The question 65 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: all of us should be asking is why would you 66 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: not be in favor of that. Democrats claim they're all 67 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: about right humanity. They want to make sure that everyone's 68 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: happy and safe and well taken care of. You know 69 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: that the party of actually putting children in cages that 70 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: was under the Obama administration now treating people like a 71 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: human being, which is what Democrats have been obsessed with. 72 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: Are again angry that we're saying, if you're willing to 73 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: self deport, we will give you three thousand dollars holidays stipend. Now, 74 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: this is running through the end of the year. It's 75 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: a brilliant Trump policy, but it's also being sold as 76 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: a small expense, is far less than the cost of 77 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: chasing and deporting an illegal immigrant, And it comes amid 78 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 2: the growing pressure of the economic issues that migrants. Illegal 79 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: immigrants have put on this country, taking jobs away from 80 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: American citizens, raising the cost of rent for American citizens, 81 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: and raising the cost of home pricing for American citizens. 82 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: The President said it this way during the Christmas season. 83 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: The US taxpayer is so generously tripling the incentive to 84 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: leave voluntarily for those in the country illegally, offering a 85 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: three thousand dollars exit bonus. Now you only have to 86 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 2: the end of the year. Christy Nome's saying illegal aliens 87 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,559 Speaker 2: should take advantage of the gift and self deport because 88 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: if they don't, we will find them, we will. 89 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: Arrest them, and they will never return. 90 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: Now, I think this is like one of the most 91 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: humanitarian things I have ever heard, Right, I think this 92 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: is amazing. There was a man that even filmed himself 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: his deporting video at the airport to avoid being picked 94 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: up by ICE. 95 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: He said that he. 96 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: Doesn't feel welcome here anymore as an illegal immigrant. Now 97 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 2: he's parked his car, he's got his pillow around his neck, 98 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 2: and he's speaking into TikTok. 99 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 4: Right. 100 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: The reason why I play this is because this, to 101 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: me is like the best video that illegal immigrant could 102 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 2: ever put out. Why One, they're basically admitting defeat. Two 103 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: they're telling other illegal immigrants don't come here, it's not 104 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: worth it. Right, the chance of you getting picked up 105 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: are very high. He's doing a p s A that 106 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: is telling illegal immigrants to stop coming into this country. 107 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: That is again another example of just how incredible this is. 108 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 2: ICE putting out this Channel thirteen video self deported or 109 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: be deported. The choice is yours, as they described it 110 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: as a mother, a Columbian mother is self deporting with 111 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: her kids next week after her husband had already been deported. 112 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: And again this is great news because it's a walking billboard. 113 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 2: You got an illegal from Guatemala say she may have 114 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: to move home with her kids since her husband got deported. 115 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: While waiting to work, waiting for work outside of a 116 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: home depot, another example of self deportations. Again part of 117 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 2: the story. Listen, This mother wants to be known as Mirabel's. 118 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: She's not sure how much longer her six year old 119 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: will still be playing with these kids here at Esperanza 120 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: Elementary School. Mirabel is undocumented and now parenting on her 121 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: own after her husband was detained while he looked for 122 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: work outside of home depot. He's since been deported back 123 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 2: to Guatemala. 124 00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: It's affecting their. 125 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 3: Chill d and Marabel says as she speaks through the tears, 126 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: the children have fear that makes them not want to 127 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 3: go out on the street. But their one year old 128 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: daughter was born in the US, and so was their 129 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: six year old, who's now a first grader. Year right now, 130 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: the district's enrollment stands that just over four hundred and 131 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 3: nine thousand students. That's down four percent from last year, 132 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: two percent more than what was projected. 133 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 6: The projection for this year was off by a significant margin, 134 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 6: and that margin is absolutely associated with federal immigration actions 135 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 6: in our community. 136 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 4: For every single student, LAUS brings in about twenty thousand 137 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 4: dollars in state and federal funds used to pay for 138 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 4: variety programs many students use and benefit from. 139 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,679 Speaker 6: The loss is as high as one hundred and forty 140 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 6: million dollars for a one single year. If that continues 141 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 6: than year after year, then we're talking about a significant 142 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 6: impact of the budgets. 143 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 3: When you tell your daughter that you may have to 144 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: pull her out of the school and move her to Guatemala, 145 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 3: what does she tell you? She doesn't want to leave, 146 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 3: Marrabel says, but her daughter may have no choice. Marabell 147 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 3: can't afford to keep living in La much longer, so 148 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: Esperanza is likely to lose one more student very soon. 149 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: Again, this report I just played for you is exactly 150 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: the best public relations campaign that Trump administration could have 151 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: ever asked for. You can leave now. We will give 152 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: you a three thousand dollars bonus. You can have a 153 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 2: chance to come back legally and do it the right way, 154 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 2: and if you don't, we will hunt you down. We 155 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 2: will find you, and you will be gone now. The 156 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: departure of economic migrants is also pressuring uncaring elites in 157 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,239 Speaker 2: the business. They say politics and government to help discarded 158 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: Americans return to work, health, and prosperity this new report says, 159 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: which again makes me laugh. 160 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: You have the crazies out there. 161 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: One of them said, quote, I feel like the system 162 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 2: isn't broken, it's working against us. A young American with 163 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: ten dollars left, shares a home with four roommates, lives 164 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: off granola bars, drives a car she can't afford to fix, 165 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: and watches rent bills and basing necesses wiped out of 166 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 2: every paycheck. Wlin, Well, guess what when you are supporting 167 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 2: people that are allowing for illegal immigrants to come into 168 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: this country and take your jobs and drive up the 169 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: price of housing and rent, this is what you get, 170 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 2: which goes back to the question that I ask everyone, 171 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: is it the best money we can spend? And showing 172 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: compassion for illegal immigrants at the same time humanizing them. 173 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: Democrats have said that Republicans will never do by giving 174 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: them three thousand dollars to self deport. This is, by 175 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 2: the way, I believe a incentive based program. Donald Trump 176 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 2: understands incentive based programs and how powerful they can be, 177 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 2: while also warning you that if you don't take this 178 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: sweetheart deal, you've broken our laws and we're willing to 179 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: fly you home and give you a bonus to do it. 180 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: But if you don't do it right, this is important. 181 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: If you don't do it, what's going to happen? Well, unfortunately, 182 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: we're going to hunt you down, We're gonna find you, 183 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: We're going to come after you, and you are going 184 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 2: to lose. You will be deported and never allowed back 185 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: in that right, there is exactly, I mean exactly what 186 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: I voted for. And I was talking to some ICE 187 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 2: agents gosh, forty eight hours ago and when this was 188 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: becoming a thing, and I was like, all right, explain 189 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 2: to me why I should be in favor of this 190 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: or against it, And they all unanimously said, you don't 191 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 2: understand the amount of time resources, court appearances, documentation, fingerprinting, processing, 192 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 2: even more paperwork. 193 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: Then lawyers get involved. 194 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: If if we catch someone at the home depot parking lot, 195 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: the two thousand or three thousand dollars is a steal 196 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: compared to what we pay while we hold them while 197 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: we go through the process and then we deport them. 198 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: It is also when we deport them, right, we're paying 199 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: for that deportation flight. This is cheaper than that is 200 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: they described it, and they said, if you could take 201 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: tomorrow a million people and give them all three thousand dollars. 202 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: It would be so much cheaper than what it would 203 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: cost to deport a million people. And ultimately, if you're 204 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: deporting these people and then the people who are taking 205 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 2: their place are keeping their money in America in our 206 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: systems as sending the majority of back home via Western 207 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: Union to whatever country they came from, because the majority 208 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: of legal immigrants do not keep their money in this country. 209 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 2: That's also I think the thing really important that people 210 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 2: need to understand. And so that's another part of the 211 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: frustrating aspect of this. 212 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: People are very, very very frustrated by this. Right. 213 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 2: They're frustrated that the math is just so much cheaper 214 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 2: if we do it this way. Are you rewarding bad behavior? 215 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 2: Is how I asked the question. Well, but aren't we rewarding? 216 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 2: They're like, look, if this is a revolving door, this 217 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: would be a bad proposition, right, Like, we wouldn't advocate 218 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: for this three thousand under the Biden administration because a 219 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: lot of people just go back to see their family. 220 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: You're paying for their trip back and then they're coming right, 221 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 2: they're seeing right back in America. Well, we've locked down 222 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 2: the border, like the illegal immigrants are not coming across 223 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 2: the border. We have locked it down because of the 224 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 2: leadership of Donald Trump. So they described it as now 225 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: it's worth it to do it because you're getting a 226 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: great bang for your buck. The other part is you're 227 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: only doing this through the end of the year. It's also, 228 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: they said, a psychological thing. Those who go to the 229 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: front of the line and the good graces to leave 230 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: early are the. 231 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: Ones that we're willing to look at when we come back. 232 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: Okay, So like when we're going through the process of 233 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: seeing who may get to come into this country, if 234 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 2: you wait too long, not only do you lose the 235 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: instead of the three grand, it drops back down to 236 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 2: a thousand. But at some point you're going to get caught, 237 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 2: as Christynome described it. And we've seen a lot of 238 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 2: people get caught and then you get nothing. So there 239 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 2: is a there's a lot here, you understand, like, there's 240 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: an awful lot of X factors here, And I think 241 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: that's the important part when you're dealing with deportation and 242 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: you're dealing with with time, paperwork, and part of this 243 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: is it frees up for us to go after the 244 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: hard criminals and the worst among us. If we have 245 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: millions of people that are self deporting who may not 246 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: be the hard criminals, that's another like massive perk. This 247 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: is the fastest way to get people out, and then 248 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: the dollars they were making are now going to Americans, 249 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: and those dollars are staying in America in our economy, 250 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: like three thousand. To get rid of someone who's taking 251 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 2: up a home or an apartment and their money is 252 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 2: not staying in America's economy is a no brainer. It's 253 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 2: not just a tax dollars, it's the cash. The number 254 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: one stimulus of Mexico's economy has been illegal immigrants sending 255 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 2: money back to Mexico. 256 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: It is outpaced oil production. So think about that. 257 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: If you can have that amount of money stay in America, 258 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: what does that do for our economy? Because the majority 259 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: of legal immigrants that stay here, they do not keep 260 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: all their money here. They send it home. It's a problem, man, Like, 261 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: it's a huge problem. And I hate that we're having 262 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: to spend any money at all, but I know that 263 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 2: we have to spend money to get rid of illegal immigrants. 264 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: And if we're going out there to track them down, 265 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: then it's a really big problem, and it costs a 266 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: lot to do it. Incentivizing people to self deport with 267 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 2: a three thousand dollars bonus, I would say why not? 268 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: Like this is if we can get rid of a 269 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: couple hundred thousand illegal immigrants by paying them three grand 270 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: to get out of. 271 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: Here, like, that's just money well spent. 272 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 2: It's a lot cheaper than going after them, having to 273 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 2: find them, dealing with all the deportations. 274 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: Like it is that that is a hard thing to do. 275 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: It takes money, it takes time, and everybody knows it. 276 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: It's a lot of cash. It's described as a three 277 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: thousand dollars exit bonus. 278 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: Right. 279 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: It's part of the voluntary self deportation program references Project Homecoming. 280 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: Now here's the eligibility requirements. Because I asked for this, 281 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to go through them. So you understand, only 282 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 2: undocumented immigrants people in the US without lawful immigration status 283 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 2: are eligible. So that being illegal immigration, you have to 284 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: have registration through the Department hid Security app. Individuals much 285 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: register and arrange their departure using the Home the Home 286 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 2: smartphone app. 287 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: There's a part by deadline. 288 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 2: The bonus would apply only if the individual voluntarily exits 289 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: the country by December thirty first, so you got to 290 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: go fast. The free travel provided, they say, the DHS 291 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: wire arranged to pay for transportation flight for the person's 292 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: home country as part of the offer as well. Then 293 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: there are waivers of fines and penalties, so this is 294 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: the incentivizing part. Okay, Participants quote may be eligible for 295 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: forgiveness of certain civil fines or penalties tied to their 296 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 2: unlawful presence if they voluntarily depart using the program. 297 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: The payment of. 298 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 2: The flight are usually processed after departure is completed, all right, 299 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 2: so there's a check and balance there with that. Some 300 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: previous participants criticize delays or problems with receiving earlier versions 301 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 2: of the payments because they won the money like immediately, 302 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: like instagratification are upfront. They're not doing this now. The 303 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: consequences are the incentive as well. DHS has said those 304 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 2: who do not leave voluntarily could face enforcement actions, including 305 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 2: arrest and formal deportation under immigration laws. They say that 306 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 2: it's fortunately removed three deportation typically face longer bands on 307 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 2: reentry than people who leave voluntarily, and they said this 308 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 2: three thousand dollars bonus is not a general, everyone gets 309 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: three thousand to leave the country. It's temporary for the 310 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants to voluntarily exit, and they say it's tied 311 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 2: to self deportation. So if you're willing to do it yourself, 312 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 2: do it now, get out of the country by the 313 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 2: end of the month. 314 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: Then bam, you get it. 315 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: And they said, look, if you want to walk or 316 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: talk through this, you can literally go on the CBP 317 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 2: app about the self deportation process and go step by 318 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 2: step like they're trying to make this as easy as 319 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 2: possible to leave, but you must leave by the end 320 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 2: of the year.
