There's an attempt under "Cost Basis" to justify the cost.

The proposed ~$8.78B/year in H-1B fee revenue would be allocated roughly as follows:

USCIS: $3.00B (34.2%)

EOIR / immigration courts: $2.96B (33.7%)

DOL: $1.21B (13.8%)

ICE: $1.05B (11.9%)

State Department: $484M (5.5%)

CBP: $76.2M (0.9%)

Total: ~$8.78B/year

> Notably, only $79.2M of the $8.78B is specifically allocated to DOL's H-1B program.
