Financial Aid Offered: United States Provides Thousand Dollar Grants to Migrants Willing to Voluntarily Depart
Here's the revised, original version:
Hearing ya'll want some tea on that Trump deportation biz? Alrighty then, let's spill the beans. The Trump administration has cooked up a plan to dish out a cool grand, yep, $1,000, to undocumented immigrants in the United States who decide to pack their bags and jet back to their homelandvoluntarily. All part of their aggressive, mass deportation game plan, ya dig?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) dropped this news on Monday, stating that they’ll even cover travel expenses for those who play ball. And if you snitch on your plans to skedaddling by using their fancy CBP Home app, you'll probably skip the slammer when it comes to immigration enforcement.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, "If you're illegally here, ditchin' the States is the smartest, safest, and most economical way to scarper without getting caught. DHS is now giving illegal immigrants travel cash and a sweet deal to get the hell out through the CBP Home App."
They claim the bucks and airfare for voluntary departures will cost a fraction of what it takes to nab, detain, and deport someone who's living here without papers, which clocks in at around $17,000, according to the DHS.
Trump took office promising to boot out millions, but he's been slacking compared to his predecessor Joe Biden's record-breaking deportations. Under Biden's watch, the administration had to deal with sky-high levels of undocumented immigration and sent many caught crossin' the border packin' their bags.
Since Trump's crew took office in January, they've sent 152,000 people back home—less than last year under Biden's watch between February and April. Trump's administration has attempted to strong-arm migrants and asylum seekers to ditch the States by threatening hefty fines, strippin' away legal status, and packing people in prisons in Cubadamn Gitmo and El Salvador.
Trump previewed the sweet deal back in April, hintin' that the States might let some migrants and asylum seekers hightail it back, if they were cool beans. In the Monday announcement, the DHS said those who choose to dip might keep their chance to return legally, but didn't spell out any specific pathway or program.
- This voluntary departure plan by the Trump administration, coupled with the potential return of legal status, is an indirectushal development in the politics of immigration.
- Amidst the ongoing debates and conflicts in general-news, the offering of $1,000 and travel expenses for voluntary departures by undocumented immigrants is a new twist in the war of immigration policies.
