Illegal Immigrants Begin Self-Deportation Due to New Trump Policies

The more uproar the left tries to stir over President Trump’s firm stance on immigration law enforcement, the better. It seems that many illegal immigrants are deciding to pack up and head back to their home countries now that the welcome mat is no longer being offered by the previous administration’s lax policies.

Just days before President Trump took office, reporter Jorge Ventura from NewsNation highlighted a growing trend: groups of migrants, termed “self-deporters,” were spotted making their way south across the border. Although the exact numbers were unclear, the frequency of these departures was on the rise. Ventura noted, “This comes as cities across the U.S. and Mexico are now bracing for the President-Elect’s deportation operation, but his hard-line messaging on those deportation efforts have some migrants panicking and some even choosing now to self-deport back to their home countries.”

Immigration attorney Roland Vazquez shared with Ventura that some of his clients, who had initially entered the U.S. during the previous administration, were now opting to return home due to fears of deportation under the new administration. “Just as recent as yesterday, they notified me that they’re going to depart the country voluntarily, and understanding that, you know, the Trump administration is going to carry through on their promises,” Vazquez explained.

Ventura also mentioned another factor driving these decisions: Mexico’s new policy of accepting non-Mexican deportees. “And it’s not just Trump’s deportation plans that are influencing these decisions,” reported Ventura. “Vazquez says it’s also that Mexico is now open to accepting non-Mexican deportees. Mexico’s move would impact Cuban and Venezuelan migrants the most, since those countries typically do not accept deportation flights from the U.S. but may from Mexico.”

One might ponder whether Mexico’s policy shift is influenced by President Trump’s tariff threats. It’s clear that those returning to their home countries were not genuine asylum seekers. They came to the U.S. not due to legitimate fear of persecution, but as opportunists exploiting the previous administration’s open-door policy. Many lied on official documents, committing fraud, a serious offense.

For those here illegally but without fraudulent activities, self-deportation offers a practical choice. It allows them the possibility of legal re-entry in the future, unlike those deported who face long bans from returning. In Florida, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd has initiated a campaign encouraging illegal residents to self-deport, underlining the sentiment with a clear message: “Southbound and Down!”

There are certainly steps that can be taken to encourage more unauthorized residents to return voluntarily. For instance, reinstating the policy that immigrants should not become public charges aligns with sensible governance. Additionally, prosecuting those who knowingly hire undocumented workers would further reinforce this stance.

Offering amnesty to those willing to self-deport is another option. Providing assistance for a smooth return journey might be more cost-effective than the expenses currently shouldered by American taxpayers for public services. The prospect of seeing a decline in illegal immigration numbers is not far-fetched. It’s simply the result of effective law enforcement and clear moral direction.
