Stephen Miller on Migrant Stipends and Border Security

Mexican Government's Role in Immigration

• 🇲🇽 The Mexican government has increased efforts regarding illegal immigration due to President Trump's leadership, but it's still insufficient.
• ⚠️ More is expected from Mexico, particularly concerning the fentanyl threat.

Stipends for Self-Deporting Migrants

• 💰 President Trump previously suggested offering stipends to migrants who leave the country voluntarily.
• 💸 This initiative is projected to save hundreds of billions of dollars for taxpayers.
• 💡 Providing a stipend of $1,000-$3,000 to an illegal immigrant to leave saves taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars compared to the lifetime cost of over $1 million per family.
• ⚖️ This is also more cost-effective than the government having to physically arrest and deport individuals.

Consequences for Remaining Illegally

• 🚫 If migrants choose to stay unlawfully, they will face a daily fine of $1,000 for each day past their removal order, as per a law passed by Congress.
• 🚨 The speaker notes that the media suggests ignoring such laws, but Congress has been clear on enforcement.
• 👮 Consequences for remaining illegally include arrest for illegal work, document theft, failure to register, evading removal, and potential deportation with confiscation of all assets and income.
• ✅ Alternatively, migrants can choose to book a free flight, receive a check, and leave on their own terms with their possessions.
