Meghan Kelly is being honest about deportation numbers. 6 million in 4 years. NO WAY!!

Kristi Noem said last week:

Since January 2025, 2.2 million illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported and tens of thousands have used the CBP Home program.

To celebrate one year of this administration, the U.S. taxpayer is generously increasing the incentive to leave voluntarily for those in this country illegally – offering a $2,600 exit bonus.

Illegal aliens should take advantage of this gift and self-deport because if they don’t, we will find them, we will arrest them, and they will never return.

offering a $2,600 exit bonus
This is satire, yes?

Not satire and a cheap way to get them gone.

After siphoning off untold resources for an indeterminate amount of time, we want to pay illegals more money to leave?

Yeah…this is satire even if it isn’t.

Incentivize illegals at $10,000 each to self-deport

Wow

I agree, they all need to go. Re apply the correct way. My grandmother did it.

You'll be hard pressed to find those who came in and done it the right way, agreeing with what the Democrats want.

From Grok:

Secretary Noem’s claim that 2.2 million people "self-deported" is widely considered disingenuous because it relies on faulty data and statistical misinterpretation.

The Core Issues

Misapplied Statistics: The figure is largely derived from a report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), which observed a drop in the "foreign-born" population. This category includes legal residents, naturalised citizens, and green card holders, not just undocumented individuals.

Survey Limitations: The data comes from the Current Population Survey (CPS), which has a small sample size for immigrants. Experts and the Census Bureau warn that month-to-month changes in this survey often reflect sampling noise rather than actual population shifts.

Unverified Assumptions: Noem attributes the entire population drop to "self-deportation" caused by enforcement fear. However, there is no verifiable DHS data showing 2.2 million departures; internal records from mid-2025 showed only about 13,000 official self-deportations.

Ignoring Other Factors: The decline could simply reflect people being less likely to respond to government surveys due to fear, or a natural decrease in legal immigration, neither of which equals a "heckin" massive wave of people leaving the country.

Claiming such a specific, massive number without tracking actual exits is a total skill issue in data transparency.

Cut off the free stuff and most will leave.

Good luck winning an election running on that.

Hands off!
