President Donald Trump’s offer to illegal alines of a thousand bucks and a free plane ride back to their homes has been put into motion and the first self-deportation flights have already begin.
The first flight lifted off on Monday as several dozen illegals took Trump up on his offer to help them go back where they belong.
Per The Blaze:
Citing an unnamed Department of Homeland Security official, Axios claimed that the first so-called “self-deportation” flight took off from Houston around 9:30 a.m. The plane reportedly carried 65 illegal aliens from Colombia and Honduras and took the individuals to their respective countries of origin.
Those on the flight apparently took advantage of an offer from the Trump administration known as “Project Homecoming.” In exchange for electing to “self-deport” through the CBP Home app, they each received a free ticket home plus $1,000 upon their arrival, Axios said.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has urged all immigrants in the U.S. illegally to participate in the program. “If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest, and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest,” Noem said in a statement on May 5.
This what millions of Americans voted for, folks.
And it’s about time.
