Logic’s Dictate Hot Topics with Steve Gibson: Common-Sense Political Insights for America’s Future. Although Logic’s Dictate is a policy manifesto on the fundamental changes that should happen in the United States today, Logic’s Dictate bravely advances common sense and deeply philosophically grounded action plans that, once you think about them, seem absolutely imperative that we enact them now. You’ll find all of these plans discussed somewhat in Logic’s Dictate, but you will also be able to read in more detail the parameters of these plans on this site. www.logicsdictate.

Is Paying Illegal Immigrants to Leave the U.S. a Failed Economic Policy

In Episode 60 of Logic Dictate Hot Topics, host Steve Gibson challenges a controversial immigration proposal reported by The Wall Street Journal: a $3,000 federal exit incentive offered to illegal immigrants to leave the United States.

While border security remains essential, Gibson questions whether paying billions to remove 20 million largely productive individuals makes economic sense—especially when removal costs taxpayers an estimated $17,000 per person. Is there a more rational, fiscally responsible solution?

This episode explores immigration through an economic, demographic, and societal lens, asking whether incentivizing lawful contribution—rather than mass removal—may better serve America’s future.

📘 This philosophy is explored further in Logic’s Dictate, the sci-fi political thriller that blends policy, economics, and power.

Welcome to Logic Dictate Hot Topics, the podcast where logic—not ideology—drives the conversation.

I’m Steve Gibson, and today we’re taking on one of the most emotionally charged and economically misunderstood issues in America: illegal immigration and federal exit incentives.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration is proposing a $3,000 payment to illegal immigrants willing to return to their country of origin. On the surface, it sounds rational. But when you dig into the numbers, the economics tell a very different story.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the true costs, the demographic realities, and the policy failures that nobody wants to discuss—and asking whether the so-called “solution” actually makes the problem worse.

What if I told you the U.S. government wants to pay billions of dollars to remove people who are already working, paying taxes, and contributing to society—while it costs even more money just to track them down?

If removing one illegal immigrant costs taxpayers $17,000, why are we offering $3,000 incentives instead of asking a simple question:
👉 Is there a smarter, more profitable solution for America?

Today on Logic Dictate Hot Topics, we’re cutting through emotion and exposing the economic reality behind immigration policy—and why logic may demand an entirely different approach.
