Welcome to America... the line forms over there
More than 4,000 immigrants became U.S. citizens yesterday, and right now many more are applying for citizenship — before the application fee goes up at the end of this month. Currently, it costs $400 to cover the costs of the paperwork. On July 30, that goes up to $675. Of course, in addition to the fees, citizenship requires a recent background check. And the wait for that is up to two years right now.

May be the fee increase is the reason for the recent illegal acts by the Immigration agency.
Please read the following article (link below). Thousands of high skilled immigrants (doctors, engineers, medical personnel, etc) have been affected by this and many have incurred extensive costs and time to apply for greencards only to be shunned away without notice.
