Gas Prices Plummet, DHS Offers Cash to Leave: Trump’s Double Holiday Surprise · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: What do you think about the Department of Home in
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Security offering illegal immigrants a three thousand dollars holiday stipend
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: for self deportation.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Because here's what we've found out.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: The federal government is offering a three thousand dollars holiday stipend.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: They're calling it to encourage illegal immigrants to self deport
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: over Christmas. The small expense, they say, is far less
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in the cost of chasing and deporting migrants, and it
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: comes amid growing economic pressure on migrants who are losing
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: jobs and housing, amid President Trump's enforcement of the nation's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: immigration laws that are very popular right now. Quote, during
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the Christmas season, the US taxpayer is so generously tripling
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the incentive to leave voluntarily for those in this country illegally,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: offering a three thousand dollars exit bonus, but just until
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. That is what the Homeland
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Security Secretary Christy Nomes said, saying, quote, illegal aliens should
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: take advantage of the gift and self deport because if
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: they don't, we will find them, we will arrest them,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and they will never return.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Now here's the cool part.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Since January of this year, one point nine million illegal
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: aliens have voluntarily self deported. Tens of thousands have used
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the CBP Home program. The agency also has put out
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the statement added this self deportations through the CBP Home
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: app is the best gift that an illegal alien can
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: give themselves and their families this holiday season.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It's a fast, free and easy process. Just download the app, fill.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Out your information, and DHS will take care of the rest,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: including arranging payment for your travel back home. Those are
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: illegal aliens who take advantage of this, they say special
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: offer today, have only one alternative. They'll be arrested, deported,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and they will never be able to return to the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: United States of America. Now, reduced a number of migrants
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: will help raise American wages and also is reducing the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: price of homes and rent and encouraged sidelined Americans to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: now seek jobs. It also forced US government immediate elite
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to shift their focus from the concerns of migrants and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: business groups to the concerns of ordinary Americans who are
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: facing real crime, discrimination, and poverty.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: There is a.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Ton of evidence, by the way and countless anecdotes that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: many migrants are self deporting, but no firm data on
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: exactly how many could be gone. The government is now
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: saying it's about one point nine to two million. I'll
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: give you another example of this. Thousands of Haitians and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: other migrants in the United States of America have crossed
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the border into Canada. The Canadian Border Agency Services Agency
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: says they processed officially about thirty two thousand asylum claims
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: through November. That is, they say a forty two percent
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: decline from the same period last year. Now, according to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a December twenty two report in the Detroit Press, they
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: say they're seeing more and more of this.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: It's actually happening now.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It's also interesting because some illegal immigrants are actually filming themselves,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: deporting themselves, avoiding being picked up by ice. They make
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: us feel unwelcome. Here is how one illegal immigrant put
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it so. Now, he says, I'm going home. He shot
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a video at the airport. I would say, good. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: don't want you to feel welcome here if you're coming
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in and breaking into this country. I do want you
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to feel welcome here if you come into this country
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the legal in.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: The right way now.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: In December, this illegal immigrant described early in December the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: self deportation of a Columbia family after the father had
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: been deported from Tucson, Arizona. The mother of the four
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: children previously told the local news that self deportation was
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the best decision for her family after her husband was
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: deported in January.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: On Tuesday, the Santos go ahead.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Santos remained firm in her decision to do this, which
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: is pretty cool, though bittersweet tears as she described it,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: because well, I mean, America is awesome.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I think we can all agree on that.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: She expressed her gratitude, saying, quote, I don't have the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: words to express just how grateful I am. I want
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to thank all the people that we met while we
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: stayed here. So self deportation and the US Customs Immigration
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Enforcement actually put out the local Channel thirteen news video
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and here's what part of it sounded like.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Listen carefully.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: For three years, she's been raising her children on her
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: own since January, after her husband was deported. I think
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: as a vice, she told me she wanted to stay
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: in the country longer and have better education for her kids.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Go Asantos says ICE agents contacted her over the phone
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and gave her an option to either be detained or
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: self deport She believes leaving is the best choice for
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: her family.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: OK.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: She says, I don't want my kids to see someone
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: come into the house with a gun or have them
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: or her be handcuffed. Go Asanto's plans to make the
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: most of her last few days she has here. She
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: still says she has plenty to be grateful for. She's
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: thankful to God for her kids and family. I asked
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: her what she'll miss most about being here in the US.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: The people, She tells me. The people.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You listen to that story and I just say, good, Like,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: this is exactly what we need.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: We need more of.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: This operation Overlord, the D Day Beaches. You and I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: share a passion for history, so I hope you'll join
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: me next spring on the D Day Beaches in Normandy.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: That's right, the invasion that sealed Hitler's doom, O Maha
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and Utah. You're gonna discover the sacred patch of sand
• 6:06

  Speaker 1: Dial pound two fifty say the keyword Conservative Tours. You'll
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: have the option to receive a one time auto dialed
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: text message from my heart. Media liberals freaking out at
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the idea of giving someone three thousand dollars a holiday
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: stipend for self deportation. The question, all of what should
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: be asking is why would you not be in favor
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of that. Democrats claim they're all about right humanity. They
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that everyone's happy and safe and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: well taken care of. You know that the party of
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: actually putting children in cages that was under the Obama administration.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Now treating people like a human being, which is what
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Democrats have been obsessed with. Are again angry that we're saying,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: if you're willing to self deport we will give you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: three thousand dollars holidays stipend. Now this is running through
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. It's a brilliant Trump policy,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and it's also being sold as a small expense is
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: far less than the cost of chasing and deporting an
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrant, and it comes amid the growing pressure of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the economic issues that migrants illegal immigrants have put on
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: this country, taking jobs away from American citizens, raising the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: cost of rent for American citizens, and raising the cost
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of home pricing for American citizens. The President said it
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: this way during the Christmas season. The US taxpayer is
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: so generously tripling the incentive to leave voluntarily for those
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in the country illegally, offering a three thousand dollars exit bonus.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Now you only have to the end of the year.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Chrissy Nome's saying illegal aliens should take advantage of the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: gift and self deport because if they don't, we will
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: find them, we will.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Arrest them, and they will never return.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Now, I think this is like one of the most
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: humanitarian things I have ever heard, right, I think this
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: is amazing. There was a man that even filmed himself
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: his deporting video at the airport to avoid being picked
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: up by ice.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: He said that he.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Doesn't feel welcome here anymore as an illegal immigrant. Now
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: he's parked his car, he's got his pillow around his neck,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and he's speaking into TikTok.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: The reason why I play this is because this, to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: me is like the best video that illegal immigrant could
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: ever put out. Why One, they're basically admitting defeat. Two
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: they're telling other illegal immigrants don't come here, it's not
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: worth it. Right, the chance of you getting picked up
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: are very high. He's doing a PSA that is telling
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants to stop coming into this country. That is
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: again another example of just how incredible this is. Ice
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: putting out this Channel thirteen video. Self deported or be deported?
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The choice is yours, as they described it as a mother,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a Columbian mother is self deporting with her kids next
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: week after her husband had already been deported. And again
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: this is great news because it's a walking billboard. You
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: had an illegal from Guatemala say she may have to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: move home with her kids since her husband got to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: reported while waiting to work, waiting for work outside of
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a home depot, another example of self deportations. Again part
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: of the story. Listen, this mother wants to be known
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: as Mirabelle. She's not sure how much longer her six
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: year old will still be playing with these kids here
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: at Esperanza elementary school. Mirabelle is undocumented and now parenting
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: on her own after her husband was detained while he
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: looked for work outside of home depot.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: He's since been deported back to Guatemala. It's affecting their children,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: marabel says as she speaks through the tears. The children
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: have fear that makes them not want to go out
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: on the street. But their one year old daughter was
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: born in the US, and so was their six year
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: old who's now a first grader here right now, the
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: district's enrollment stands that just over four hundred and nine
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: thousand students. That's down four percent from last year, two
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: percent more than what was projected.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: The projection for this year was off by a significant margin,
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: and that margin is absolutely associated with federal immigration actions
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: in our community.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: For every single student, LAUS brings in about twenty thousand
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: dollars in state and federal funds used to pay for
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: a variety programs many students use and benefit from.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: The loss is as high as one hundred and forty
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: million dollars for one single year. If that continues then
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: year after year, then we're talking about a significant impact
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: of the budget.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: When you tell your daughter that you may have to
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: pull her out of the school and move her to Guatemala.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: What does she tell you that she doesn't want to leave,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Marabel says, but her daughter may have no choice. Marabell
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: can't afford to keep living in La much longer, so
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Esperanza is likely to lose one more student very soon.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Again, this report I just played for you is exactly
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the best public relations campaign the Trump administration could have
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: ever asked for. You can leave now. We will give
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you a three thousand dollars bonus. You can have a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: chance to come back legally and do it the right way.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: And if you don't, we will hunt you down. We
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: will find you, and you will be gone now. The
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: departure of economic migrants is also pressuring uncaring elites in
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the business. They say, politics and government to help discarded
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Americans return to work, health, and prosperity, this new report says, which.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Again makes me laugh. You have the crazies out there.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: One of them said, quote, I feel like the system
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: isn't broken, it's working against us. A young American with
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: ten dollars left, shares a home with four roommates, lives
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: off granola bars, drives a car. She can't afford to
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: fix and watches, rent bills, and basic necessities wiped out
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of every paycheck. Why, Well, guess what When you are
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: supporting people that are allowing for illegal immigrants to come
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: into this country and take your jobs and drive up
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the price of housing and rent, this is what you get,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: which goes back to the question that I ask everyone,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: is it the best money we can spend? And showing
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: compassion for illegal immigrants at the same time humanizing them.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Democrats have said that Republicans will never do by giving
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: them three thousand.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Dollars to self deport.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: This is, by the way, I believe a incentive based program.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump understands incentive based programs and how powerful they
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: can be, while also warning you that if you don't
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: take this sweetheart deal, you've broken our laws and we're
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: willing to fly you home and give you a bonus.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: To do it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: But if you don't do it right, this is important.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: If you don't do it, what's gonna happen. Well, Unfortunately,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: we're gonna hunt you down, We're gonna find you, We're
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: gonna come after you, and you are going to lose.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: You will be deported and never allowed back in that
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: right there is exactly I mean, exactly what I voted for.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And I was talking to some ICE agents, gosh, forty
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: eight hours ago and when this was becoming a thing,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, explain to me why
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I should be in favor of this or against it,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: And they all unanimously said, you don't understand the amount
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: of time resources, court appearances, documentation, fingerprinting, processing, even more paperwork.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Then lawyers get involved.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: If if we catch someone at the home depot parking lot,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the two thousand or three thousand dollars is a steal
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: compared to what we pay while we hold them while
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: we go through the process, and then we deport them.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It is also when we deport them, right, we're paying
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: for that deportation flight. This is cheaper than that is
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: they describe it. And they said, if you could take
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: tomorrow a million people and give them all three thousand dollars,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: it would be so much cheaper than what it would
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: cost to deport a million people. And ultimately, if you're
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: deporting these people, and then the people who are taking
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: their place are keeping their money in America in our
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: systems as sending the majority of it back home. Via
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Western Union to whatever country they came from, because the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: majority of legal immigrants do not keep their money in
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: this country. That's also, I think something really important that
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: people need to understand. And so that's another part of
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the frustrating aspect of this. People are very, very very frustrated.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: By this. Right.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: They're frustrated that the math is just so much cheaper
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: if we do it this way. Are you rewarding bad behavior?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Is how I asked the question. Well, but aren't we
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: rewarding They're like, look, if this is a revolving door,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: this would be a bad proposition, right, Like, we wouldn't
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: advocate for this three thousand under the Biden administration because
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of people just go back to see their family.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: You're paying for their trip back, and then they're coming, right,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: they're seeing right back in America. Well, we've locked down
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the border, like the illegal immigrants are not coming across
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the border. We have locked it down because of the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: leadership of Donald Trump. So they described it as now
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: it's worth it to do it because you're getting a
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: great bang for your buck. The other part is you're
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: only doing this through the end of the year. It's
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: also they said a psychological thing. Those who go to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the front of the line and the good graces to
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: leave early are the.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Ones that we're willing to look at when we come back.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, So like when we're going through the process of
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: seeing who may get to come into this country, if
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you wait too long, not only do you lose the instead.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Of the three grand, it drops back down to a
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: one thousand.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: But at some point you're going to get caught, as
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Christian I'm described it, and we've seen a lot of
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: people get caught and then you get nothing. So there
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: is as there's a lot here, you understand, like there's
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: an awful lot of X factors here, And I think
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that's the important part when you're dealing with deportation and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you're dealing with time, paperwork, and part of this is
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: it frees up for us to go after the hard
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: criminals and the worst among us. If we have millions
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of people that are self deporting who may not be
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the hard criminals, that's another like massive perk. This is
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the fastest way to get people out. And then the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: dollars they were making are now going to Americans, and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: those dollars are staying in America in our economy, Like
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: three thousand to get rid of someone who's taking up
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: a home or an apartment and their money is not
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: staying in America's economy is a no brainer. It's not
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: just a tax dollars, it's the cash. The number one
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: stimulus of Mexico's economy has been illegal immigrants sending money
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: back to Mexico. It is outpaced oil production. So like,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: think about that. If you can have that amount of
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: money stay in America, what does that do for our economy?
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Because the majority of legal immigrants that stay here, they
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: do not keep all their money here. They send it home.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: It's a problem, man, Like, it's a huge problem. And
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I hate that we're having to spend any money at all,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: but I know that we have to spend money to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: get rid of illegal immigrants, and if we're going out
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: there to track them down, then it's a really.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Big problem and it costs a lot to do it.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Incentivizing people to self support with a three thousand dollars bonus,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I would say why not? Like this is if we
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: can get rid of a couple hundred thousand illegal immigrants
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: by paying them three grand to get out of here, Like.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: That's just money. Well spent.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: It's a lot cheaper than going after them, having to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: find them, dealing with all the deportations like it is
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: that that is a hard thing to do. It takes money,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: It takes and everybody knows it. It's a lot of cash.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: It's described as a three thousand dollars exit bonus right.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: It's part of the Voluntary self Deportation program references Project Homecoming.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Now here's the eligibility requirements. Because I asked for this,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go through them. So you understand, only
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: undocumented immigrants people in the US without lawful immigration setus
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: are eligible. So that being illegal immigration, you have to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: have registration through the Department hind Security app. Individuals much
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: register and arrange their departure using the Home the Home
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: smartphone app.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: There's a depart by deadline.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: The bonus would apply only at the individual voluntarily exits
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the country by December thirty first, so you got to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: go fast. The free travel provided they say the DHS
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: will arrange to pay for transportation flight for the person's
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: home country as part of the offer as well.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Then there are waivers of fines and penalties. So this
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: is the incentivizing part. Okay.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Participants quote may be eligible for forgiveness of certain civil
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: fines or penalties tied to their unlawful presence if they
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: voluntarily depart using the program. The payment of the fight
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: are usually processed after departure is completed, all right, so
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: there's a check and balance there with that. Some previous
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: participants criticize delays or problems with receiving earlier versions of
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the payments because they want the money immediately, Like instagrat
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: equation are upfront, They're not doing this now. The consequences
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: are the incentive as well. DHS has said those who
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: do not leave voluntarily could face enforcement actions, including arrest
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and formal deportation under immigration laws. They say those forcibly
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: removed three deportation typically face longer bans on re entry
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: than people who leave voluntarily. And they said this three
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars bonus is not a general everyone gets three
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: thousand to leave the country. It's temporary for the illegal
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: immigrants to voluntarily exit. And they say it's tied to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: self deportations. So if you're willing to do it yourself,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: do it now, get out of the country by the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: end of the month, and bam, you get it, and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: they said, look, if you want to walk or talk
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: through this, you can literally go on the CBP app
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: about the self deportation process and go step by step
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: like they're trying to make this as easy as possible
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: to leave, but you must leave by the end of
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the year. That's part of where they're like, let's see
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: how many we can get as fast as we can
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I've got one big, great piece of news for you,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and that is gas prices are coming down fast. Donald Trump,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: talking about gas prices a few days ago, had this
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: We're now at about two dollars and fifty cents a gallon.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: We're going to be I think at two dollars a gallon.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: We could even crack that at some point. I'd love
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: to do it, and we could do it more easily
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: if we weren't building up the strategic national reserves, which
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: Biden emptied out before the election so they could try elected,
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: meaning she he started it, then he got thrown out
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: of the race, then she took over and she kept
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: it going, and they emptied out these strategic national resists,
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: which are really meant for something else. They're not meant
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: to keep people happy with a gasoline place. They're meant
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: for war, They're meant for problems, big problems. He emptied
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: it out and then she continued it during the process
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: of trying to get elected. Didn't work out too well
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: for him, and they virtually brought it down to the
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: lowest level I believe in history. And it didn't have
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: much of an impact because the prices were very high.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: But our price is now for energy, but for gasoline
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: or really low electricities coming down. And when that comes down,
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: everything comes down.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: When that goes down, everything comes down. He's right. There
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: are people that are saying the president isn't doing enough.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with you?
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: State by state? Right now, I'll give you out of
