Donald Trump’s government announced on Monday, May 5 that he was going to pay immigrants in an irregular situation for “self -expression”, that is, they return to their country of origin.
He plans to cover his transport costs and assign a sum of $ 1,000, paid after his return to his country, according to a statement from the Ministry of Internal Security (DHS).
“When you are (in the United States) illegally, self -examination is the best way, the safest and most economical to leave the United States to avoid being arrested,” said the owner of the DHS, Kristi Noem in this press release.
The starting process must be carried out through the application of the CBP Home mobile phone, said the DHS, which also guarantees that “self -examination is a worthy way to leave the United States.” The Biden administration used this application, previously called CBP One, to allow migrants to enter the country, underline Reuters.
A way for the Trump administration to save
In its press release, the Ministry believes that this procedure “will allow the costs of an expulsion of around 70%.” According to him, the average arrest cost, the detention and expulsion of an irregular immigrant is currently $ 17,121. A person in Honduras has already used the program to return to his country.
Donald Trump, who had promised during his campaign to carry out “the greatest operation of eviction in the history of the country,” one of his priorities has fought for illegal immigration since his return to power in January.
He spoke of an alleged “invasion” of the country for “crime from abroad” and proceeded to very publicized expulsions, in particular those of more than 250 people in most Venezuelans to Salvador under a law of the 18th century and an unprecedented agreement signed with this country in Central America. These expulsions are subject to a confrontation between his government and the Judiciary.
