Andrew Arthur, a law and policy fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies and a former immigration judge, wrote in the New York Post on Sunday that an estimated 1 million illegal aliens have self-deported since President Trump’s second term began. 

Arthur pointed out that the Trump administration is quietly running a “self-deportation” campaign through what was formerly known as the CBP One app under Biden, now rebranded as “CBP Home,” which allows illegals to signal their intent to exit the country. Those who self-deport can receive a $1,000 stipend, saving taxpayers the $17,000 cost of forced removal.

By the numbers, Arthur cited…One way to track the program is by checking employment numbers. One financial whiz cited by the Wall Street Journal calculated a decline in the immigrant population of 773,000 in the first four months of Trump II.

The Washington Post claims “a million foreign-born workers have exited the workforce since March.” The Post frames this as “a sign of the weakening labor supply.” Yet the paper also notes, “Average hourly wages accelerated, rising by 0.4 percent over the month, to $36.24 in May, as earnings continue to beat inflation in a boost to workers’ spending power.”

“DHS can’t arrest and deport 15.4 million illegal aliens, but if it simply enforces the law, many aliens will get the message and leave on their own — as hundreds of thousands apparently already have,” Arthur said. 

He noted that Trump’s self-deportation program echoes past success stories, such as Operation Wetback under Eisenhower. 

Meanwhile, the illegal alien party in America is coming to an end as the protected status for a million migrants is being terminated. 

In April, around 350,000 Venezuelans lost their Temporary Protected Status in the country and were told to self-deport.

Many more TPS terminations are scheduled in the months ahead. 

The latest from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is that forced deportations of illegals are averaging around 3,000 per day, which would put the agency on track for over one million deportations per year.
