   How many more non sequitur, anecdotal sob stories will you deploy to   
   marginalize the discussion of migrants who came looking for handouts   
   primarily and then overstayed even the giverment's ludicrous incentives?   
      
   The fact is that were induced with govt. freebies, and that lands only   
   the worst of the worst mooches.

   "This report highlights how the Biden-Harris Administration has   
   funneled tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars to services supporting   
   illegal aliens, often through left-wing nonprofit organizations, at the   
   expense of border security and public safety.   
      
   Key findings from the report include the massive expansion of   
   Alternatives to Detention (ATD) programs by the Biden-Harris Administration.   
   Taxpayer-funded programs like the Young Adult Case Management Program (YACMP)   
   and the Case Management Pilot Program (CMPP) provide a wide range of   
   taxpayer-funded services to    
   illegal aliens, including legal orientation, social services referrals, mental   
   health support, and services to assist illegal aliens in returning to their   
   home countries after being removed from the United States. Claire   
   Trickler-McNulty, the former head    
   of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of Immigration Program   
   Evaluation (OIPE), which helped develop ATD programs, admitted that ICE lacks   
   sufficient data to accurately judge the overall effectiveness of ATD. Another   
   senior ICE official    
   testified that the agency diverted resources from arresting threats to public   
   safety and national security to assist with the chaos at the southwest border   
   and facilitate illegal alien releases into the country.   
      
   The report also reveals instances where ICE contractors referred   
   illegal aliens to receive services from groups like Planned Parenthood,   
   an organization that advocates for transgender surgeries for children, and   
   another biased group that has compared Republican governors to Russian   
   President Vladimir Putin."   
      
      
   But you will continue your absurd bleeding heart tributes to a   
   migrant caravan wreckage our own leftarded politicians made for us,   
   won't you Eddy P?   
      
   You fucking treasonous asshat!

   Slave labor you mean.   
      
   Be honest for one day in your life.   
      
   And now, at long last:   
      
   AI Overview   
   The primary "incentives" the U.S. currently pays to illegal immigrants   
   are a cash bonus and paid travel assistance for those who agree to   
   voluntarily depart the country through the "Project Homecoming" program   
   managed via the CBP Home mobile application.   
      
   Cash "Exit Bonus": As of January 2026, the standard exit bonus is $2,600, paid   
   upon confirmed arrival in the home country or another country where the   
   individual has legal status. A temporary "holiday stipend" of $3,000 was   
   offered at the end of 2025. A    
   separate incentive of $2,500 has been offered to unaccompanied migrant teens   
   in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).   
   Cost-Free Travel: The U.S. government purchases a one-way flight for the   
   individual and their family members (if applicable) to their destination   
   country.   
   Forgiveness of Fines: Outstanding civil fines for "failure to depart" after a   
   prior removal order are forgiven.   
   De-prioritization for Detention: Participants are generally not prioritized   
   for detention or enforcement actions by ICE while their departure is being   
   processed.   
   Potential for Future Legal Entry: Voluntarily departing may preserve   
   the option for individuals to return to the U.S. legally in the future,   
   unlike a formal, enforced deportation which often results in a 5 to   
   10-year or lifetime ban.   
      
   +1!

   Because the wage scale favors slave labor, duh.   
      
   Everyone knows that picking and piece work is a non-starter for more   
   than seasonal labor.   
      
   Just as everyine knows you are so thick of head as to deny reality on a   
   daily basis.
