President Donald Trump announced during an interview on Fox News that he plans to give money and plane tickets to immigrants who are in the United States illegally and decide to 'self-deport.' This change in approach regarding immigration policy represents a significant departure from his previous rhetoric, which tended to be harsher.
During the interview, Trump stated that his administration is focused on expelling 'murderers' from the country and highlighted his interest in facilitating the hiring of workers for hotels and farms. The President expressed his desire for illegal migrant workers to be able to return to the United States legally in the future, without providing specific details on how this process would take place.
Trump mentioned the possibility of implementing a 'self-deportation' program for those immigrants who are in the country without legal permission. While he did not specify when this program would be launched, he assured that plane tickets and a stipend would be offered to participants. The President admitted that he would likely receive criticism for this proposal.
At one point in the interview, a video was shown of an individual of Mexican origin who had illegally entered the United States over 20 years ago and had children who are U.S. citizens. Despite not having confirmation about their current immigration status, the person expressed their support for Trump and agreed that those who commit crimes should be sent back to their countries of origin.
In summary, Trump advocated for a combination of measures aimed at facilitating the exit and possible legal return of illegal immigrants, while emphasizing his focus on the expulsion of criminal individuals from the country.
