WASHINGTON.- The self -exporting campaign promoted by the Republican Administration of Donald Trump It seems to work, with the decision of thousands of illegal immigrants to use the application provided by the Office of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to manage the United States output.
More than 5,000 irregular immigrants They would have chosen to self -transport during the last month through the CBP Home app, according to figures from the National Security Department (DHS), to which he had access Fox News Digital.
Self -exportations occur in the midst of the hard immigration policy of President Trump, which has intensified in recent days with Messages encouraging foreigners to voluntarily come out of the US territory.
Fines for those who do not self -destitute
This week, the Trump administration also announced severe fines for illegal immigrants who have deportation order and do not leave the country.
Foreigners would be punishable by a 1996 law applied for the first time in 2018, during the first Trump governmentwhich now plans to apply retroactive sanctions to irregular immigrants for a maximum period of five years, according to a senior official of the New White House Administration to the news agency Reuterscited by Fox News.
These sanctions could result in fines of more than one million dollars for those immigrants who do not self -destitute in five years. The government could also confiscate properties of undocumented foreigners who do not pay the sanction.
“Self -export is safe (…) Go in your own terms by choosing your exit flight “, read in a brochure to which you got access Fox News Digitalin which the “benefits” of self -exporting through the “CBP Home” app and the “consequences” for those who do not meet the process are shown.
The brochure warns USA It will impose a fine of $ 998 per day to irregular immigrants who have received a final deportation order if they do not leave the country. In addition, it announces fines of $ 1,000 to $ 5,000 to those who do not self -support after stating that they would.
Credible threat
The senior legal advisor of AMERICA FirstJames Rogers, indicated that self -exporting is working within the migrant population due to the “credible threat of application of the law.”
“Immigration laws impose severe sanctions on foreigners who reside illegally in the country. The only reason there is a large population of illegal immigrants in the US is because The previous administrations have not applied these laws approved by Congress (…) Everyone knows, including foreigners who have been living here illegally. “Rogers said.
In his opinion, the current trend of self -exporting of undocumented foreigners, which exceeds 5,000 self -exportations, shows that “even The simple credible threat of the application of the law can be sufficient so that many illegal immigrants comply with our laws and abandon the country. “
Trump adds to the campaign
The Republican president joined the messages of messages that encourage audepportation, with a video posted on social networks last month, in which he claimed that those who voluntarily self -process “could have the opportunity to return legally in the future.”
He also noted that those who insist on staying in the US irregularly “will be found, deported and will never be admitted to the US.”
The immigration expert suggested illegal immigrants to follow Trump’s advice. “It would be prudent for them to do so, because going on their own will be much better for them than the numerous sanctions they will face if they continue here violating the laws of our nation, now that we have an administration willing to enforce the law,” he emphasized.
