President Donald Trump has a new proposal for America’s illegal alien problem and it’s certainly a unique one.
The Department of Homeland Security announced early this week that they plan to pay $1,000 to illegal immigrants just to get them to leave the country.
According to Fox News, the Trump administration would pay illegal immigrants this $1,000 stipend to self-deport adding that it will protect law enforcement AND save American tax dollars.
The Trump administration would also pay for the cost of airfare. In total, the average stipend cost would be around $4,500 per illegal immigrant which sounds like a lot of money, until you compare it against the $17,000 price tag that it currently costs the United States to deport each illegal according to DHS.
“If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest,” Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X. “DHS is now offering illegal aliens financial travel assistance and a stipend to return to their home country through the CBP Home App.”
“This is the safest option for our law enforcement, aliens and is a 70% savings for US taxpayers,” Noem added. “Download the CBP Home App TODAY and self-deport.”
Some critics have been upset that the Trump administration is effectively rewarding these people with American tax dollars for having broken America’s immigration laws but you have to consider everything the last administration was doing to get these people here.
The CBP Home App which Noem mentioned was initially launched as the CBP One App under Trump for the purpose of helping with semi-truck inspections at the border.
With Joe Biden as president, the Democrats completely hijacked this app and turned it into one which helped them facilitate full-blown invasion of the country, allowing illegals to enter America after clicking a few buttons and “claiming asylum.”
Then once these migrants were stateside they were given tax-payer funded incentives to the tune of thousands of dollars EVERY MONTH!
$1,000 one time is much better than paying them thousands every month forever.
DHS acknowledged the criticisms of this program but maintained the initiative’s cost-cutting function and the overall goal of mass deportations are justifiable reasons to pay illegal immigrants to leave the United States.
By the end of March, the Trump administration had deported more than 100,000 illegal immigrants since the start of his second term.
While they’ve stated that their early focus is to target the most dangerous of illegals like violent gang members, this is still a far cry from his mass deportation promises thanks to things like corrupt Democrat judges constantly hamstringing the effort.
But with this stipend payment in place, Trump could completely circumvent those rogue judges and successfully remove MILLIONS of criminals who are living in this country.
