Trump’s new plan for illegal migrants: Take $ 1000 and self -deprive yourself from America
Trump’s administration will offer $ 1000 and help with traveling to all migrants who opt for voluntary « self -determination » from the United States, the Ministry of Homeland Security said on Monday.
The amount of money offered and a potential plane ticket for migrants who voluntarily decide to leave would cost less than a real deportation, the Ministry says.
The average cost of the arrest, delay and deportation of a person without a legal status is about $ 17,000.
President Donald Trump, a Republican, has promised to assume a duty in January that he will deport millions of people from the country, but for now he is lagging behind in this regard with the democratic predecessor Joe Biden.
According to the Ministry, Trump’s administration deported 152,000 people from January 20, less than 195,000 deported from February to April last year when the President was Biden.
Trump presented a plan in April, saying that he would now consider the possibility of a voluntary deported migrants to allow a return.
« If they are good, if we want them back, we will collaborate with them to bring them back as soon as possible, » he said then.
The ministry added that all those who voluntarily decide to leave the US « can contribute » to the possibility of legal return, but no specific way or program is cited.
