Meanwhile: "Trump offers illegal immigrants $1,000 to 'self-deport'" (BBC): "The scheme relies on migrants utilising the CBP Home app, which can be used to confirm that person's return to their home country...." So, part of the incentive to self-deport is that you get to go to your home country. The threat of removal to Libya (or Rwanda) is powerful.

"The Trump administration is planning to transport a group of immigrants to Libya on a U.S. military plane..."
"The nationalities of the migrants were not immediately clear.... The country is racked with conflict, and human rights groups have called conditions in its network of migrant detention centers 'horrific' and 'deplorable.' The Libya operation falls in line with the Trump administration’s effort to not only deter migrants from trying to enter the country illegally but also to send a strong message to those in the country illegally that they can be deported to countries where they could face brutal conditions.... A major transit point for Europe-bound migrants, Libya operates numerous detention facilities for refugees and migrants. Amnesty International branded those sites 'horrific' and 'a hellscape'...."

To quote Monty Burns, "Excellent."
"A major transit point for Europe-bound migrants, Libya operates numerous detention facilities for refugees and migrants."
"Refugees and migrants"? Sounds perfect. And people say Trump does stuff without thinking things out.
probably those from North Africa, Carlos Slims has the curiositity of a turtle, then again they bought the 'irate film critic' explanation about Benghazi so,
Defund all of the illegal entrant democrat party goodies.
This episode of Gutfeld relates.
Rwanda is one of those other countries that seems to have settled their internecine conflicts, but exporting them to the Congo,
…people respond to incentives…a broken record, yes but the propaganda looks as stupid as it is when the rule is applied…
the Judge SAID: "don't deport to El Salvador"
so, we send the MS13 and queer activists to Libya.
We're just doing as we're told!!
Is there some reason why Amnesty International can't transport them to their "home country" from Libya?
I don't think thats quite it,
So for all we know they’re Libyans?
“Scheme”, not “plan”. You can’t hate the Media enough
They say it is “deplorable”, well that’s half the US to most progressives, so what’s the concern?
I’m not a fan of deporting anyone to a third party country, particularly Libya. However, if the immigrant is being the problem, because they request asylum for from their home country and, in all the deportation cases discussing today, commit other felonies in the US, then off you go.
What Democrats neglect to mention about the poor deported Maryland man, he had orders to deport. A Judge said he couldn’t be deported to El Salvador, which is “the mistake” the administration made. However, he wouldn’t be in El Salvador if he deported himself, as ordered to do so, to a country of his choosing that would have him. He had excessive due process. He failed to do what the law required.
Well, the government in Libya had to be destroyed, because reasons, just ask Hillary. NATO did it. Because NATO is a peace loving, defensive only alliance. And just because Moamar got anally raped NATO's allies, doesn't mean that Putin has anything to fear from NATO. Putin is just "paranoid." NATO only does stuff like that to its enemies in self defense!
the Arab Spring was Al Queda by other means,
Apparently, these folks are being sent from the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.
Touche Howard
Howard wins this site for the week.
Nice, Howard.
They say deportations are horrible. Deterring illegal immigration is horrible. Incentivizing self-deportation? Also horrible.
With every policy introduced, the Democrats' media guard announces their passionate defense of the status quo.
Shorter Trump Administration: If you don't self-deport, you will be sent to shithole countries.
Come, come Jaq. Of course NATO had to make sure Moamar got anally raped by a bayonet. The man had caused all sorts of trouble in the French colonies on Libya's southern border. Why would Sarkozy spend all that money on having the Foreign Legion take him out when he could get the useful idiots of NATO to do it for him.
Deport them to Canada, where presumably they will be welcomed with open arms by the enlightened, humane, and generous government.
Meanwhile, Mexico's Jewish president can continue defying Trump and shipping billions in deadly fentanyl to the United States (an estimated 487,000 Americans killed so far) and the CEO of Tyson Foods can continue employing ONLY illegal aliens in the United States to run their chicken farms.
It seems like some people are above the law.
Gee why is Libya a hellhole after all that work Hilary! did there?
"So, part of the incentive to self-deport is that you get to go to your home country. The threat of removal to Libya (or Rwanda) is powerful."
Take the carrot, or get the stick.
Obama's Libya or Clinton's Rwanda. Original jurisdiction. Native returns.
door#1 or door#2 or door#3, Mr. or Mrs. Migrant?
These people were used as cannon fodder by the left, and glorified by faculty lounges as saints.
No one on the left cared how many were raped, murdered, or trafficked, as long as more kept coming in.
Biden and his friends, on both sides of the aisle worked to create this shitshow, and now are upset because Trump is trying to clean it up.
Spent my days with a woman, unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a $1,000
Going to Libya with an achin' in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and a veil over her hair.
[Verse 2]
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let 'em tell you that they're all the same.
Oh, the sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
The children of MAGA begin to awake (Watch out).
[Bridge]
Seems that the wrath of the ‘muricans
Gave a punch on the nose and it's startin' to flow
I think I might be sinkin'.
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.”
Led Zeppelin - “Going to Libya” (2025)
Moamar got anally raped
Our ambassador was also sodomized through the back... black hole... whore h/t NAACP.
Deporting all 20-30 million illegals that way could get pretty expensive. Can’t we just take them to the Rio Grande and tell them to start swimming? They did it once, they can do it again.
What the President or his Secretary of DHS or his border patrol head does or thinks about enforcing the immigration laws is irrelevant. All that matters is what our 700 district court judges think. They are the real POTUS. Everything Trump does or what's to do, has to be approved by them. Even if only one disagrees, that one judge can overrule the President.
That's the 'murican way!
“Scheme”, not “plan”. You can’t hate the Media enough
That's from the BBC. Yes, I hate their guts, but this is actually not an example of media bias.
"Scheme" in British usage actually is essentially synonymous with "plan", but perhaps more specific to governments and other organizations. It does not carry the pejorative connotation of underhanded trickery that it does in American English.
Even the titles of official UK government programs will be referred to as a "scheme" for achieving some goal. "The Nether Piddlington Social Co-housing Scheme of 2021" for example.
They use it where we might instead use "schema" to describe something in more erudite language than a mere "plan."
I’m leaving, on a jet plane. Don’t know if I’ll be back again…
We just need to get them all out before the next census so democrats can’t count their exploited labor for congressional representation anymore just like they counted their slaves.

But - look at the progress we've made! These illegal entrants are counted as full persons, not 3/5.

Don’t know what Jewish has to do with it. AFAIK she’s a communist/socialist and her connection with Judaism is limited to her name. Like Marks. A Jew? Yes. A Jew, who hates Judaism, opposes it, and hates G-d At least in Marx ‘s case. I don’t think Judaism has anything to do with her.
Howard wins, Trump wins, America wins. Still winning and loving it every day.
Well if you came from Chad or Sudan. Libya is a lot closer to home than say El Salvador.
chad was the neighbor to the south, who the Reagan administration supported against Qaddafi,
I'm glad all those exported will not have to face all the racism, bigotry and homophobia of the U.S. We should all be happy for them to be in their wonderful culture, surrounded by ethnic unity, and no more white male cops to deal with. The more we can them thrive in their culture the less guilt I feel.
I can imagine some illegal immigrant guy being tempted to take the free plane ticket and $1000 to take a vacation home to Mexico to visit Mom for a few weeks, then find his way back.
I was in the car quite a bit today - this program is being advertised heavily. I think it is a good idea.
Make Libya Great Again
thats what General Haftar is doing
I DON'T CARE. Let the Progressives cry over this. I don't care.
Self-deportation is a real thing. One of my tenants is a Lebanese guy with a questionable immigration status, and he just gave notice that he is leaving to move back to Lebanon because he is afraid of deportation.
Now we have real id for air travel. That could change the quality of life for illegals but I bet they will still let you travel by showing a utility bill if you are really illegal.
I wonder if some states will start giving real id drivers licenses to everyone.
From grok
“ Yes, some states can and do issue REAL ID-compliant cards to undocumented immigrants using foreign IDs as part of the verification process. States like California, New York, Washington, and others allow undocumented immigrants to apply for driver’s licenses or state IDs that meet REAL ID standards. These states accept foreign identification documents—such as passports, consular IDs, or birth certificates from other countries—along with proof of residency (e.g., utility bills, lease agreements) to establish identity and eligibility.
For example:
• California’s AB 60 program allows undocumented residents to obtain REAL ID-compliant licenses if they provide a valid foreign ID and proof of California residency.”
So why do we have real ids? Terrorists can get a passport from Pakistan and a utility bill and get on the plane anyway. Wow.
"Terrorists can get a passport from Pakistan and a utility bill and get on the plane anyway. Wow."
And blacks can't get IDs to vote. What a country!
Forty-nine comments and no one has mentioned what I think is driving this. Illegals routinely throw away their ID cards at the border, to make it harder to send them back home. Can't send me home if you don't know where I'm from!
I have long thought that the solution to this problem is to take (e.g.) north African looking illegals who refuse to say where they're from, put them on a plane, and fly them to Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Somalia, in that order. Tell them "You can get off at whichever stop you please, but when we get to Somalia, everybody gets off." That would be a strong incentive for all the non-Somalis (and maybe some of the Somalis!) to get off before the last stop. It looks like the administration has come up with a similar plan: tell us where you're from, and we'll send you there, and if you don't, it's Libya!
A similar plan would send black Caribbeans to several stops, ending in Haiti. The Spanish-speaking Latinos' flight would end in Venezuela. And so on. Incentives!
Poor Gaddafi--deprived of due process!

********************
When he's caught again, THAT's the guy you deport to Haiti.
I have not heard the word remittances in a long time, when are they going to tax the money these people send home at the money shops. That is a good way to incentivize working back home in your own country.
