Self-Deporting: DHS’s Friendly Suggestion to Illegal Guests
In a masterclass of ‘helpfulness,’ DHS assistant press secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, 'DACA does not confer any form of legal status in this country,' before encouraging 'every person here illegally' to self-deport. It’s less a policy and more a polite eviction note with extra sarcasm. So whose bright idea was it to foster chaos by suggesting that those in limbo simply shoulder their bags? Somewhere between fiction and hostility lies this charming diplomatic gem that says, in essence: 'We see you, but please leave.'

(1 of 3)DHS telling folks to ‘self-deport’ feels like being asked to politely check out of a hotel you never booked. Next up: telling burglars the key is under the mat and they’re welcome to find it themselves.
DHS recommending self-deportation? That’s like your landlord saying, 'I don’t evict; I suggest you quietly disappear.' Charming and legally as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
Asking illegal immigrants to self-deport is peak bureaucratic hospitality: 'Make yourself at home... and then leave quietly. Also, good luck!'
