US President Donald Trump said he wants to give money and an aeroplane ticket to any immigrant who is in the country illegally who chooses to 'self-deport,' and work to get those who are 'good' back in the US, a break from his usual hardline immigration rhetoric.

Trump, who campaigned on a pledge to carry out mass deportations, said in a taped interview with Fox Noticias that aired Tuesday that his administration is focused right now on getting 'murderers' out of the country. But for others in the US illegally, he said, he's going to implement 'a self-deportation program.'
