Trump's $1,000 (€880) exit incentive: A bid to cut illegal immigration
The Trump administration is proposing to offer illegal immigrants $1,000 (€880) for voluntary departure from the US. This is part of the Department of Homeland Security's new strategy.
What do you need to know?
- The Trump administration offers $1,000 (€880) to illegal immigrants for voluntarily leaving the US.
- Immigrants must submit a departure plan using the CBP Home app to avoid detention and deportation.
- Travel costs are not covered by the government, but immigrants can expect financial assistance and possibly scholarships for their return home.
What are the terms of the offer?
President Donald Trump's administration has introduced a new initiative aimed at reducing the number of illegal immigrants in the US. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that it offers $1,000 (€880) to anyone who decides to voluntarily leave the country. The condition is to submit a departure plan using the CBP Home app, helping them avoid being placed on a deportation list.
Why is it worth taking this offer?
The DHS emphasises that self-deportation is the safest and most convenient way to leave the US. Those who choose to take this step can expect financial assistance in the form of scholarships to return to their home country. Although the government does not cover travel costs, it offers support to ease this process.
What are the next steps for immigrants?
Immigrants wishing to take advantage of this offer must inform the government of their departure plan. By doing so, they will avoid detention and deportation.
