You can definitely trust the Trump administration to be honest and pay what it says it will, and definitely will not immediately kidnap and throw you in its concentration camps when you come to collect the money!

      They aren’t ever going to get any money. This is the same scam police use to capture people with warrants for their arrest. Tell them they won the lottery and they need to meet at X place to collect their prize then arrest them. The immigrants will arrive at the location and immediately be carted off into a concentration camp.

        They might add a few extra steps.

        1. Promise money
        2. Migrants come to collect but are told they must wait to be transported out before they get the money, you know so we are sure you left.
        3. Hold them in detention and fly them to El Salvador
        4. If the money comes up, tell them that you had to deduct transport and housing and that they actually owe money now.
        5. Actually give the money to whatever private business you’re trying to line the pockets of (CIC Transportation and Detention LLC?)

      Our money. He’s throwing our money at his problem.

      I guess for his base and supporters, they understand how this works about as well as how they understand tarifs.
