DHS will buy plane tickets for some people who want to "self-deport" and give them $1,000 once they depart. DHS lies & says people can come back legally. (www.dhs.gov)

See, this is what the Nazis did wrong.

Hitler's regime just lacked the fresh ideas and creativity that America gives to fascism. In America you are given the freedom to shoot yourself in the head, this is something that you couldn't have dreamed of in Nazi Germany.

the Nazis did the “self-deport” bit too for a few years with the Haavara agreement.

Well America served as a big inspiration for the Nazis so it makes sense they would continue to innovate in fascism.

Dialectics means we inspired the Nazis who in turn inspired us

Cross the border, get $1000 and travel expenses.
Yeah, surely this will result in fewer people coming into your country.

The cruelty is the point. Even if people did this just to try to send $1000 back to their families, they're probably going to El Salvador for the rest of their lives, assuming the outright murder hasn't started yet

bull. fucking. shit. they're detaining people literally trying to leave, with valid paperwork. surrendering yourself to them even with an intention to leave does not mean they're going to let you or release you where they should

I'll take 1k to get deported to someplace. You think china would take me in despite my lack of language skills or any real claim to a legitimate reason to be in china?
