Here’s Trump’s master plan.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump is delivering on his promise to protect American borders and taxpayers. In a powerful new move, Trump signed an executive order launching Project Homecoming—the first-ever voluntary self-deportation program in U.S. history.
Under this plan, illegal immigrants can now schedule their own departure using a government-run app, receive free airfare, and even collect a $1,000 stipend once they return to their home country.
“We are giving illegal immigrants a chance to leave with dignity—before they are removed with force,” President Trump declared in a national video address Friday.
A Cost-Saving Alternative for Taxpayers
According to the Department of Homeland Security, this voluntary program could cut deportation costs by up to 70%, saving American taxpayers millions. The average cost to arrest, detain, and deport an illegal immigrant is over $17,000—but under Project Homecoming, those costs drop dramatically.
Trump’s administration describes the new option as a more “dignified and efficient” alternative to the traditional deportation process. The move also aligns with Trump’s broader push to reclaim American sovereignty and enforce strong immigration laws.
Here’s How It Works:
- Eligible migrants must register using the CBP Home app, part of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
- After verification, they’ll receive free travel arrangements and a $1,000 payment, confirmed after arrival in their country.
- Participation is voluntary—but those who refuse risk immediate deportation, jail time, asset seizure, and lifetime bans.
A Message to Illegal Immigrants: “Leave Now—Or Face the Consequences”
“To all illegal immigrants: book your free flight right now,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Those who stay face severe consequences, including sudden deportation, financial penalties, and property confiscation.”
Early reports show the program is already in motion. DHS confirmed that a migrant in Chicago, Illinois, has returned to Honduras, and more departures are scheduled in the coming weeks.
Critics Push Back—But Americans Support Trump’s Firm Stand
As expected, left-wing activists and immigration attorneys are criticizing the plan, warning it may cause panic among illegal aliens. But many conservative Americans—especially seniors—see it as a commonsense, compassionate solution that avoids costly legal battles and restores fairness.
“This plan is long overdue,” said a former immigration officer. “It respects law-abiding citizens while giving illegals a chance to do the right thing.”
Trump’s Border Agenda Rolls Forward
Since returning to the White House, Trump has taken aggressive steps to reinstate border security as a top national priority. From ending birthright citizenship loopholes to expanding interior enforcement, his administration is sending a strong message: America is a nation of laws.
Project Homecoming is not just a policy—it’s a statement that America First is back, stronger than ever.
