Show Notes
The Department of Homeland Securitys new program, offering cash payments and free flights, has led to 72,000 undocumented immigrants voluntarily leaving the country. The initiative, costing nearly $1 billion, provides stipends of up to $2,600 per person. While experts question the role of financial perks, the program has seen a significant increase in voluntary departures, with over 675,000 total deportations and goals to hit 1 million annually. However, independent estimates suggest a much lower voluntary departure rate, and many immigrants are hesitant to use the required app due to fears of permanent bans.
