Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed Thursday nearly two million illegal aliens have self-deported since President Donald Trump took office in January.
DHS has implemented a number of programs and used a series of tactics to promote self deportation.
"In her first 200 days as secretary, DHS also launched an international, multimillion-dollar ad campaign warning illegal aliens to LEAVE NOW because if they don’t, we will arrest them and deport them. This new data shows illegal aliens are hearing our message,"
DHS adds in a statement. "Secretary Noem ended the CBP One App, that allowed more than one million aliens to illegally enter the country, which has been transformed into the CBP Home App.
Part of Operation Homecoming, the CBP Home App allows illegal aliens to take control of their departure. The American people are generously offering illegal aliens $1,000 and a free flight to self-deport now."
"The rapid decline in the illegal immigrant population is already being felt nationwide, from reduced strain on public services to a resurgence in local job markets," the statement continued.
Meanwhile, illegal immigration crackdowns are in full effect across the country in major "sanctuary" jurisdictions -- Washington D.C. is the latest target.

I bet if it was the choice of the United States as to which country we would send them to, they would all LEAVE.
Somalia, the Sudan, El Salvador, Chad - go ahead and roll the dice, amigos. The choice is OURS as to where you will be dumped.
These 2 million are great numbers.
You get $1000 and a free plane ticket home when you use the convenient ICE app to self-deport. You have children here, they get same $1000 and ticket back to Guatemala, Squatemala whatever wherever. Even Nepal and the Congo, and we had lots of ultra diverse border jumpers when Zombie Biden governed.
Are you from Timbuctoo? ICE has got you covered!
Great news!!!
I would have gone with a bus ticket and a Subway $1 off coupon, but I’m stingy compared to Kristi.
I have a feeling that when Alligator Alcatraz hit the news, the majority of these people boogied out.
Pity is that when Trump is gone and the libs are back in the drivers seat they’ll all rush back, this “win” is temporary.
For those using the $1000 self-deport app, is there a requirement for fingerprints & photo? If not, what’s to prevent illegals & cartels from recycling the same people at $1000 per each repeated flight?
The average illegal fees to get smuggled into the United States vary significantly based on nationality and circumstances:
Mexican migrants typically pay around $6,937 to cross the border.
1
Central American migrants can pay between $7,000 and $10,000.
1
Asian immigrants, including Chinese, may pay in the tens of thousands, with some estimates reaching up to $75,000.
1
Recent reports indicate that some migrants have been paying as much as $18,000 to be smuggled into the U.S..
1
Overall, fees can range from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on the region and the smuggler involved.

These figures highlight the significant financial burden that individuals face when attempting to cross the border illegally.
We were recently in Colorado and New Mexico on vacation. It gave me great pleasure to see several fully laden trucks and vans full of hispanics with all of their worldly possession heading south.
2 million is a nice start.
Well, SOMEONE is funding that because if these people are indeed *poor* illegals, WHERE on God's green earth would they have gotten that kind of money?????
And as impoverished as most of the rest of the world is, if they had that kind of money, they could live pretty well.
Someone wanting to destroy the US is funding this.
That would be about how many Dem seats??
One seat per 747,000...so say 3 seats...
Just a fraction of what remains. It’s a travesty what we’ve allowed America to become by tolerating trash like Newsome and company. This disease is contagious, spreading from state to state till it’s incurable.
You have an interesting point.
Trump is doing massive good for the country as a whole for all citizens and our culture. The vast majority of people know this and appreciate it. And it will keep getting better.
Sadly, this will all be forgotten if the rats can pick the right candidate that can tell perfect lies and just look so good. I’m thinking of how America fell for “Hope & Change” and getting that Magic Negro into office and just fawning over him for 8 full years.
I doubt if the next rat president will be another Magic Negro, AOC or Newscum, but they will find a perfect actor and stupid America will fall for it.
Pity we can't deport these fools to the Congo, or equivalent.
~18 million to go?
#1: After Trump is 8 years of Vance.
#2: The MAGA magic only has to last for the remainder of my life time as far as I'm concerned. The next generation seems to embrace socialism, so as far as I'm concerned, they can choke on it.
“Someone wanting to destroy the US is funding this.”
George Soros funds the lawyers and a couple of NGOs that facilitate getting illegals here. There are probably a few other billionaires doing some financing. I suspect that USAID is another source. The Chinese illegals are, I suspect, largely self-financed. They have money, but they know it will eventually be seized by the party or disappear when China collapses.
