The Trump administration has implemented a program to pay illegal migrants $1,000 each to encourage self-deportation from the United States. Utilizing the CBP Home app allows participants to avoid federal immigration arrests, and the Department of Homeland Security will cover flight costs. This initiative is projected to save taxpayers 70% compared to traditional deportation expenses, costing an average of $17,121 per detainee. DHS officials argue that this method is safer and more economically efficient for managing immigration issues.
Stephen Miller, President Trump's top policy and homeland security adviser, said on X Monday that the 'savings are as much as $1 million per illegal alien family given the long-term costs of free welfare and public support.'
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem remarked that 'self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-effective way' for illegal immigrants to avoid arrest by ICE.
