DHS Offers Illegal Immigrants a $3,000 ‘Holiday Stipend’ for Self-Deportation
The federal government is offering a $3,000 “Holiday Stipend” to encourage illegal immigrants to self-deport over Christmas.
The small expense is far less than the cost of chasing and deporting migrants — and it comes amid growing economic pressure on migrants who are losing jobs and housing amid President Donald Trump’s enforcement of the nation’s popular migration laws.
“During the Christmas Season, the U.S. taxpayer is so generously TRIPLING the incentive to leave voluntarily for those in this country illegally — offering a $3,000 exit bonus, but just until the end of the year,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. “Illegal aliens should take advantage of this gift and self-deport because if they don’t, we will find them, we will arrest them, and they will never return.”
“Since January 2025, 1.9 million illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported, and tens of thousands have used the CBP Home program,” the agency claimed.
The statement added:
Self-deportation through the CBP Home app is the best gift that an illegal alien can give themselves and their families this holiday season. It’s a fast, free, and easy process: Just download the app, fill out your information, and DHS will take care of the rest — including arranging and paying for your travel back home.
Those illegal aliens who don’t take advantage of this special offer today have only one alternative: They will be arrested, deported, and they will never be able to return to the United States.
