The whole "illegal aliens being here" situation is beyond infuriating; however, they ARE here and, as such, we have to deal with them. So, the goals need to be 1) ACTUALLY getting them outta here and 2) doing it as fast and as cheaply as possible. Paying them to self-deport sucks but it absolutely makes business sense and short-term bonus amounts "should" incent more to go sooner:
Forcible deportation ~$17k-$20k + more time/effort (manpower, vehicles, equipment, administrative paperwork/bureaucracy) + more dangerous (to everyone: ICE, national guard, police, aliens and general public) + increased possibility of lawfare IF they are EVER located and deported
Self-deportation $3k + plane ticket = ~$5k + more expedient (deportee self-identifies, presents themselves for processing, deportation is certain and much faster), better optics/PR, safer, and self-deportee retains the possibility of legally coming back

I totally get the "business/ financial" portion....
But then again we'll
spend 97 million on gender studies in Pakistan
Funding for LGBTQ+ advocacy in countries like Jamaica and Uganda,
A Sesame Street-style show in Iraq,
Vegetable gardens in El Salvador,
Mushroom/pea marketing in Guatemala,
Artisanal salt production in Ecuador,
Beekeeping in Brazil.
but decide kicking illegals raping, killing, and stealing in our country as "too" expensive.
Cool. LOL
Maybe we could actually use our military to actually defend our homeland instead of them being politically tied.
This same logic, if we were actually attacked maybe we could pay them to stop lolol.
