Report: Illegal Aliens in the UK Paid Thousands to Self-Deport, Collect the Cash—Then Promptly Return

Perhaps the only thing worse than living in (you pick) New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or any other Democrat-controlled city — where left-wing politicians remain hellbent on protecting illegal aliens from deportation — might be living in the United Kingdom, where years of intentional Islamization have pushed the country to an untenable reality.

How so? Here's a hint:

Muhammad [was] the most popular name for baby boys in England and Wales in 2024, topping the Office for National Statistics (ONS) list for the second time in a row. 

In 2024, over 5,700 baby boys were named Muhammad with that exact spelling — a 23% increase from the previous year — pushing it further ahead of Noah and Oliver, which held onto second and third place.

That spelling of the Prophet’s name (PBUH) has been in the top 10 most popular names for baby boys in England and Wales since 2016. 

While yes, aggressive Muslim immigration in the UK — and also in much of the rest of Europe — has reached a point where the once-proud country is on the precipice of losing its identity and culture, emigration from non-Muslim countries has become a serious issue as well.

Now, as reported by the UK's Daily Mail, the Home Office (the UK department responsible for public safety, immigration, passports, policing, and counter-terrorism) has come up with a plan ("scheme," in the UK) to pay thousands of dollars to illegal aliens to self-deport. 

And how's that working out, so far?

The Home Office’s "Assisted Voluntary Return Scheme," which offers thousands and a free plane ticket to illegals to voluntarily return to their countries of origin, is being defrauded by untold numbers of illegals who grab the cash and leave the country, only to promptly return.

And to add insult to injury, some illegals are taking to social media to not only brag about scamming the government, but in many cases are also laughing, returning, and ridiculing UK authorities.

Here's more, via Daily Mail:

Hundreds of illegal migrants are secretly sneaking back to the UK just weeks after being given £3,000 in British taxpayers' cash as a bribe to return home, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Our investigation has discovered the migrants are cynically gaming the Home Office's 'Assisted Voluntary Return Scheme' where they are each given a one-off payment and a plane ticket home.

Fixers brazenly offer step-by-step advice on social media detailing how to pocket the money, cheat the system and get back to Britain, openly scorning the UK Government as 'too trusting.'

"Too trusting"? 

Yeah, that — or, more likely, attempting to mollify Brits who have had enough of their country's out-of-control and woefully failed immigration experiment, and are in fear of losing their country altogether.

"There are jokers who come back as soon as they set foot in Brazil… hahaha!"

Here are several examples (emphasis, mine):

In one instance, a migrant received £3,000 to return to his country in the autumn of last year, only to return by January illegally to work as a grocery delivery driver. A friend is quoted as remarking: “Effectively, he went back home for Christmas on the taxpayers’ dime.”

In a similar occurrence, an entire family was paid £12,000 collectively to help rebuild their home in Brazil, yet the father of the family returned illegally to the UK half a year later to again work as a delivery driver.

[H]undreds of migrants have taken advantage of the returns payouts only to return to Britain illegally. The paper went on to claim that Brazilians appear to be on the frontlines of the scheme, with one man quipping: “There are jokers who come back as soon as they set foot in Brazil… hahaha!”

“Go to France, from France you go to Dublin. In Dublin, you take a bus to Belfast, from there you take a bus to Glasgow, and finally to London,” one online post explained.

One scammer bragged about returning to London after gladly taking the cash:

They called me a liar and said I wouldn’t be allowed in, but I told them I wasn’t going back to London, only visiting Ireland. They gave me a five-day visa and let me in. God knows why, haha. But my real goal was to get to London.

And get to London he did.

So here's the deal:

While Democrat political figures in America actively work to impede the legal actions of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) officers, and left-wing radicals take to the streets in sometimes violent protests, the Trump administration continues to aggressively round up and deport illegals at a record pace. 

Yes, that is "winning," and yes, that's exactly what we voted for.

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
