DHS set to offer travel assistance for those who self-deport
In a move to push the those in the country illegally to self deport, the Department of Homeland Security on Monday announced a travel assistance program to help those who want to leave the country voluntarily.
Those who are in the country illegally and want to self-deport must use the CBP Home App, return to their home country and then they'll receive a $1,000 stipend, according to a release from DHS.
“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 is now offering illegal aliens financial travel assistance and a stipend to return to their home country through the CBP Home App,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “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.”
Self deporting has been something the Trump administration has been pushing, as opposed to having ICE arrest and deport migrants.
