President Donald Trump continues to take major steps and make big moves from the White House as his administration gets into its fourth month and remains fighting to enact the agenda on which he was elected, as shown by his recent proclamation pushing self-deportation on illegal aliens in America.
According to President Trump, who spoke about the order in a minute and a half video he released on Truth Social, the new executive order and proclamation, “Establishing Project Homecoming,” will offer free flights to illegals who offer to leave on their own while also punishing severely those who remain in the United States.
Describing, in the video, how what he called “the first-ever self-deportation program for illegal aliens” will work, the president said, “Any illegal alien can simply show up at an airport and receive a free flight out of our country. We have also launched a phone app called CBP Home. That’s C-B-P-H-O-M-E, where illegals can book a free flight to any foreign country. As long as it’s not here, you can go anywhere you want.”
Continuing, he described the “deporation bonus” they will receive if they self-deport, characterizing it as a temporary cost that will save Americans a great deal by encouraging the illegal aliens to leave. He said, “This deportation bonus will save American taxpayers billions and billions of dollars. What Biden did to this country can never be explained, will never, ever be accepted. Eventually, when the illegals are gone, it will save us trillions of dollars.”
Adding a stick to the aforementioned carrot, the president then noted that those who stay will face extremely harsh policies, saying, “However, if illegal aliens choose to remain in America, they’re remaining illegally, and they will face severe consequences. Illegal aliens who stay in America face punishments, including significant jail time, enormous financial penalties, confiscation of all property, garnishment of all wages, imprisonment and incarceration, and sudden deportation.”
Concluding the video, the president called on illegal aliens to book their flight before they face those tough consequences, saying, “In a place and manner solely of our discretion. So, to all illegal aliens, book your free flight right now. We want you out of America, but if you’re really good, we’re going to try and help you get back in. Thank you.” Watch him here:

Captioning the video, the president wrote, “Today, I signed an Executive Order to launch the first-ever self-deportation program. Illegal aliens who stay in America face punishments, including—sudden deportation, in a place and manner solely of our discretion. TO ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS: BOOK YOUR FREE FLIGHT RIGHT NOW!”
Justifying the big move in a statement from the White House, President Trump said, “Over the last 4 years, the United States has endured a full-scale invasion of aliens entering and remaining in the country illegally, causing a relentless onslaught of crime, vagrancy, violence, and death in countless American communities. This lawless invasion has also limited the capacity of American schools and hospitals to provide for American citizens and has diverted billions of dollars in Federal, State, and local social services from Americans in need.”
Continuing, he noted that dealing with the situation will save taxpayers huge amounts of money, saying, “The continued presence of illegal aliens in our Nation forces American taxpayers to bear a tremendous fiscal burden to support them, including through costs related to healthcare, food stamps, public housing, emergency medical services, education, and shelter, as well as the costs of crimes committed by illegal aliens. In Fiscal Year 2023 alone, these costs were estimated to exceed $150 billion in taxpayer dollars. Removal flights of illegal aliens are a necessary aspect of immigration enforcement and upholding the rule of law, but they require substantial resources and manpower.”
He then said that it is his duty to handle the situation and protect Americans, and therefore he will do so through this, saying, “Therefore, the provision of financial incentives to encourage and assist aliens illegally in the country to elect to depart from the United States has the potential to save tremendous taxpayer resources, while restoring the sovereignty of our country. As President, it is my legal obligation to exercise all tools at my disposal to end this invasion, remove the illegal-alien invaders from the United States, and protect the American people. This proclamation establishes Project Homecoming, which will present illegal aliens with a choice: either leave the United States voluntarily, with the support and financial assistance of the Federal Government, or remain and face the consequences.”
