Excerpt:
“Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a proclamation establishing Project Homecoming to encourage illegal aliens to voluntarily depart the United States.
- The proclamation offers illegal aliens a choice: leave voluntarily with Federal support and financial assistance or face strict enforcement and penalties.
- It creates a streamlined process for departure using the CBP Home app, provides government-funded flights at no cost to illegal aliens, facilitates travel for those lacking valid travel documents, and offers a concierge service at airports to assist with booking travel and claiming an exit bonus.
- The proclamation establishes an “exit bonus” as a financial incentive for illegal aliens who agree to voluntarily and permanently depart the United States.
- It launches a nationwide communications campaign to inform illegal aliens of the Project Homecoming program and of the consequences of remaining, including removal, prosecution, fines, wage garnishment, and property confiscation.
- It directs a full-scale, aggressive deportation surge, including with an additional 20,000 officers, for illegal aliens who do not depart voluntarily.”
