U.S. government provides migrants with a financial incentive of $1,000 to voluntarily leave the country on their own accord under the Trump administration.
Rebooting the Exodus:
Want a grand sending-off? The Trump administration is offering a sweet deal for those looking to cut ties with the U.S. - a whopping $1,000 and travel help - if you're game for some self-deportation! Yes, you heard that right!
This intriguing offer from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) surfaced on Monday. So, if you're here without papers and fancy a safer, cost-effective way back home, this could be your ticket!
But wait, there's more! The average cost of capturing, confining, and booting out someone without citizenship rights currently clocks in around the eye-watering sum of $17,000. Compared to that, the stipend and potential airfare for voluntary parting ways with the U.S. seems like a bargain, right?
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem encourages those illegal residents to avail this opportunity, stating, "If you're an undocumented immigrant, self-deportation is your best, safest, and most budget-friendly way to make a graceful exit from the United States to evade arrest."
Back in March, the administration revamped an app named CBP Home, initially called CBP One, to streamline self-deportation processes. During Biden's tenure, the app served to permit legal entries into the U.S. for migrants. Trump briefly mentioned the incentive plan in April, hinting at a potential return program for migrants.
