The word is out—and apparently, it’s been translated into Español.
With Trump’s return looming on the horizon, illegal immigrants are beating the clock and self-deporting. You heard that right, folks—these “illegal banditos” are packing up their taxpayer-funded loot and skedaddling from “sanctuary cities” before Trump’s federal immigration agents can put them on Space-X and launch them back to Mexico.
According to a NewsNation report, immigration attorney Rolando Vasquez says the exodus is fueled by Trump’s promise of border accountability and Mexico’s updated legislation. Apparently, Mexico has now decided they’ll play babysitter to deportees from places like Cuba and Venezuela—countries that would rather ghost the U.S. than take their own people back.
When the Gravy Train Stops, So Do the Free Flights
What a difference a day (or administration) makes. Under Biden, these illegals weren’t self-deporting—they were self-upgrading. Free flights, courtesy of Uncle Joe, bypassing TSA pat-downs that the rest of us endure. Heck, if you’re a VIP (Very Illegal Person), you might even score a ride on a private jet and a stay in a some very nice hotels. All this in cities where actual taxpayers can’t even afford studio apartments.
It’s not just the travel perks that have been enraging American citizens. Let’s talk about the steady stream of illegals receiving government benefits that would make even lifelong taxpayers raise an eyebrow. Reports have surfaced of migrants being handed SNAP cards loaded with thousands of dollars. That’s right—not a couple hundred bucks for groceries, but cards so flush with cash it makes you wonder if Uncle Sam moonlights as a sugar daddy. For perspective, many hardworking Americans qualify for only a fraction of that in food assistance, and that’s if they qualify at all.
In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams has been sounding the alarm—or at least a muffled cry for help. “This issue will destroy New York City,” Adams said during a town hall meeting in 2023, referring to the influx of illegal immigrants and the strain it’s placing on city resources. Adams might be late to the party, but even he can’t ignore the colossal financial black hole created by the sanctuary city policies his administration once embraced.
New York’s shelters are overflowing, hotels have been converted into migrant housing, and taxpayers are footing the bill for everything from meals to healthcare to those aforementioned SNAP cards. At a time when lifelong residents are struggling to pay rent and local businesses are collapsing under skyrocketing costs, the optics of illegals receiving VIP treatment are impossible to ignore.
When Illegals Leave, America Breathes
Let’s take a moment to imagine the ripple effect of this self-deportation wave. Schools, no longer dragged down by translation delays and overcrowded classrooms, can finally refocus on educating students instead of just managing chaos. Emergency rooms, where eight-hour waits suddenly drop because the system isn’t strained by uninsured, undocumented patients, can get back to functioning for the people who actually fund them. Welfare programs and criminal justice systems, no longer choking under the weight of people who were never supposed to be here, can start addressing the needs of American citizens.
Leftists ask, “How will they pay for it?” Well, first we won’t be spending money to bring them in. Second, every illegal who voluntarily departs spares taxpayers thousands of dollars a month. That’s money that could go toward fixing crumbling infrastructure, supporting struggling veterans, or bolstering law enforcement. If Democrats had a shred of honesty left, they’d send Trump a thank-you card for solving a problem they birthed, then abandoned in a convenience store bathroom.
When the Freebies Run Dry
It’s no coincidence that the self-deportation trend is happening now, as Trump’s policies loom large and sanctuary cities buckle under the weight of their own virtue signaling. The Biden administration’s open-door policy turned America into the world’s most expensive hostel. But even hostels have limits, and it seems that limit has been reached. The money printer can’t keep churning out unlimited benefits for people who contribute nothing in return.
For some illegals, the decision to self-deport comes down to simple math. Why stay in a country where the free ride is coming to an end? As I’m sure they realized, America is not cheap when you have to foot the bill.
While Mexico’s updated legislation may not be ideal, it’s a more appealing option than sticking around to face deportation flights back to their home countries. And let’s not forget that some of these migrants never wanted to settle in the U.S. in the first place. For many, the goal was to exploit the system, send money home, and eventually return with enough savings to live comfortably in their home countries.
The Ironic Angel Wings
While the Left struggles to spin this into a win, let’s call it what it is: a victory for common sense. Sure, there’s no literal angel getting its wings when illegals return home—but there’s a sigh of relief from countless Americans who’ve been footing the bill for decades. It’s a reminder that even the most broken systems can be salvaged when the right leadership steps in.
For now, let’s raise a glass to the self-deporting crowd. They’ve saved taxpayers millions, cleared up space in our classrooms and hospitals, and, ironically, handed Trump yet another victory before he even takes office. Cheers to progress—one ticket home at a time.
