The government of US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that illegal immigrants in the United States pay $ 1,000 (883 euros) and take over their travel costs, provided they voluntarily return to their home country.
In the election campaign, Trump had announced a tough course against irregular migration and promised the largest deportation campaign in American history. His approach is very controversial and is increasingly against legal resistance.
“We will all pay you a certain amount and bring you a nice flight to your home country,” Trump explained to journalists in the White House on Monday.
Registration works via app
Minister of Homeland Protection Kristi Name presented the project on Monday. She described the “self -declaration” as “the best, safest and most cost -effective way to leave the United States and prevent arrest”. With the help of the “CBP Home App”, the amount is paid as soon as the person has confirmed his actual return to their respective home country via app.
A return to the United States can also be possible after departure, Trump said: “One day you can come back if you are good people, the kind of person we want in our (country).”
Washington wants to save money with the measure
According to the Ministry of Homeland Protection (DHS), the average costs for arrest, detention and deportation by an illegal migrant in the US are $ 17,121. With the help of the “self -different”, the costs can “lower around 70 percent” – despite taking over the travel costs and the payment of the $ 1,000. According to DHS, an illegal immigrant from Honduras has already benefited from the program and had returned to his home country.
