President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday establishing a new voluntary deportation program that offers free flights to undocumented migrants who choose to leave the U.S. on their own.
The proclamation, titled Establishing Project Homecoming, was announced in a video message posted by the official White House X account.
In a 90-second address, Trump detailed what he described as the first-ever self-deportation program for illegal aliens.
Any illegal alien can simply show up at an airport and receive a free flight out of our country, Trump said. We have also launched a phone app called CBP Home. Thats C-B-P-H-O-M-E, where illegals can book a free flight to any foreign country. As long as its not here, you can go anywhere you want. Trump also described what he called an important exit bonus for illegals to incentivize their self-deportation.

(3,381 posts)It's akin to a basic economic observation that second order changes come about very slowly over extended periods of time and then suddenly escalates exponentially in a moment.
We currently have a greater number of known knowns, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns than at any other in my lifetime.
Europe opening their borders for Americans is a very real possibility.
Canada opening their borders for Americans is a very real possibility.
There are two types of Nazis, The Machiavellian and The Darwin Award Winners.
Nazis rely upon a Darwin Award Winning serf population.
Without it fascism could not function.
Fascism relies upon meat grinder jobs for the Soylent Greeen economy.
Non-fascists are non-compliant.
Nazis prefer for non-fascists to leave.

(6,426 posts)... I'm going to "self deport" to Paris. The $1,000 should cover the flight back, and leave a bit left over for some duty free shopping for arbitrage.

(8,280 posts)I mean, what possible kind of ID would an "illegal" need to book such a flight?
Crafty Americans wanting free airfare for a vacation will just show up at an airport with fake ID showing them to be "undocumented" (what does that even look like??) and get a free ride wherever they want. I'd go to New Zealand.
But really, why not?
