The CBP Home app is part of a larger initiative aimed at encouraging illegal immigrants to voluntarily leave the United States
That concept never crossed the minds of anyone in the Biden Administration. They were so focused on allowing unmonitored illegals into the country that any thought about halting the invasion was never considered. So, the idea of reversing it and hatching a plan to remove those that were already here was buried even deeper.
The Trump administration had a better idea. They reprogrammed the Customs and Border Patrol One App. (CBP). The app. previously allowed migrants to schedule asylum interviews under Biden, but now enables illegal aliens to submit their intent to leave the United States voluntarily. The good news is that tens of thousands of illegal aliens have already reportedly self-deported.
In early 2025, the Federation for American Immigration Reform estimated that there were 18.6 million illegal immigrants in the United States. So self-deportation is an essential part of any plan to decrease that amount.
“As of 2025, American population growth comes almost entirely from unsustainably high levels of immigration, both legal and illegal.”
The CBP Home app is part of a larger initiative aimed at encouraging illegal immigrants to voluntarily leave the United States. The administration is now offering these individuals $1,000 to facilitate their self-deportation, while also threatening to impose fines of nearly $1,000 per day for those who refuse to leave the country.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also initiated an advertising campaign urging illegals to leave the country. The advertisement highlighted violent criminals apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including a previously deported MS-13 murder suspect captured at Colony Ridge. In the ad, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem encouraged undocumented immigrants to:
“Do what’s right: leave now.”
