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!

Sorry, are they seriously saying they'll pay anyone in mexico $1,000 if they come to the US for a few days?
Has he never heard of the Cobra effect
Could be funny, if canadians would start to drive over to Alaska, just to claim the 1000$
They don't care. Obama deported more people than Trump. Trump cannot have that. At this point it's just a matter of beating that number for him. If people intentionally come to the country just to pad that number for him, it's a win in his book.
Who will make sure they get the $1000?
It's a reverse bounty.
Sure, but the catch is they'll never be able to come into the US legally again.
Sounds great for the next 4 years, but the winds change. In 20, 30, 50 years this place is going to be completely different, but you'll still have a deport on your record.
It's quite a gamble for $1,000.
You're also assuming they won't just lure people in with the promise of $$$ and then kidnap them into concentration camps anyway.
They are going to create fucking agencies for gaming this system. They don't need to immigrate permanently if they're making thousands of US dollars for shuttling people across the border for the express purpose of "self-deporting" once they get here. There are millions and millions of people in Mexico who have no interest in living in the US but sure wouldn't pass up $1000 USD for a short vacation north of the border.
Yeah, as a tourist you could just overstay your visa and get rewarded for it.
