US Launches $2,500 Offer to Encourage Migrant Teens to Return Home
The US government has recently launched a new program designed to assist migrant teenagers in returning voluntarily to their home countries. Beginning with 17-year-olds, this initiative offers a payment of $2,500 to minors who obtain approval from an immigration judge to leave the United States.
This program aims to provide financial assistance to young migrants, facilitating a smoother transition back to their countries of origin. It is part of broader efforts to manage immigration effectively while supporting unaccompanied minors who have arrived without adult guardians.
To be eligible, teenagers must:
- Go through a legal process
- Obtain permission from an immigration judge
- Agree to return voluntarily
The government’s goal with this incentive is to encourage voluntary departures rather than forced removals, prioritizing the well-being of the young individuals involved.
Experts consider this a significant development in US immigration policy, aiming to strike a balance between border security and humanitarian concern for minors.
