Yep. Mom, dad, grandma, grampa, etc. will come in, overstay, self deport and get a free flight and 1000 bucks.
Another shining example of brilliance and foresight at work.
Or maybe, just maybe read who qualifies for this incentive versus sounding like an idiot:
Non-criminal aliens illegally in the United States who had an encounter with CBP either at a port of entry or between ports of entry.
Categorical parolees whose legal presence in the United States has expired or will soon expire.
Aliens must be physically present within the United States at the time of submitting their intent to depart.
Yay, pay all the non-criminals to leave, so we can keep th criminals.

Ii suspect the article is actually rather conservative when it comes to calculating the total cost. They need to factor in the building and maintenance of detention centers, the legal costs of representation, food and transport. It's a whole industry. The for-profit detention centers have every incentive to detain people for far longer than they should, and bill the taxpayer.
I hope the economic aspects of deportation, and the profit angle of private businesses are more widely explained and spread by journalists. Basically it's government-approved human trafficking to line the pockets of prison stock holders and CEOs.
