Being an illegal alien in the United States is now a very costly crime.

Right now, illegal immigrants who refuse to go back home are being charged nearly $1,000 for every day that they remain in our country.

This policy was put into place by the Department of Homeland Security last June in order to persuade illegal aliens to self-deport.

To date, the DHS has fined illegal immigrants $36 billion in total.

And, just one woman in Southern California has racked up $1.8 million in fines, so far

BREAKING: The Trump Administration just fined an illegal alien $1.8 MILLION for refusing to self-deport!

President Trump’s DHS is now charging them up to $1,000 a DAY.

ICE has already issued 65,000 of these fines, totaling over $36 BILLION.

Bankrupt them. Make it absolutely impossible for them to stay in our country.

This is what America First looks like! 🇺🇸 Promises Made, Promises Kept!

This woman in Southern California has been living in our nation illegally since she was a teenager.

She’s had a deportation order since 2003, but has continually refused to comply with the law and go back to her home country of Mexico.

NBC 7 San Diego reported:

A Southern California woman says the Department of Homeland Security fined her more than $1.8 million, accumulating each day she’s been in the U.S. without legal status, despite her now 13-year effort to become a legal permanent resident.

The woman, who asked that NBC 7 not identify her out of fear for her safety, said she received a letter informing her of the fine in the mail on Friday.

“It was a shock,” she said. “When I started reading and I see the amount – $1,820,000 – it was kind of insane.”

She said she came to the U.S. from Mexico decades ago, when she was around 13 years old. She is undocumented and a judge issued her an order of voluntary departure – requiring her to leave the U.S. – in 2003. But she said she didn’t know about that order for a decade, until immigration agents came to find her in 2013, at which point she said she began the process to adjust her status.

“Since then I’ve been fighting my case,” she said. “I’ve been fighting for this too many years, to do the right thing.”

“No criminal record, no issues,” her immigration attorney William Menard said of her case. “She’s just been trying to get this fixed for a long time.”

Menard said the woman’s father and three adult children are all U.S. citizens and she’s in the process of applying for her green card, petitioning through her family.

“It takes time to get these things resolved,” Menard said. “The application that she’s currently applying for requires multiple waivers and each one of them takes multiple years for the government to process, like, they’re just pending for years at a time.”

In June, DHS announced an update to its policies, making it easier to fine people who have been ordered deported, and to increase the amount of the fine: up to $998 per day, for each day in the U.S. past that order.

“A pending green card application does not give someone legal status to be in our country,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday. “The Trump administration is not going to ignore the rule of law.”

IT’S OFFICIAL: An illegal alien has been fined a whopping $1.8 MILLION DOLLARS by the Trump administration after refusing to self-deport

$36 billion in fines have been issued

Trump’s DHS is charging up to $1,000 per DAY

BANKRUPT THEM! Make it impossible to stay!

“ICE has issued about 65,000 of these fines totaling more than $36 billion.”

“I think just to scare people and to just push them to deport themselves!” 🔥🔥🔥

“They want us to leave.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

DE-BANK THEM TOO!

Maybe if this lady wants to avoid the trouble and not have to pay out, she should obey the laws of our nation and go back to Mexico on her own accord.

Then, come back legally if she wishes to live in the United States.

Just a thought.

What do you think?

Do you support fining illegal aliens who refuse to self-deport back to their home countries?
