Donald Trump shook the nation with his new plan to pay every illegal migrant who self-deports over $1,000 - including their plane ticket out of the U.S.
The Department of Homeland Security shared a plan incentivizing self-deportation through the repurposed CBP Home app.
In addition, his new plan to 'rebuild and open Alcatraz' as he seeks to crack down on violent criminals and illegal migrants is also shaking up Republicans and Democrats.
The plan is expected to cost roughly $300 million - which would be footed by American taxpayers.
Trump administration announces $1,000 payment program for illegal aliens willing to self-deport.

The White House unveiled a plan that will pay migrants up to $1,000 if they deport themselves from the U.S.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shared a plan incentivizing self-deportation through the repurposed CBP Home app, which the Trump administration is using to facilitate the removal of migrants in the U.S. illegally.
'Any illegal alien who uses the CBP Home App to self-deport will also receive a stipend of $1,000 dollars, paid after their return to their home country has been confirmed through the app,' a DHS press release released on Monday states.
'Currently the average cost to arrest, detain, and remove an illegal alien is $17,121,' it adds.
Senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller, one of the masterminds behind Trump's sweeping immigration agenda, said the long-term savings per self-deported family could be well over $1 million.
'The savings are as much as $1 million per illegal alien family given the long-term costs of free welfare and public support,' he wrote on X.

Shook the nation?
Please
Great concept but too small to entice much self-deportation.
Blind to what? He’s announcing a Bush/McCain-style amnesty today that we’re paying for.
Let’s get serious $5,000 tax free and any nonviolent crimes are expunged. This would at least give the illusion of being able to return legally.
Hey, pal. You’re not supposed to launch such (incredibly inaccurate btw) insults here.
But gangbangers aren’t going home for a free ride and some loose change.
This is the “comprehensive immigration reform” amnesty that RINOs and Dems past tried to sneak by us for years.
But I guess he’s got you buffaloed.
Who’s stupid here?
The kicker, they pick up their paycheck in Mexico.
I’ve seen this LE trap before lol
Of course what if they sneak back in the next day?
That is just the admin cost to get them out of the country. Not even counting ER visits, Social Security they are stealing, ect...
True, but it is still chump change. It cost more than $2000 per month each to keep them here . . . more if they do crimes and put more welfare babies in the system.
They gave them more than $1,000 when they invited them in.
This is Trump’s RINO amnesty: He’s telling them they can come back “legal” if they just accept his free vacation offer.
In that case, offer then $20,000.
no shock, except for anyone who has not listened to press secy and others, they already said a month or more ago they would assist with transport for illegals going to home country, but they needed to leave by a certain date which I think already passed.
Trump can save a lot of money this way - and it allows illegals to ‘do the right thing’. If they leave voluntarily they can get in line to come back.
If we have to deport them they will never be allowed back to the US
