The Trump administration offers a cash stipend and travels home for immigrants without papers who voluntarily leave the United States, officials said their last attempt to increase deportations on Monday.
The policy, which offers $ 1,000 and a flight home to every immigrant who leaves, is part of the urge of the Trump government to convince immigrants to deport themselves as a way to help the president to satisfy the elevation of immigration. Already, Said civil servantsOne migrant from Honduras has brought the government to the offer and brought Chicago back to his home country.
In recent weeks, administration has increasingly advised certain immigrants in the United States to leave before they are the target of the authorities. It is also aimed at policy to make life uncomfortable for those in the country without legal status, such as cutting certain migrants From access to financial services.
The money that is offered to migrants who leave alone is paid after they have confirmed their journey home through a government app that the Trump administration unveiled earlier this year, called CBP Home, said officials. Trump officials say that the program will save government money by avoiding the costs needed to arrest people, holding them and flying on the land on planes.
“If you are illegal here, self -declaration is the best, safest and most cost -effective way to leave the United States to prevent arrest,” said Kristi Neem, the secretary of domestic security, in a statement.
The Trump administration announced last week that it had deported around 140,000 migrants from the US since January. The figures do not currently put the administration on the right track to fulfill a plant President Trump campaign interest: Remove millions From people who are illegal in the country.
Deportations can be expensive and time intensive, because American officials often have to retain migrants for a long period, coordinate travel documents and prepare chartered planes to many different countries. There are often problems with migrants from countries that do not accept their subjects or make the process so cumbersome that it takes even longer to remove people.
Mr. Trump hinted on a travel policy in a recent interview with Fox Noticias.
“But what we want to do is that we have a self -deposit program that we have not even announced yet,” he told the network in mid -April. “The only thing I have not determined is, what are we going to do? We are going to give them a stipend, we are going to give them some money and a flight ticket, and then we will work with them, if they are good, if we want to get them back in, we will work with them to get them back as soon as possible.”
