DHS to Offer Unaccompanied Minors Cash Payments to ‘Self-Deport’

President Donald Trump and his administration continue to come up with creative ways to encourage illegal aliens to “self-deport.”

The president’s latest plan will undoubtedly have some takers.

According to the Daily Caller, the Trump administration announced this week that it will offer $2,500 to unaccompanied minors who choose to return to their home countries.

The program will be offered through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The plan would save taxpayers huge amounts of money, as the cost of deporting illegal aliens costs the federal government several thousand dollars per person.

The Associated Press obtained an email memo that provided direction on the program.

However, the deal is apparently a limited-time offer.

Essentially, unaccompanied minors 14 and over are able to claim the financial incentive if they respond to the offer within 24 hours and begin the self-deportation process.

The program, aimed at young illegals who are unaccompanied minors, is, in addition to other incentive programs offered to illegal immigrants, the opportunity to leave the United States with some cash in their pocket.

An ICE spokesperson provided a statement to the Daily Caller regarding the program and some of the details involved.

“ICE and the Office of Refugee and Resettlement at HHS are offering a strictly voluntary option to return home to their families,” the statement read.

“This voluntary option gives UACs [unaccompanied alien children] a choice and allows them to make an informed decision about their future.”

The Daily Caller noted:

“ICE told the DCNF that the offer would initially be for 17-year-olds, though it did not confirm the details of the incentives.

“The email to shelters did not indicate there would be consequences for minors who didn’t accept the offer, according to the AP.”

According to current data, there are more than 2,000 unaccompanied minors in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services.

The ICE spokesperson added:

“Any payment to support a return home would be provided after an immigration judge grants the request and the individual arrives in their country of origin.

“Access to financial support when returning home would assist, should they choose that option.”

The agency continued, writing:

“Cartels trafficked countless unaccompanied children into the United States during the Biden Administration, and DHS and HHS have been working diligently to ensure the safety and well-being of those children. …

“Many of these UACs had no choice when they were dangerously smuggled into this country.”

The various programs and incentives offered for those who self-deport have worked swimmingly, so far.

DHS announced that over 2 million illegals have self-deported or have been removed from the United States since Trump took office.

Hopefully, the latest program will help return some minors to their native countries and give them the ability to start over.
