As Trump started his harsh policies against what he calls "aliens", the US president said that he would launch a "self-deportation" programme, offering money and air tickets to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the US.
In an attempt to encourage undocumented immigrants to leave America, Trump during an interview with Fox Noticias, incentivised 'Leave America', by offering them money in return.
"We're going to give them a stipend. We're going to give them some money and a plane ticket, and then we're going to work with them — if they're good — if we want them back in, we're going to work with them to get them back in as quickly as we can," the US president said.
Earlier this year, four batches of Indians were deported by the Trump administration under his promised crackdown on illegal immigrants.
This comes after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the US, said that those staying in other countries illegally "do not have any legal right to be there", adding that his country was ready to take back its citizens living in America illegally.
