The Department of Homeland Security is now offering $3,000 to illegal migrants who voluntarily self-deport from the U.S. before the new year, it is being reported.
According to CBS News, DHS has tripled its "exit bonus" from $1,000 to $3,000 for illegal migrants who sign up with the federal government and depart by Dec. 31, 2025, using the rebranded "CBP Home" app.
DHS says eligible participants will also receive free airfare to their home countries and may have certain civil fines or penalties waived if they leave voluntarily.
The stipend would be paid after the U.S. government confirms the individual has exited the country.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told CBS News the incentive is temporary, and warned those who refuse it will be "found," "arrested," and "never return" to the United States.
The CBP Home platform is modeled on the Biden-era CBP One app, originally used to schedule asylum appointments.
Under President Donald Trump's renewed immigration crackdown, the technology has been repurposed to facilitate voluntary departures.
Migrants are instructed to use the app to signal their intent to leave.
If aliens are approved, DHS says they'll get travel assistance and the $3,000 payment once they are confirmed out of the country.
DHS argues the program is aimed at speeding up removals while saving taxpayer money.
As of May 2025, Immigration and Customs Enforcement estimated the average cost to arrest, detain and remove an illegal migrant is about $17,000, CBS News reported.
By contrast, DHS says voluntary departures with travel assistance are far less expensive — a point the administration is amplifying during the holiday season.

And don’t let the screen door hit ya’
where the Good Lord split ya’.
Ilhan Omar receiving the offer envelope:
“I mean, it’s a joke, right?”
If it is a migrant couple, they would have $6,000...
What about kids, do migrant kids each get $3,ooo?
Good question.
Make it $1,000,000 and I’ll go lol
Seriously, $3k or 6 for two will attract some takers.
They’re doing the right thing.
$1K wasn’t enough to convince a family to split.
Now they will consider it...and the consequence of not taking it.
Will buy a nice little hut back home.
What if I identify as having 101 different personalities?
Can I get $3,000,000 and those personalities self-deport, just leaving me in the US?
There will have to be a lot more zeros on the check for the Somali Queen Of Graft to even consider it!
I think that might work... :)
(But 100 X $3,000 = $300,000)
Ha. One of her pairs of shoes in her closets cost her more than that buyout cash.
They should have hired Erik Prince or someone like him (he was pitching his services) as soon as the BBB was passed
Shut down their access to jobs, the dole, and the sending of remittances and many more will go before they are chased down.
Oh I meant 1,001 personalities!
LOL
Money well spent.
Turn off their Welfare and they’ll jump at it
I’m guessing the $1000 self deporters will come back now to get the bigger bonus.
I watched a 1955 teen/music movie “Rock Rock Rock.” Pretty lame and very badly shot.
Tuesday Weld was the blonde girl highschooler. She needed money for a prom dress and thought lending her friends $1 at 1% interest would pay her back $2. “The interest on one dollar is one dollar, right?”
Someone explained it to her, she said “Arithmetic is hard!”
Lots of 1950s music with Chuck Berry and a lot of other never-heard-ofs. The other ‘star’ of the movie was some Dick Clark wannabe music/DJ type. This movie was so bad it was good.
Yep, that’s one of the keys. If their freebies are taken away and employers are heavily fined for hiring them, we’d see a stampede outta here the likes of which, as Trump likes to say, nobody has ever seen before.
