If they would create a simple forwarding site that reads the phone type and forwards it onto the proper store they could condense that QR code down into only one.
they should also use a generic phone so it doesn’t look dated
in large text it is better to highlight important points in subtle colored boxes to prevent them from becoming a wall of text
Clearly the biggest issues with this.
Oh, I’m sorry, dose it say something? My eyes were to busy glazing over such a trash poster
It says they arent hiring the best and brightest to make this.
What if I’m here legally?
How non-white are you?

Genuine question as a European, is this real?
Germany actually has a similar program: https://www.returningfromgermany.de/en/page/voluntary-return/
Really? Swedish government:
[G]rants may be paid in the amount of SEK 350,000 for those who have reached the age of 18 and SEK 25,000 for those who have not reached the age of 18, but not more than SEK 500,000 for spouses or cohabitants and not more than SEK 600,000 per family

So that is a litte less that 35,000 USD (after this proposed increase). This is liberal politics in Sweden.
Also to note, the first statement from the minister there in that link, Johan Forssell, his son is active club neonazi. He is still in the party and a Swedish minister. That, and how his party is collaborating with a full party of “ex” neonazis, is how far separated our governments are from nazis in Europe.
I was just in LAX the other day and saw one of these signs in the security line. I can confirm with my own eyes that the sign is real.
Honestly, knowing the administration is hiring ICE agents at 100k+ starting salaries (for context, you generally have to be pretty late in a professional career with a multi-page resume to be approaching such salaries) arresting, detaining and forcibly deporting on chartered deportation flights is a heck of a lot more expensive and takes a lot longer than just handing families a couple grand plus $500 in plane tickets to get out. I suspect they’re quietly doing this to bolster deportation numbers since forcibly deporting takes a ton of manpower and therefore is quite a bottleneck for meeting the deportation targets Trump has stated
Depends what we mean by real. Kristi Noem is doing television commercials for this.
Do they really give you the $1000 and a free flight? I don’t know if that’s real. The free flight might take you somewhere you were not intending to go.
1000 Trumpbux to spend on his merch
Go to the website and find out
Holy shit.
It’s shocking to see it as a US citizen too. I’ve heard about it, but to see it in writing, is depressing af.
Shocking? The idea of “self-deport” existed a long time ago.
Edit: Idk what the downvotes are about, but its naive to believe that xenophobia didn’t exist before trump
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation_from_the_United_States#Voluntary_departure
Voluntary departure, also known as “informal deportation” or “return”, is the most common form of expulsion in U.S. history, accounting for 85 percent of the nearly 57 million expulsions between 1920 and 2018.
Voluntary departure, aka: “Self-deport”
As European you should be aware that this idea has been used in countries here. German and Swedish approaches have already been posted, and here is another: Austria offers Syrian refugees 1,000 euros to return home.
As “Europeans” we need to get off our high horse and stop pretending we do things better.
I’d love to have free ticket from ruzzia. Sadly, they need cannon meat and won’t let me out.
The moment you download the app and it runs for the first time, it’s going the phone home and you are already on the list.
This is what I voted for!
I mean if this was a legit thing and someone wanted to leave but didn’t have the financial means then this is good, but most likely anyone who uses this will just get raided by ICE and thrown in prison instead of what it says, because that’s exactly how low and pathetic people are
- purchase a burner
- install VPN
- install Geo spoofer
- register all Republicans in office
even for this sign for non USA citizens they aren’t willing to budge on putting a non-english language
it’s because the point is to both intimidate victims and also get nazis horny.
I don’t believe for one second that they’re letting self deport through this happen.
This is far more likely to be an ICE hotline for who to disappear next to bolster their quota numbers
YUP
Based on my experience, “those people” actually believe(d) that the US government is literally paying every person south of the border vast sums of money to come live here. If I had a dollar for every variation of “if you’re broke, travel to Mexico and cross the border back into the USA, they’ll give you a free debit card” I’d literally be able to afford to fly to Mexico, cross back over into the USA, and then be disappointed that nobody’s getting those magical debit cards conservatives are convinced are being handed out like candy. And I’m brown enough I’m sure I could be confused as being “Mexican”.

I have two half-Thai, half-white cousins. One of them looks vaguely Mexican / Latin American and the other looks Japanese, and they got lots of shit for that growing up in Florida. Fortunately, that experience really taught them to respect and value immigrants and non-white people.
Just kidding – they’re actually hard-core white-supremacists and trumpers. The only reason trump isn’t their favorite person of all time is that they like DeSantis even better.
Floridians love of DeSantis is extremely baffling. It really makes me struggle to care when they get hit with hurricanes and shit
Laughing at these assholes is going to be the best part of dying in the camps.
Yeah, something to do while savoring my slice of moldy Wonder bread.
Gotta keep the fun in life.
My parents believe that democrats are giving “illegal” immigrants welfare.
We are a family of legal documented immigrants, there were barely any benefits for us (especially not the first 5 years), and anything that you could get is means tested and you need all your legal documents ready. Like wtf how do you expect undocumented immigrants of getting any welfare, wtf.
(No they do not watch fox news, its some news account thing that they follow on WeChat.)
The right-wing media ecosystems the US has for each immigrant community is so bizarre.
To what extend do you think it’s rich immigrants sharinging petty bourgeois brainworms with other immigrants whose class position makes them exceptionally fertile for brainworms or literally just the state department amplifying and funding those voices?
Is this exploitable? Lowkey wanna buy a cheap spare android and see about that free money 👀
Free airfare to the vacation destination of your choice. Don’t forget your passport.
I thought buy a one way ticket to the us, a few weeks of fun, self deport.
I think you cannot buy or board a one way ticket if you are not a US citizen
Why?
Book two one-ways, cancel the departing 1-way within 24 hours, after you have your confirmation documents. That’s what I did for China, I can’t imagine the US actually looks up the current passenger list either.
Eh I don’t know about that. Airlines selling passenger manifest data to governments and other entities is a legit revenue stream.
The Wikipedia entry concerns the topic exclusively on Europe, for some reason, but paying someone to leave the country is called remigration.
No. Listen. I know a lot of US politicians who can be signed up.
Can you sign up for them on their behalf?
Rafael Edward Cruz, aka Ted Cruz, wasn’t actually born in the US.
Is this real?
Nothing is real
