Billionaire entrepreneur and Shark Tank investor Mark Cuban has endorsed the idea of paying immigrants to voluntarily leave the United States, calling it "the only humane option so far" amid controversy over the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) self-deportation program.
In a series of posts on X referring to immigrants and their impact on the U.S., Cuban argued that offering money to encourage voluntary departure would be cheaper for taxpayers than detentions and deportations. "I got no problem with offering more money for self-deportation. Cheaper to taxpayers. The only humane option so far," he wrote.
