Donald Trump’s last impulse to his mass deportation campaign comes in the form of an economic reward. The government will pay a thousand dollars to undocumented migrants who self -support. This was announced on Monday by the Department of National Security (DHS) in a statement, in which it explains that the payment will be made when the return to your country of origin has been confirmed. It is not specified how the subscription will be made. Migrants who want to self -portion must be done through the CBP Home application, which the Government launched as a tool for those who are in the country irregularly abandon it on their own initiative.
With the new measure, the administration takes a turn to enhance voluntary expulsions. Until now, the strategy was to infuse fear among migrants, who would choose to self -transport to avoid being arrested for the dreaded agents of the customs immigration and control service (ICE). The brutality samples used in some arrests, isolation in ICE centers without access to lawyers or opportunity to talk to family members and forced deportation, even to a country other than their own origin, as has happened to Venezuelans who have ended up in a jail in El Salvador, have not been enough to reach the desired numbers.
In its early days, the Administration claims to have deported about 142,000 people. Several administration sources, including the Tsar of the Border, Tom Homan, have recognized that, despite the anti -immigrant offensive launched, the amount of expulsions do not achieve the planned goals. There are no official numbers recognized beyond the purpose of deporting all undocumented migrants in the country, which is estimated to exceed 13 million people, but the objective is believed to be expelled one million people per year.
“If you are illegally here, self -exporting is the best way, the safest and most economical to leave the United States and avoid being arrested. The National Security Department (DHS) now offers undocumented foreigners financial assistance for trips and a remuneration to return to their country of origin through the CBP Home application,” said the Secretary of National Security, Kristi Noem.
According to DHS calculations, the reward offered of a thousand dollars will mean federal coffers a saving of 70% of deportation costs. Currently, the average cost of arresting, stopping and expelling an illegal immigrant is 17,121 dollars. “This is the safest option for forces of order and foreigners, and represents a 70% savings for US taxpayers. Download the CBP Home application today and self -destroying,” Noem added.
In addition to the thousand dollars, the government offers travel assistance and the DHS offered the first example of its application. According to Publica, an undocumented foreigner who entered irregularly during the Biden Administration recently used the program to obtain a Chicago plane ticket to Honduras. The same sources say that additional tickets have already been reserved for this week and the following.
The US Executive created the CBP Home to replace the CBP One application, created by the administration of Joe Biden with the opposite objective of facilitating appointments to request asylum and thus reduce the number of migrants who entered the country illegally.
To promote the self -exporting program, the Government has stated that using it can facilitate legal entry to the United States in the future, but the defenders of migrants doubt that the hope of a welcome in a possible return is true.
Self -export is the solution to the lack of federal resources to carry out the anti -immigrant crusade, which Trump wants to solve with the approval of an increase of billions of dollars that would be included in the republican proposal that is discussed in Congress.
