WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration says it is going to pay immigrants in the United States illegally who’ve returned to their home country voluntarily $1,000 as it pushes forward with its mass deportation agenda.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a news release Monday that it’s also paying for travel assistance and that those people who use an app called CBP Home to tell the government that they plan to return home will be “deprioritized” for detention and removal by immigration enforcement.

“If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest. DHS is now offering illegal aliens financial travel assistance and a stipend to return to their home country through the CBP Home App,” Secretary Kristi Noem said.

The Trump administration isn't going pay for anything. I am, and so are you.

Why haven't people been dealing with invasions this way throughout history?

If this is, as all the fanbois say, just another invasion, why did China build that wall? Why didn't they just stand there and bribe the Mongol hordes? Surely that would have been cheaper.

You pay more by keeping them here or by forcing ICE to go hunt them down and process them.
To say nothing of the millions of individual court cases you want each of them to get.

In case you failed to notice, Trump is building the wall.

Invasions were commonly dealt with this way, the drawback was that the enemy had a habit of returning to be paid off again, that's why securing the border was the first priority even over deportations.

The grand is the stipend.
