So it seems like you get the $250 back if you honor the terms and leave by the end. It's an interesting monetary incentive, not unlike the bottle deposits.

- avs733 1y agoits like any other monetary fine projected on to all people - it hurts poor people more. As it stands it isn't an incentive, its just a disruptive and opportunistic approach to take money from a politically disfavored group. THe CBO, as quoted, is clear that until they figure out the reimbursement process they are still just going to colelct the fee and keep the money: >, “CBO expects that the Department of State would need several years to implement a process for providing reimbursements. On that basis, CBO estimates that enacting the provision would increase revenues and decrease the deficit by $28.9 billion over the 2025‑2034 period.”
