Why not pay them to go home? If we pay illegals $3000 each that would be much cheaper than keeping them here.

Japan has done it and it seems to be working.

Here is an article in the legal immigration forum.

So with all the talk of rewarding them for coming here illegally, your solution is to...actually give them a financial reward.

It would be paying them to leave.

What makes you think they see it as an award?

It's cash in exchange for coming here and then leaving. This is definitely something you guys would view as a "reward."

Keep in mind this is a forum where it's been argued that NOT BEING DEPORTED for being here illegally is a reward. This, in contrast, is straight up cash.

Should the US imitate France and pay 10000USD to Mexican illegal immigrant families to incentive return home? (http://www.ot-maurice.com/should-the-us-imitate-france-and-pay-10000usd-to-mexican-illegal-immigrant-families-to-incentive-return-home/ - broken link)

It appears France has had some success with this.

And then you get to deal with the next step (once they have left)...
how do you keep them from not coming back?

on point:
NON-CASH moving assistance in the form of bus, train, plane tickets, fuel stipends...
and disposal of what "assets" they may have accumulated that are impractical to ship 3-5000 miles.

On arrival at their home village in their home country...
some more NON-CASH assistance in the form of US made tools, equipment, household appliances, etc
(which they can use to re-establish themselves there and for some to actually flourish)

Because another one would come in their place. It doesn't matter which political power is in place, neither will raise the fine high enough for hiring illegals to make it cost more than hiring Americans, Green card holders or H2As.

I was thinking in small terms but 10000, I think all of them might return home.
