You can definitely trust the Trump administration to be honest and pay what it says it will, and definitely will not immediately kidnap and throw you in its concentration camps when you come to collect the money!
Sorry, are they seriously saying they’ll pay anyone in mexico $1,000 if they come to the US for a few days?
Has he never heard of the Cobra effect
They don’t care. Obama deported more people than Trump. Trump cannot have that. At this point it’s just a matter of beating that number for him. If people intentionally come to the country just to pad that number for him, it’s a win in his book.
Could be funny, if canadians would start to drive over to Alaska, just to claim the 1000$
Who will make sure they get the $1000?
It’s a reverse bounty.
Sure, but the catch is they’ll never be able to come into the US legally again.
Sounds great for the next 4 years, but the winds change. In 20, 30, 50 years this place is going to be completely different, but you’ll still have a deport on your record.
It’s quite a gamble for $1,000.
You’re also assuming they won’t just lure people in with the promise of $$$ and then kidnap them into concentration camps anyway.

Yeah, as a tourist you could just overstay your visa and get rewarded for it.
We can pay DIRECTLY to depopulate and lose money while we lose money! It’s a lose lose!!

Hire a phony ‘successful business executive’ reality show personality as the chief executive of the wealthiest nation on Planet Earth—what could possibly go wrong?
When all else fails, throw money at it until the problem is gone.
They aren’t ever going to get any money. This is the same scam police use to capture people with warrants for their arrest. Tell them they won the lottery and they need to meet at X place to collect their prize then arrest them. The immigrants will arrive at the location and immediately be carted off into a concentration camp.
They might add a few extra steps.
- Promise money
- Migrants come to collect but are told they must wait to be transported out before they get the money, you know so we are sure you left.
- Hold them in detention and fly them to El Salvador
- If the money comes up, tell them that you had to deduct transport and housing and that they actually owe money now.
- Actually give the money to whatever private business you’re trying to line the pockets of (CIC Transportation and Detention LLC?)

Holy shit, I just realized it now, he’s Donny La Rue!
This is his least evil method for destroying the economy yet. Progress?
It’s cheaper than sending out ICE and detaining someone let alone a trial, that’s why.
Yet also not enough money to move to a different apartment let alone a different country.
Doesn’t really matter, Trump doesn’t care. He’s just fishing. If literally 1 person takes it, it’s a success (to him).
This is the most humane immigration policy of this Admin. The only problem I have with it is the amount is stupid low. $5-10K would probably be motivating to many immigrants and would still be cheaper than paying icepigs to kidnap them.
The only downside I can think of is immigrants crossing the border just to collect. But that’s not really much of a problem and quite funny on top.
