The Brazil U.S. Embassy Tells Illegal Aliens to “Do Like E.T.” and “Phone Home” with its Self-Deportation Message
By The Blog Source
The well-known image of E.T. is being used by the U.S. Embassy in Brazil to warn illegal migrants that it is time to leave the nation. The embassy urged Brazilians who are in the United States illegally to "do like E.T." and return with "support and dignity," while promoting the Trump administration's updated CBP Home app.
The wording on the Portuguese-language image, which was uploaded on Wednesday, said, "Even E.T. knew when to come home," and it showed E.T. riding a bicycle past the moon. Under President Trump's reorganization, the CBP Home app provides illegal immigrants with a stipend and travel assistance so they can willingly return to their home nations. The embassy in Brasília is now actively urging Brazilians to take advantage of the offer, which was apparently publicized by DHS earlier this month in English.
Brazilian nationals who are illegally in the United States are being urged to return home by the U.S. Embassy in Brazil, which released a social media message in Portuguese on Wednesday. "Even E.T. knew when to come home," the message said, referencing popular culture and including an image from the 1982 movie E.T. The campaign is a component of a larger effort by the Trump administration to promote self-deportation through the CBP Home app, a program that provides incentives and travel help to illegal immigrants who want to leave the country willingly.
The embassy's statement said, "If you are in the United States illegally, do like E.T.: it's time to go home." The CBP Home app, which the Department of Homeland Security claims assists people in "returning home with dignity and at no cost," was recommended to users.
The CBP One platform, which was first introduced under President Joe Biden, has been redesigned into the CBP Home app. Trump's modification moves the focus toward repatriation, in contrast to Biden's version, which permitted illegal immigrants to register and stay in the country while they awaited proceedings. Earlier this year, President Trump claimed that the Biden administration had illegally allowed over a million foreign nationals to enter the country by abusing the CBP One app. "To give those who are in our country illegally a simple way to leave and self-deport voluntarily, my administration is now launching the CBP Home app."
"If they do not avail themselves of this opportunity, then they will be found, they will be deported, and they will never be admitted again to the United States," Trump continued, promising to deport those who fail to take advantage of it and prohibit them from entering the country for good.
Apart from assisting individuals with their departure, CBP Home provides services for importers to arrange inspections and for non-immigrant aliens to apply for temporary travel permits.
With educational videos and public reminders that Brazilians living in the U.S. illegally might use the app to escape deportation, the U.S. embassy in Brasília has been especially aggressive in pushing the application. Tens of thousands have reportedly utilized it to self-deport and earn travel stipends this week.
One of the largest groups of undocumented immigrants in the US consists of Brazilians. According to a 2022 DHS estimate, there are about 230,000 Brazilian nationals living in the US illegally. The figure fell during Trump's first term, but it rose sharply under President Biden. Brazilian illegal immigration increased by an astounding 114,000 percent in 2021 alone, according to U.S. authorities. According to DHS investigations, human trafficking organizations smuggled Brazilian nationals into forced labor employment, especially in Massachusetts, which has one of the largest Brazilian populations in the country.
During a targeted operation throughout Massachusetts in June, federal immigration officers stepped up enforcement and arrested about 1,500 illegal aliens, including two Brazilian nationals who were wanted by Interpol for murder and drug trafficking.
The Trump administration has adopted E.T. as the unexpected face of its self-deportation campaign, despite Spielberg's lack of public reaction to the exploitation of his film's images. The administration hopes that a familiar message from a popular alien would be sufficient to persuade illegal migrants to "phone home."
