The Trump administration is all about self-deportation — leave on your own or be kicked out. A new report says that the Department of Homeland Security has added another reason for illegals to self-deport — fines for refusing to leave the country:
🚨 JUST IN: DHS will begin fining illegals $998 per DAY for refusing to leave the country — even going so far as to seize property

So now you’re facing bankruptcy AND El Salvador.

Forcing self deportation is the cheapest and fastest way

Most efficient by far. Those who choose not to self-deport should face severe punishments though.

Now that CBP Home app can start sending them push notifications with their bill.

We should also charge them for the enforcement and transportation costs to deport them.

I am curious how this will work since they are illegal already.

I’m talking about enforcement
We're curious too how DHS is going to collect the fine. It sounds like one of those ideas that looks good on paper but won't be enforced.
That’s a great idea but good luck getting the money.
