    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

      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

      https://www.regeringen.se/pressmeddelanden/2025/04/ett-kraftigt-hojt-atervandringsbidrag/

      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.

    I’d love to have free ticket from ruzzia. Sadly, they need cannon meat and won’t let me out.

    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

    even for this sign for non USA citizens they aren’t willing to budge on putting a non-english language

    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

    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.

      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?

            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.

      Can you sign up for them on their behalf?

      Rafael Edward Cruz, aka Ted Cruz, wasn’t actually born in the US.
