Through the end of the year, illegal aliens who self-deport using the CBP Home App can receive a $3,000 exit bonus per person— triple the current bonus. But wait, there’s more! Illegals will also get free airfare back to their home countries, and DHS will waive civil fines and penalties tied to remaining here illegally. Those who self-deport will remain eligible for future consideration for legal immigration, and will not need to engage in foot races with ICE agents.

It’s not clear how many have so far clicked the “Deport Now” button in their app. Given what we now know about widespread welfare abuse, it’s probably still much more lucrative for illegals to stay here than take $1,000 to leave. Maybe $3K per person will be more attractive.
