DHS triples 'exit bonus' for migrants who self-deport before new year

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is offering migrants living in the U.S. illegally a $3,000 stipend to voluntarily self-deport by the end of the year.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Monday that DHS is tripling the so-called exit bonus for migrants who register to self-deport through the CBP Home app before the end of the year. The department will also provide a free ticket and will forgive any civil fines or penalties owed for overstaying visas or otherwise failing to leave the country.

“If you voluntarily want to go home now to your country, if you’re in this United States of America illegally, we will give you $3,000 through the holidays to send you home. We’ll buy you a ticket, give you $3,000 to go home — and that includes people that have not been detained, maybe have interacted with us, are detained and don’t have criminal charges against them,” Noem said in an interview on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends.”

“Raise your hand. We’ll help you get home, we’ll facilitate it, and you might get the chance to come back to this country the right way someday,” she continued. “If you wait until we interdict you and detain you and arrest you and have to deport you ourselves, you’ll never get the chance to come back.”

Like someone can find a ticket at this late moment. This is a scam to get them to sign up and the offer will be rescinded Jan 1st with them exposed by applying.
