US President Donald Trump announced plans to provide money and a paid ticket to illegal migrants who want to voluntarily leave the country. The head of the White House reported this on the American television channel Fox News.
Trump noted that at present the American authorities continue to deport “bad” migrants from the country, and also work on the program for illegal migrants who want to leave the country.
According to the head of the White House, the new migration initiative provides for the provision of financial assistance and a plane ticket.
“If they behave well, and also express the desire to return, we will make joint efforts to return them as soon as possible,” he said.
During his election campaign, Trump announced plans to deport “millions of migrants.” In turn, US Vice President James David Wence stated that the US authorities could start with 1 million migrants.
Donald Trump, in the framework of the fight against illegal immigration, has already applied the law of 1798 (“Act on Foreign Enemies”) to accelerate the deportation of migrants associated with “foreign terrorist organizations.” Previously, this law was used only during the war.
