Trump Administration Will Pay Undocumented Migrants $1,000 To Leave the U.S.

In a surprising twist on immigration policy, the Trump-era government quietly implemented a $1,000 cash incentive for undocumented migrants who voluntarily agreed to self-deport.

This controversial program, aimed at reducing legal battles and detention costs, raised eyebrows across the political spectrum:

Proponents say it’s cheaper than prolonged deportation proceedings
Critics argue it rewards illegal entry and may encourage return fraud
Immigration groups remain divided on ethical implications

DHS claimed the approach saved millions in taxpayer funds — but the long-term effectiveness remains unclear.

Would paying people to leave actually solve the immigration crisis?
