The Trump administration will begin charging illegal migrants $998 a day if they are under a deportation order and don't self-deport.
"Illegal aliens should use the CBP Home app to self-deport and leave the country now," Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday. "If they don’t, they will face the consequences. This includes a fine of $998 per day for every day that the illegal alien overstayed their final deportation order."
The administration is using a 1996 law that will allow illegal migrants to be fined if they don't leave the U.S.

Yes. THIS is what I voted for last November.
This is absolutely what my family voted for. Democrats tried to steal our representation. This take a big chunk of it back.
*takes
I agree. Nice to see what I voted for being put into action.
This will help.
But we were told that it would be impossible to send 15-30 million illegal aliens back to where they came from.
Why only a quarter to half of them?
How about fining $998 a day to those who hire them, educate them, house them, register them to vote, etc.
And when and how will these fines be collected?
Better idea: Just impose a 90% tax on their paychecks
Yes, order every business and corporation to not hire illegals otherwise their assets are immediately confiscated by the government
Easy enough for them to get here. Just reverse the process.
We have no idea how many of them there really are.
Ah this is only after theyve been to court and been ordered to leave by a judge...
This is not an incentive for any of them to leave otherwise...
So dont get excited...
That is the law,
but how will you collect?
For every job I had as an adult
I had to provide lots of
ID( most my jobs required security clearances).
Why do we not enforce laws we have to nail employers
that cheat to save a buck?
I’ve seen Farm hands running away as C&BP showed up and the farmer, employer didn’t get cited!
Americans will do that work, if they get American wages.
fine him enough and they will hire American.
Get illegals out of my country,
then we’ll work on trade imbalances due to production
costs(eg labor).
Start fining the employers who hire illegal aliens a $1000 a day-all employers including the Hampton’s polo playing crowd.
I think there is another PSYOP aspect to this that I think is hard to perceive unless you are in this particular underground network.
When Trump was elected the first time, in my small town more than half of the 25% Hispanic elementary school children didn’t go to school the next day, and much of the rest of the week. And it wasn’t in protest.
You and I know that Trump wasn’t going to deport them all that day, but . . .
Trump advanced it during his first term, but it didn't pass Congress. It is almost certainly a top priority at this time.
Levying a fine might give the invaders another chance for a court delay.
Grab’em, put’em on a plane and fly’em back home.
Stop all the bennies and freebies. They aren’t going to stick around if they have to pay for everything THE WAY AMERICANS DO.
It is already illegal for employers to knowingly hire undocumented immigrants. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 established employer sanctions, making it unlawful for employers to knowingly hire illegal aliens. Employers are required to confirm the work authorization of every new hire using Form I-9, and failure to comply can result in civil penalties and criminal charges for engaging in a “pattern or practice” of violations. Our problem is that it is not enforced.
I’m waiting for Trump to deputized militias to roundup and detain for ICE to pickup for deportation.
