People who signed up for a US ‘self-deportation’ scheme say their payoffs were delayed, misdirected or never arrived – leaving them empty-handed in their home countries

    Everyone in here going like “What did they expect lol?” needs to get their fucking moral compass checked. People in a probably very desperate situation (because for everyone else, $ 1000 wouldn’t be enough for this) were scammed by their own goddamn government. Governments are not supposed to do this, and we rely on our governments to do what they say every single day for a lot of things. Blaming the victims for this is wild to me.

    I warned when they announced the program that Trump never fucking pays.

    Anybody who took that deal was asking to get scammed.

      tbf, I’m assuming a lot of people who accepted that deal is not because they wanted 1k, it’s because that are fleeing this hellhole.

    Trump rarely pays people he looks upon as “the help”.

    The man is such a ghetto trash human being.

    That tracks with Trump’s reputation.

    You literally can’t believe a single word a MAGA administration releases.

    Atrocious, but also if you are stupid enough to believe these fuckers would actually give you that money, you deserve what you got, I guess?

    I never understood this, maybe they just need the money that badly or are outright threatened.

    Why would you believe they would give you money once you’re out of their country. You are no longer their problem.

      Believe you are going to be deported anyway but have some trust in “law” so do this so you get something to help you and your family out of it.
