Problem with that is it would take millions to deport them, not money but people.

Hire them to do it.
It'll get easier once DOGE gets a handle on the IRS and SS data bases. Then they can cut the coin going to these illegal MFs, Then start denying the fuckton of Section-8 giveaways.
They'll start self-deporting.
No they won't they will just hold out for the next time dems take control. In the mean time we should be jailing people for employing, providing financial services to, or housing illegals. We need to stop anchor baby system.
Part of me thinks the people that want the US destroyed won with that last massive flood of illegals. Our country will become even more divided and tribal.

A bounty system would work just as well without granting legal status to more illegals.

How would that work?
An illegal migrant with a lengthy rap sheet was deported from the US for the 40th time during a recent Trump administration immigration raid in Texas.
Mexican national Julian Estrada-Garcia, 36, got booted from the country by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers along with another 173 illegal migrants in a two-week operation last month in Houston.
The frequent border-crosser was once again kicked back to Mexico from the Lone Star State.
While in the US, Estrada-Garcia committed several crimes, including driving while intoxicated, possession of illicit drugs and fraud, according to ICE.

Also, a law saying that all immigrants require a Covid jab, that was violated.
My wife, who grew up in south Texas, would tell me stories that her father told her about how the Southern Border Patrol used to work. They'd shoot illegals trying to cross. Later on, the Border Control got in trouble for doing this, and had to stop it.
Flying in masses of illegals, handing them cash and phones, and signing them up for disability payments might be.

Nope. Because it was all matters of government policy.

How about conspiring to violate immigration laws?
Non-enforcement isn't conspiracy.
We had more good judicial news yesterday in the mass deportation wars. The New York Times ran a story headlined, “Pressuring Migrants to ‘Self-Deport,’ White House Moves to Cancel Social Security Numbers.” The sub-headline explained, “By placing migrants in Social Security’s ‘death master file,’ the Trump administration is seeking to cut off their access to credit cards, bank accounts and other financial services.”
In other words, you are dead to us.
White House spokeswoman Elizabeth Huston said the changes at Social Security would help advance the president’s immigration goals. “President Trump promised mass deportations, and by removing the monetary incentive for illegal aliens to come and stay, we will encourage them to self-deport,” she wrote in a statement. “He is delivering on his promise he made to the American people.”
DOGE has repurposed the Social Security “death master file” to function as a blacklist for people who should not be receiving government benefits. On Tuesday, DOGE workers sent the first batch of 6,300 names of migrant criminals and known terrorists who are currently getting US government benefits. Sixty three hundred of them.
The Times saw nothing good about it whatsoever, fretting instead that the campaign could expand and include other types of illegals.
Yesterday, the AP ran a story headlined, “Judge allows requirement that everyone in the US illegally must register to move forward.” The story explained, “everyone in the U.S. illegally must register with the federal government and carry documentation, in a move that could have far-reaching repercussions for immigrants across the country.”
The lawsuit started when the Trump Administration began to enforce a long-overlooked law called the Alien Registration Act of 1940. Also called the “Smith Act,” the law requires all non-citizen adult residents —age 14+ and in the US for more than 30 days— to register with the federal government, including providing detailed personal information, fingerprints, and political affiliation. Failure to comply carries criminal penalties and deportation.
The Smith Act has been sitting there, on the dusty books on the bottom shelf, unenforced for ages. It has been extensively challenged, especially by communist groups during the Cold War, and never been found unconstitutional. In Harisiades v. Shaughnessy (1952), for example, the Supreme Court upheld deportation of legal residents who were former Communist Party members, holding that deportations for political affiliation did not violate the First Amendment or due process rights.
One of the plaintiffs, the National Immigration Law Center, said the fact that Trump’s Homeland Security Agency is now enforcing the Act “forces people into an impossible choice.” The article didn’t bother to explain, but I will.
If illegals follow the law and register, then HHS instantly knows where to find them. So obviously, they don’t want to register. But it would still be their best choice. If they defy the law, and do not register, then HHS has another perfectly legal basis for deporting them— for violating the Smith Act.
Either way, the Trump administration has skillfully outmaneuvered immigration activists by leveraging existing laws. There’s nothing “impossible” or “unfair” here. It is just an inconvenient reality for those grown used to unenforced immigration statutes.
It’s classic Trump 2.0: dusting off an overlooked legal tool that was always back in the shed someplace, just waiting to be oiled up and used.
NBC ran another immigration story yesterday headlined, “Trump plans to fine migrants $998 a day for failing to leave after deportation order.” The sub-headline added, “The Trump administration plans to apply the penalties retroactively for up to five years, which could result in fines of more than $1 million.” ...
It’s the same story all over again. “The fines,” NBC said, “stem from a 1996 law that was enforced for the first time in 2018, during President Donald Trump’s first term in office.” Another unenforced law! The apothegmatically-named Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996 imposes civil penalties on noncitizens who willfully fail to comply with final removal orders. It provides a civil penalty of up to $998 per day for violators.
For Portland readers, that comes to around $360,000 per year.
The Trump Administration has also suggested the DOJ will deploy its asset forfeiture division to confiscate property (think bank accounts and real estate) of illegal aliens who defy their deportation dates.
Noticeably absent from the story was any acknowledgment of why these folks haven’t complied with their final deportation orders in the first place. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement that immigrants in the U.S. illegally should use their CBP One app to “self-deport and leave the country now.”
These Administration moves —enforcing the daily fines of nearly a thousand bucks for ignoring deportation orders, combined with asset seizures, mandatory registration under the long-forgotten Alien Registration Act, and aggressive enforcement of existing immigration statutes— is steadily increasing the pressure on illegal migrants from all angles. If they don’t self-deport, they risk being sent to El Salvador’s brutal Super-Max prison— a Central American fortress known for housing violent gang members under extremely harsh conditions.
But it’s not just sticks. There are also carrots. The Administration has said over and over till it was hoarse that folks who voluntarily self-deport will get a chance to apply for legal residency or citizenship. They just need to exit and then do it the right way.
. In Harisiades v. Shaughnessy (1952), for example, the Supreme Court upheld deportation of legal residents who were former Communist Party members, holding that deportations for political affiliation did not violate the First Amendment or due process rights.
