Donald Trump Incentivises ‘Leave America’, Offers Migrants Money, Travel, And More

US President Donald Trump has introduced a new plan to encourage undocumented immigrants to leave the United States voluntarily. In a recent interview with Fox Noticias, Trump revealed that his administration would offer financial incentives, including stipends and plane tickets, to those who agree to self-deport. This initiative aims to prioritise the deportation of individuals with serious criminal records, while providing a pathway for “good” individuals to potentially return to the US legally.

Trump elaborated on his plan, saying, “We’re going to give them a stipend. We’re going to give them some money and a plane ticket, and then we’re going to work with them — if they’re good — if we want them back in, we’re going to work with them to get them back in as quickly as we can.” This approach marks a shift from Trump’s earlier hardline stance on immigration, focusing on creating a smoother path for certain individuals to return legally. The details of the program, its implementation timeline and criteria for eligibility, were not specified.
