It’ll be more fun when the number is hundreds of thousands. And millions
Thousands leave country voluntarily amid Trump self-deport push, DHS says
Thousands of illegal immigrants facing potential involuntary removal from the U.S. have instead opted to self-deport through an app provided by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The number of immigrants who have opted to self-deport over the last month using the CBP Home app is over 5,000, according to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data shared with Fox News Digital.
The self-deportations come as the Trump administration has ramped up a messaging campaign aimed at encouraging illegal immigrants to leave the country voluntarily, most recently releasing a flyer addressed to “illegal aliens” that threatens new fines for those who choose to remain in the U.S. despite a deportation order.
“Self-deportation is safe,” the flyer reads. “Leave on your own terms by picking your departure flight.”
The flyer warns that the administration plans to start fining illegal migrants who have received a final order of removal $998 per day if they continue to stay in the country, while fines of $1,000-$5,000 could be given to those who failed to self-deport after claiming they would.
This is making Democrats like Excitable Jasmine Crockett very upset, because, who’s going to clean their homes and pick the cotton?
America First Legal Senior Counsel James Rogers argued that the self-deportation push is working because of the “credible threat of enforcement.”
“Our nation’s immigration laws impose severe penalties on aliens who are illegally in the country. The only reason there is a large population of illegal immigrants residing in the United States is because prior administrations have failed to enforce these laws passed by Congress,” Rogers said. “Everyone knows this, including the aliens who have been illegally living here. The current trend of illegal aliens self-deporting proves that even just the credible threat of enforcement can be enough to get many illegal immigrants to comply with our laws and leave the country.”
And that’s what it comes down to: a credible threat, versus under Obama and Biden when the illegals were invited in with open arms to live off the taxpayer largess. And, by self deporting using the app, the illegals have a future opportunity to come back under legal means.
According to DHS the US deported 1.1 million “illegals” in 2023. The 47 admin said they have deported 100,000 so far this year, but certainly brags about it a lot.
BTW, does Mr Teach only use the term “excitable” to describe black Representatives? Is ‘uppity’ just too loaded? Is Mr 47 “excitable” for all the stupid nonsense he spouts? That’s rhetorical, LOL.
Before this year, how many immigrants left voluntarily? Bueller? Bueller?
Thousands of US citizens are emigrating, too. Canada, European and Caribbean nations are stealing high-worth American citizens!!! They have special programs coaxing rich Americans to move, similar to the stupid Gold Card idea that 47 stole. In addition, adventurous middle class Americans are leaving for the lower prices, remote work, better healthcare, better environment, no 47 and a ‘gentler’ lifestyle.
Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.
Perhaps seeing some of the illegals shipped off to El Salvador, and Salvadorean jails, has provided an impetus for those not yet apprehended. Better to return to their [insert slang term for feces here]hole countries than El Salvador!
Nobody picks cotton by hand anymore. It’s all done by a farmer riding a big honkin’ agro machine.
[…] Oh the poor Democrats will cry and rage over this […]
