More than 100,000 illegals have been mailed huge fines by the Trump Administration for being in America illegally
“A Michigan immigrant recently opened his mailbox and learned the federal government was fining him $579,838. He’s one of more than a hundred thousand people who’s gotten one of these new fines under the Trump administration”
The goal of issuing these fines is to encourage self deportation or face financial ruin
The civil penalties are being issued against people who have deportation orders, but remained in the United States
“They’ve been legal since 1996, but they were rarely used until President Donald Trump took office again. Under the law, the federal government can charge someone $998 dollars for every day they stayed in the country after an immigration judge ordered them removed. They max out at $1.8 million dollars”
The federal government says if someone leaves on their own, the fines will be erased
In addition to having their fines waived they will also get a free flight and a $2,600 check as an exit bonus
If you’re an illegal this is your sign to self deport
If the person accumulates these fines and doesn’t self deport. When they’re caught by ICE if they ever went to come back into America these civil penalties will need to be paid. Meaning it’ll be basically impossible to pay these off and come back
