He didn't self deport before he got caught being in the country illegally for 20 years.
The offer was out before MsBrit came over and before he got caught.
FAFO

During their detention, an immigration agent told the couple they could choose “voluntary self-deportation”

And they were given $1000 and airfare to leave.
As opposed to the previous administration that offered airfare, phones, lodging, meals and a phone to enter the US.

Karen Newton has also violated the laws of this country, and overstayed her visa waiver admission for almost 4 years. She was banned from the US for 10 years. The Biden administration granted her a tourist visa after her ban ended in 2023

Did she put something on her visa application that she wanted to see her illegal alien husband in a couple of years, after not seeing him for 10 ?

I read somewhere the Newtons never got the $1000, but didn't care. They also reportedly never got their luggage.

Claims that the Biden administration provided free cell phones, travel, and pre-loaded cash cards to migrants upon entry are largely based on misrepresentations of existing, limited programs. While some migrants have been provided with phones for tracking in monitoring programs, and non-profits offer food/shelter, there is no government policy providing comprehensive, free travel and prepaid cards.

*Cell Phones: The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has used technology, including smartphones provided to some non-detained migrants, as part of the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP) for tracking purposes.

*Travel and Housing: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and humanitarian groups—not the federal government—often provide temporary lodging, meals, and assistance with transportation to the interior of the U.S. for asylum seekers.

*Misinformation: Similar claims that the Biden administration was distributing $5,000 visa cards were investigated and found to be false.

Note: The results indicate these claims have been made by political figures as criticisms of immigration policies, rather than official, publicized administration, according to AP News and Congressman Byron Donalds.

How much grant money was provided by the Biden administration to NGO's to provide housing etc ?

And Mr and Ms Brit are back home and together.

Hey guys, this thread is about the da economy. PAMan is keeping strict tabs lately. No extraneous posting, and stick to ONLY the exact point being discussed. Thank you for your cooperation.

I will type more slowly..

The penalty for unlawful presence is removal. Self deportation is an available option. There are even incentives -- free tickets and cash. This saves both sides time and money

They were held 6 weeks and finally allowed to self deport..what was the point of holding them 6 weeks?

Teach them a lesson so they don't repeat the behavior?

The Newtons. And the whole story about William.Newton overstaying an H-1B visa for 20 years makes no.sense.Thr H-1B visa is employer sponsored, lasts 3 years, and can only be renewed once..

At that point, they should've applied for a change of status..

Summary from Krugman -


If Biden's economy was so shitty, then it would have been trivial for Trump to make things better in short order.

Instead, despite starting at a supposedly low floor, he's made it worse. That's some real talent there.

Dow hit 50k today

My 401K and other investments absolutely killed it overall in 2025 and Jan 26

Gas $2.49 and bought milk for $1.94 and eggs for $1.88 the other day

At this rate I’ll be able to own as many homes as murph before long!

Dow -645

But we don't want you to notice that so ... Trump says "I'd love to not attack Iran, but sometimes you have to"
