork: my.uscis.gov

"like when Americans request an expedited passport from the State Dept for $60."

It's $130 for a passport. Expedited is another $60 on top.

Passports used to be feee. That's right, there used to be a free Federal ID in this country that was valid for any Election.

If Republican's weren't using Voter ID to suppress the vote, Republicans would support a free Federal ID that is valid for any Election.

No, I mean who really gets the money?

This strikes me as another Trump grift.

I meant $60 as an additional fee to the standard $130. Here's an old federal ID card that used to work: cdn8.openculture.com
