Does the u.s. govt pay for the plane ticket if you are deported?

lets say a japanese and overstayed his visa and got deported, does the govt generally pay for the plane ticket home

Answer:
If the person was deported by the immigration court, yes. That's a judicial proceeding and the government will pay for the persons repatriation.

Many/most people who are "deported" actually enter into voluntary agreements to depart the US voluntarily. They do this to retain their eligibility to reenter the country someday. I do not believe the government pays for that.
good question,
im only guessing, but I would say yes,
Yes. They also confirm proof of your citizenship through consulate which makes people stay in jail for a long time. So, best thing is ask your friend to bring proof of his citizenship (passport, birth certificate, etc.) and a ticket so that he can fly home sooner than later.
i would assume so...if they want u to leave they better pay for ur ticket
i dont know

has anyone ever been deported?
No, the taxpayers pay for the ticket!

You and I pay. But that is a small amount compared to the amount we would have to pay if the illegals stayed!
if the government pays the ticket it truly counts as deportation (not voluntary removal) and there will be a 10 year ban on returning.
No , but the government from where they came from should pay , to get you back .
Then they wouldn't let you leave in the first place .
yes
Yes they do, they also provide meals and a place to stay until such arrange are finalized.
No. Our tax dollars pay for the plane ticket home.
No. The Tax payers do.
i think so. Though, I think the person should do it. The government should not have to foot the bill for anyone staying over.or illegals
No doubt about it! I say that they work off the air fair before we deport them.
