Airfare: Leave US and get cash, plane tickets? Trump’s proposed plan for immigrants
The Trump administration has introduced a new immigration policy aimed at encouraging undocumented immigrants to “self-deport.” Central to this initiative is the CBP Home app, which allows migrants to voluntarily leave the U.S. without undergoing formal deportation proceedings. This policy is part of a broader effort to reduce the number of undocumented immigrants and includes financial incentives such as airfare and stipends for those who choose to leave voluntarily.
CBP Home App: Migrants can use this app to register their intent to leave the U.S. voluntarily. It replaces the CBP One app, which was shut down by Trump for allegedly promoting mass migration.
Financial Assistance: The program offers stipends and plane tickets to incentivize self-deportation. Trump has stated that “good” immigrants may later be allowed to re-enter the U.S. legally.
Warnings and Consequences: Those who fail to self-deport face harsher penalties, including permanent bans from reentry or a 20-year visa ban if forcibly deported.
This initiative is part of Trump’s broader immigration crackdown, which includes mass deportations and stricter border policies. It reflects a shift in strategy by incentivizing voluntary departures while maintaining tough rhetoric against illegal immigration.
