President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday to create a federally funded self-deportation program with paid flights and an “exit bonus” for any who seek to “voluntarily and permanently” leave the US.
In a statement posted to the White House’s website, Trump lashed out at immigrants, blaming “a full-scale invasion” of those who stay in the US illegally for crime and violence.
“Illegal aliens who stay in America face punishments, including — sudden deportation, in a place and manner solely of our discretion. TO ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS: BOOK YOUR FREE FLIGHT RIGHT NOW!” Trump wrote in a post to Truth Social.
