New Deportation Policy Will Save Thousands of Dollars
Have you ever wished that the government could operate more like a business when it comes to revenue and spending? Check this out: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is proposing a way for illegal aliens to self-deport.
While the proposal to offer a $1,000 stipend and a free plane ride to those who self-deport is controversial, DHS says it would save lots of tax dollars. The department says this will be 70% cheaper for American taxpayers, as it currently costs DHS, on average, over $17,000 to arrest, detain, and deport someone.
DHS told Fox News that paying for aliens to remove themselves, even with the stipend, is anticipated to cost only around $4,500 on average. This will save taxpayers thousands of dollars. More from Fox News HERE.
