US Government Offers Cash Incentives for Self-Deportation of Undocumented Immigrants

In a controversial move, the Trump administration has announced a plan to offer $1,000 stipends along with travel assistance to undocumented immigrants who choose to self-deport from the United States. This initiative, aimed at encouraging migrants to leave voluntarily, has garnered mixed reactions, with some seeing it as a humane option while others criticize it as a tactic to push immigrants out. Various statements from the Department of Homeland Security emphasize that this program could also save taxpayers money. The administration continues to defend this policy amid ongoing debates about immigration reform and the treatment of undocumented residents in the country.
