DHS Announces New Policy That Could Supercharge Deportations

Deportations could skyrocket under a proposed new policy by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that would give illegal immigrants additional resources to help them “self-deport.”

The policy change, set to be announced Monday by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, would see the federal agency pay for the commercial flights for migrants who choose to voluntarily return to their home countries rather than cost U.S. taxpayers the added fees and administrative expenses associated with apprehending, trying, and deporting them.

Incredibly, the agency is also set to announce that migrants who comply could be paid an additional $1,000 cash bonus upon proof that they have left the country.

On its face, the suggestion that illegal immigrants who broke the law should be paid to return home may outrage conservatives, but DHS claims that the actual savings of such a policy are significant. The sum total of detaining and supporting an illegal immigrant through deportation is an average cost of $17,500 per individual, Fox News reported, compared to $4,500 to assist and pay the same individual to self-deport.

Those wishing to apply may download the CBP Home app on their phone and submit an application to get started.

..."Incredibly, the agency is also set to announce that migrants who comply could be paid an additional $1,000 cash bonus upon proof that they have left the country."

All in all, probably a bargain considering what it costs citizen/taxpayers to let them stay.
