In a stunning new proposal, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a new plan that would cover the initial cost of commercial flights and provide a $1,000 stipend to illegal aliens who choose to self-deport from the United States.
The department defended the massive undertaking in an interview with Fox News, saying this will be 70% cheaper for American taxpayers, as it currently costs DHS, on average, over $17,000 to arrest, detain, and deport someone. DHS told Fox News that paying for aliens to remove themselves, even with the stipend, is anticipated to cost only around $4,500 on average.
The stipend would not be paid until it was verified that an individual self-deported. Aliens will use the CBP Home self-deportation app to access this assistance, and DHS expects self-removals, already in the thousands, to ramp up significantly with this announcement.
According to a news release, those who use the CBP Home app to leave the U.S. will be “deprioritized for detention and removal” if they are actually taking steps to exit the country.
“If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News in a statement.
“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. Download the CBP Home App TODAY and self-deport,” she continued.
Noem also noted that self-deportation provides individuals a chance to come back into the country legally one day.

So now they ae being BRIBED to RETURN to their countries? why are they NOT just escorted to where they originally crossed and sent across the same way?
WHHY are we being required to put pup with the conditions these illegals are causing in this country and tying the administration’ s hands when it attempts to return them to where they came?
So we have now resorted to BRIBERY?
