This is a trap. They won't pay.

I'm sure that's in the roadmap. At some point it's going to be "Love it - or leave it!".
No way. They don’t want to miss out on the couple grand it costs to renounce your US citizenship
Yep, everyone ready to forgo citizenship until it cost $2k.
If you’re actually serious, and if you fall into the LGBTQ+ umbrella, you may be able to come to Canada as a refugee.
I’m not sure if the USA qualifies yet, but I read they’re working on it. That may be in effect already, I’m not sure.
There's been I believe one trans person and one NB person so far who have claimed refugee status here..
Canada is lovely ❤️
The darker your skincolor, the higher the fuckoff bonus. Money for Melanin (TM)
/s of course. For me, at least. Sigh.
Its for undocumented people right? How will they find out your identity if you dont give it to them?
We pinky promise to follow through on being nice and not detaining/disappearing you.
The clue is: "you may be eglible". Turn yourself in, and all you will get is a free flight if you are lucky. To somewhere.
Is there any way to game this and make bank somehow?
They are not going to give anyone any money. As soon as people turn up to cash in they are going to be sent straight to Alligator Auschwitz.
I assume if you were planning to leave anyway. It helps their numbers. It helps you. Like, maybe 20 years ago, financial immigration was one way. Nowadays the qualified immigrants just go elsewhere, lol. The USA is not that special and is actively hostile.
If you're in that position, it's honestly beneficial to do so. I wish I had such an opportunity to leave this country.
Sounds like a good way to have the ICE goonsquad show up at your house at 3 am. God damn I hate this country
I'm a citizen but my partner and I departed for another country, how do I claim my free flight and $2000
What happens if a lot of natural born american citizens flood the system by reporting 'themselves'?
They get deported I'd assume.
What about I fill it for ted cruz?
Now when I visit the US I only need to buy the inbound flight for me and my family. And I get $4000 spending money.
This will really boost tourism.
I guess that could be an alright deal if you somehow know you were being kicked out anyway
Everyone commenting that they wont pay or its all a trap isnt thinking about the optics and expense. Im not SAYING that they are wrong, or that the whole initiative ISNT evil (it is) but paying Ice agents, vehicles, camps, etc. All costs money (more than you would think) and makes you look like assholes (which they are). People deciding to pack up and leave on their own, withdrawing their savings selling their vehicles and leaving willingly on a plane costs less than the whole track down, round up, detain and deporting process and is considerably less bad for the optics.
My grandparents fled germany in the 30s back when being Jewish was becoming dangerous but they were still content for you to just GTFO. I wouldnt be surprised if it was legit... Still fucking wrong tho.
In that case, what's ICE planning on using their new, bigger-than-most-militarys' budget for? I'm not implying you're wrong, because you do make some good points, but I want to remind everyone of the obscene amount of money they have.
The vast majority who wont take them up on it.
If the per capita cost of deporting someone against their will is $10,000 and the cost of deporting someone consentually is $10,000 its still a win. Its just less work, every person who leaves voluntarily frees up the snatch teams to go after someone who doesnt.
It could be legit and a peaceful way to go but so far that's not how this administration has operated. So it still could be legit but what a massive risk that is to take.
What are the odds they just use this to find people to arrest and throw in concentration camps?

Shit man, maybe I should have done that when I left the UK. I could have gotten them to fucking pay me on top of getting away from a shithole
