I did several years ago on FR. But you got to close the border first or they’ll take the money and be back in a week. It would be cheaper than having to work the court system. Plus the cash would cushion the receiving country of their return.
Back it up with severe penalties for not taking the cash and leaving. And even more severe penalties for taking the cash and returning illegally. And collect biometric data before they get their cash. So if they come back, you can nail them.
What is wrong with attrition thru enforcement? We don’t need mass deportation or a blanket amnesty or paying them to leave. We just make life miserable for them including shutting down the job magnet.
Well, you beat me to it— good- now you can take the heat. -:)
