How much does it cost the US to forcibly deport someone? 

Could they just pay that as an incentive for people to self deport, or does that create a perverse incentive (sneak in, collect payment on exit)?

To be clear I’m not expressing support for deportation. I’m moreso approaching this from the starting point where you have a government intent on deportation, and thinking about how to do that with less suffering. 

That said, I do think countries should be able to defend their borders and enforce their desired immigration policies. How they should handle people already in country illegally, I’m not sure, though the recent actions are callous and troubling.

International laws atriums asylum seeking should definitely be respected. Also, this is a more complete expression of my position:

Many of the people being forcibly deported now have family, including kids, that are US citizens that wouldn't be welcome or safe in their country of origin. Those people aren't going to self deport.

Migrants in the US (for the most part) aren't here just for fun. They were often well educated professionals in a country being torn apart by political violence, and they risked everything to start over somewhere safe for their family.

ah, got it, well, this is not the same, my bad 😅

well, not sure that they want to leave voluntarily even with a paid travel or even interact with the administration, the may choose to move to another state instead or something, how to ensure they leave without spending more money is hard

and, that said deporting people is a very wrong behaviour at our stage of development, tho, not gonna end soon

From your responses I think you may  think that I’m suggesting paying a bounty to deport others? 

I only mean paying someone to voluntarily leave of their own choosing. I think that is less coercive and violent than the approach currently being taken.

this is called fascism (or paramilitarism)

 mussolini had the black jackets for that

An interesting thought but realistically it projects way too much competence and creativity on the people pushing for deportations

I think Trump offered to pay people who self-report being an illegal alien

Why not put that money in integrating immigrants like create new jobs / housing... that would boost the economy and counter act decreasing birth rates in the US. 

I think the USA is big enough... It would just need some smart guys organizing the whole thing.
