Democrat floats work visa suggestion in response to Trump admin's $1,000 self-deportation offer

The Department of Homeland Security is offering $1,000 to illegal aliens who opt to self-deport via the CBP Home App, but Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., floated the idea of charging fines and granting work visas instead.

"Why don’t we make them pay a $5k fine, go through a background check and give them a work visa for a few years, renewable with good behavior," he asked in a Monday post on X.

Gallego suggested in another post that immigrants would pay for the cost of their background check.
