lol there’s fully a harebrained scheme to balance the budget on paper based on IOUs from deported immigrants then give taxcuts, and even the fictional money is going to be orders of magnitude off from what they want.

The fines stem from a 1996 law that was enforced for the first time in 2018

shall pay a civil penalty of not more than $500 to the Commissioner for each day the alien is in violation of this section.

adjusted for inflation

(14) Section 274D of the Act, penalties for failure to depart: From $973 maximum to $998 maximum, for each day the alien is in violation.

If they're deporting people, how do they plan to collect it?

I'm starting to think that Trump is doing things just because he can. Same with the tariffs, he's just picking things he has unilateral power to do without Congress.

They plan to collect it in the form of El Salvador concentration camp labor, compensated at like five cents an hour.
