(Adnkronos) – The Trump administration intends to impose very heavy fines, up to 18,000 dollars, on thousands of deported migrants, asking them to reimburse the cost of their arrest, detention, and deportation. Usa Today writes this today, adding that the Department of Homeland Security admits that it is very unlikely that these fines will ever be paid by people who have been sent back to countries like Mexico, where the average annual per capita income is 5,000 dollars.
But the measure will make it even more difficult for a legal return to the country. “Our message is clear: illegal aliens in the country illegally must leave now or face the consequences,” Homeland Security told the newspaper, which yesterday published in the Federal Register the proposal for a substantial increase in ‘reimbursements’ for deportation expenses, which are now set at 5130 dollars.
