$1,000 and a free plane ticket to migrants who deport themselves


WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security is offering $1,000 stipends and free airfare to immigrants who deport themselves.

The proposal released on May 5 enhances the department’s previous encouragement to immigrants without legal authorization to be in the U.S. to announce their intention to leave on the Customs and Border Protection’s CBP Home App.

The department estimates that paying the fee for voluntary deportations would be much less expensive than the current average of $17,121 to arrest, detain and remove immigrants.



Isn't Trump merciful!

It's a huuuge money saver too!
What a great deal.
 
As long as the $1K is handed to the deportee in the currency of the nation he is flying to as he boards the plane.
What are the rules on where they can fly? Do their home countries have to accept them? Will they be considered traitors?

I think illegals with no other criminal history who self deport should be allowed to apply for reentry to the US.
