Illegal aliens self deporting to avoid harsher consequences | Eastern NC Now

In addition to actively rounding up criminal illegal aliens such as the violent gangsters of Tren de Aragua and MS13, the Trump administration is engaged in a multi-front campaign to encourage illegal aliens to self deport, and it is working.  Part of that effort is removing Biden-created loopholes that allowed some of them to stay.  Part of it is cutting off the freebies from taxpayers that illegal aliens have been receiving.  Part of it is creating new incentives for them to leave now to avoid harsher consequences.

New initiatives have included turning the Biden app for illegal aliens on its head to use it as a tool for self-deportation.  Trump is also rolling out a program to require illegal aliens to register and be fingerprinted and to pay a fine of almost $1,000 a day   Waiting in the wings is the possibility of using existing federal law to start seizing assets of groups that try to protect illegal aliens.

Meanwhile, President Trump has also ordered the US military to take over federal lands on the border to help stop illegal aliens crossing.
