<p>The Trump administration is increasing their cash payments to illegal immigrants opting to self-deport from the United States from $1,000 to $3,000, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News on Monday.</p>
<p>In addition to footing the bill for flights, the Department of Homeland Security began offering payments of $1,000 for illegal immigrants choosing to leave the country rather than facing formal deportation in May.</p>
<p>Now, they’re tripling the incentive to ensure that illegal immigrants “get home in time for Christmas,” Noem told Fox News.</p>
<p>“Illegal aliens should take advantage of this gift and self-deport because if they don’t, we will find them, we will arrest them, and they will not return,” Noem wrote on X.</p>

<p>Roughly 1.9 million illegal immigrants have left the United States on their own, according to DHS. It’s not clear how many of those used the CBP Home app to depart and receive the cash payments.</p>

<p dir="ltr" lang="en">This Christmas season, the U.S. taxpayer is generously TRIPLING the incentive for illegal aliens to leave voluntarily. Through the end of the year, illegal aliens who self-deport using the CBP Home App can receive a $3,000 exit bonus.</p>

<p>The app ensures that illegal immigrants’ flights are paid for by the federal government.</p>

<p>It also gives illegal immigrants the opportunity to potentially come back to the United States legally.</p>
<p>“If you voluntarily want to go home now to your country, if you&#8217;re in the United States of America illegally, we will give you $3,000 through the holidays to send you home,” Noem said.</p>
<p>“If you wait until we interdict you and detain you and arrest you and have to deport you ourselves, you&#8217;ll never get the chance to come back,” she added.</p>
<p>The CBP Home app was created after the Trump administration ended the Biden-era CBP One entry program that allowed more than one million illegal immigrants into the country.</p>
