DHS just announced this morning that they’ve upped the amount of money during the holidays for illegals to leave the country, pushing it up to $3,000 dollars plus a free plane ride home.
Here’s the announcement:
The Department of Homeland Security is continuing to deliver this holiday season on its promise to help illegal aliens in the United States return home.
Illegal aliens who sign up to self-deport through the CBP Home app by the end of the year will receive a $3,000 stipend in addition to a free flight home. Using the CBP Home app also qualifies recipients for forgiveness of any civil fines or penalties for failing to depart the country.
“Since January 2025, 1.9 million illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported and tens of thousands have used the CBP Home program. During the Christmas Season, the U.S. taxpayer is so generously TRIPLING the incentive to leave voluntarily for those in this country illegally- offering a $3,000 exit bonus, but just until the end of the year,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. “Illegal aliens should take advantage of this gift and self-deport because if they don’t, we will find them, we will arrest them, and they will never return.”
As we’ve seen in the numbers, nearly 2 million illegals have left through the CBP program, which is way more than the Trump administration has been able to forcibly deport. It is the most effective way to get illegals out of our country and so I don’t blame them for upping the stipend during the holidays.
