00:15:57
Cash for Exit Trump's Deportation Plan
President Donald Trump proposed a new plan to pay illegal immigrants to self-deport from the United States. The plan aims to make the deportation process comfortable and incentivize illegal immigrants to leave voluntarily. Trump suggested providing stipends or money and plane tickets to those willing to self-deport. The administration hopes this approach will help reduce the number of illegal immigrants competing for jobs and housing in the U.S. Trump's immigration aide, Steven Miller, emphasized the need to remove the estimated 15 million illegal immigrants who entered during Joe Biden's presidency. The plan also includes reviving laws requiring migrants to register with the government, canceling visas, and empowering local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants.

Zelden revealed that the EPA's annual budget is about $10 billion, but in 2024, the agency spent over $60 billion, much of it from the Inflation Reduction Act. He uncovered waste, fraud, and abuse in the allocation of funds, including a case where a Stacy Abrams-linked NGO received $2 billion despite having only $100 in 2023. Zelden emphasized the need for enhanced oversight and reallocation of funds to ensure the EPA fulfills its actual job instead of being a radical organization.
