Millions of Illegal Immigrants Leave US in Record-Breaking Year: Report

According to a recently released DHS report, illegal immigrants have left the U.S. in droves since President Donald Trump was elected; 1.9 million illegal immigrants have self-deported, and 600K have been removed by ICE.

“Illegal aliens are hearing our message to leave now. They know that if they don’t, we will find them, we will arrest them, and they will never return,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

From Fox News:

The decline in the illegal immigrant population has resulted in a reduction in public services and a resurgence in local job markets, DHS said.

Since January, the Trump administration has embarked on a mass deportation campaign targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records.

In addition, those living in the United States illegally have been encouraged to return to their native countries using the CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) Home Mobile App, through which users can receive a complimentary plane ticket home and a $1,000 exit bonus upon their return.

Any unpaid fines for failing to depart in a timely manner will also be forgiven.

Earlier this week, DHS launched a “Worst of the Worst” webpage, which displays information on criminal illegal immigrants arrested during enforcement operations. The operations have generated criticism from Democratic officials and city leaders, who say that law enforcement officers have violated the civil rights of U.S. citizens and immigrants.
