The federal government will facilitate and pay for the self-deportation of those who have entered the country illegally, while operations will continue to target gang members and violent criminals, President Donald Trump told Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy in an interview filmed at the White House that aired on April 15.
The president said government-provided stipends, including plane tickets and money, could help incentivize illegal aliens to leave the country and pursue legal status.
We’re going to make it comfortable for people, and we’re going to work with those people to come back into our country legally,” Trump said during the interview. “And then … if they’re good, if we want them back in, we’re going to work with them to get them back in as quickly as we can.”
So they will get paid to leave, then they turn right around and get an expedited “legal” return flight back to America.
This is a policy known in some circles as “touchback amnesty,” and it infuriates border hawks like William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC).
Gheen says this amounts to smoke and mirrors being used to hide what is really a policy of amnesty. That word dreaded by all MAGA patriots, AMNESTY, is now the official policy of the Trump administration.
ALIPAC issued an email alert Tuesday that sounded alarm bells and suggested that maybe the man they championed for the White House really isn’t who they thought he was. The alert used not only the dreaded “A” word (amnesty) but the “G” word (globalist) as well. Using the A word and the G word in the same sentence to decribe a Trump policy is no small thing. It’s quite astonishing and signals Trump making a major break with his base.
Here’s a passage from the ALIPAC release:
“Americans For Legal Immigration PAC is launching a pressure campaign to oppose President Trump’s globalist plan to bring illegals that self-deport back into America through a Touchback Amnesty plan that was defeated in 2007 when Mike Huckabee proposed the same plan, dubbed Shamnesty by illegal immigration opponents.”

The alert goes on to warn the Trump administration that “a touch-back Amnesty will anger Trump’s base voters, weaken his second Presidency, encourage illegals, and undermine efforts to secure borders and conduct mass deportations. ”ALIPAC ended its email alert with this stern reminder from Gheen:
“Nobody voted for Trump to give illegals Touchback Amnesty and play a Shamnesty trick where illegals leave and come right back into America ‘legally.’ Current law requires illegals to leave America and be prohibited from returning for ten years and for the employers of illegals to be fined, not given Amnesty. We’ve seen and defeated this kind of Amnesty attempt before in 2007.”
ALIPAC said it opposes Amnesty for both illegals and employers that hire them and calls on the Trump administration to impose fines on businesses that employ illegal workers instead of accommodating them.
President Trump did not provide further details about how much money illegal immigrants could receive for flights or how to apply for such benefits.
The president also announced a plan to work with some industries, including hospitality and agriculture, to help business owners offset the impacts of mass deportations. He said:
We’re making it so that if a farmer can give recommendations to people, we’re going to be very soothing. They’re sort of responsible, and we’re going to have the farmer take responsibility. But you know, ultimately, at some point, we want the people to go out, come back as legal.”

  1. Why is this formatted weird? If you copied it from somewhere, you’ll have to “reconvert” it to ths blog’s format rules…

  2. This reminds me of Carter’s amnesty program for VietNam draft dodgers. You can come back now and we’ll utilize all that experience you got in the Great White North to get a better paying job than all those dumb vets that managed to come back alive.

  3. So… We paid for Biden to ship these shitbirds all over our country. We paid for whatever “benefits” they stole. We’re paying to deport them. Then we’re gonna pay to take them back in… …Only in what used to be America…

  4. Trump is tight with former Gang of Eight hack, Lindsey Graham and another Gang of Eight alumni, Marco Rubio who was only brought into the gang to be the Hispanic mascot and now for some reason is Trump’s SoS. Don’t forget, Trump just endorsed Graham (for the second time) just a couple of weeks ago.

    Saw this headline earlier: “Orthodox rabbis call on Trump admin. to restore USAID funding.”

    And this one: “USAID funding cuts have ‘massive’ impact on Irish NGOs”

    The Rabbis are demanding to our pockets & the Irish are giving our money to 3rd world shitholes. Is the US funding the entire world? Sure seems like it.

    Watch for a “new & improved” USAID to return… just like the illegals.

  5. Horse hockey. Everything’s got to be a goddamn conspiracy. Maybe, just once, think like a businessman. Cokehead Marion Barry did this in DC and the population of Maryland grew exponentially while DC cleaned out the worst of the worst (for a while anyway). Think about it. There’s no way the federal government is going to get 20 million illegals out of the country. Best they’ll pull off is 2-4 million of the worst; if we’re lucky. If he can get another 4-6 million illegals to take this offer to leave, it’s worth it both in its efficiency and cost efficiency. And it undercuts the democrats at the knees.
