Arizona Senator's Controversial Immigration Proposal

Ah, the delightful chaos of U.S. immigration policy, where ideas bounce around like a goldfish on a trampoline. Arizona Democrat Senator @RubenGallego suggests an intriguing alternative to the current Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) stipend for self-deportation. Instead of offering $1,000 to illegal aliens to leave via the CBP Home app, he proposes they pay a fine and receive renewable work visas, with background checks, while their immigration cases unfold. This isn't a shortcut to citizenship, he insists, but rather a legal avenue to remain in the country. Meanwhile, Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan emphasize that voluntary departure prevents lengthy bars from reentry. Our beloved bureaucracy keeps swimming in circles, it seems.
