Tom Homan's first statement after Trump's 'Border Czar' announcement: 'I don't care...'
President-elect Donald Trump's 'Border Czar' Tom Homan Monday said he would boot millions of migrants from the US according to Trump's plan. He said he does not care what people think of him and especially the Left. “I don’t care what anybody’s opinions like illegal immigration. When you create a crisis this big, all these other bad things happen. That’s what we have to secure the border," Tom Homan said on Fox & Friends.
“I’ve been clear. President Trump’s been clear. Public safety threats and national security threats will be the priority because they have to be, they pose the most danger in this country,” he said.
MAGA supporters are celebrating Tom Homan's no-nonsense stance on immigration and how he would rein in the border mayhem. The video of Homan shutting AOC and Pramila Jayapal are doing the rounds.
Homan told Fox that he was prepared to do anything to fix the Biden administration's crisis. “I’ve been on this network for years complaining about what this administration did to this border. I’ve been yelling and screaming about it and what they need to do to fix it. So when the president asked me, ‘Would you come back and fix it?’ Of course. I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t,” he told the outlet.
“I’m honored the president asked me to come back and help solve this national security crisis, so I’m looking forward to it.”
“I think the calling is clear. I’ve got to go back and help because every morning… I’m pissed off with what this [Biden] administration did to the most secure border in my lifetime, so I’m going to go back and do what I can to fix it," Homan said.
Why Tom Homan is called the father of 'family separation'
Tom Homan was the acting director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement between 2017 and 2018. He was one of the key architects of the "zero tolerance" family separation policy during that time. He advocated for separating the immigrant families sending the parents to immigration court for removal proceedings and children to the care of a separate agency. "Their parent absolutely entered the country illegally, had a child knowing he was in the country illegally. So he created that crisis," Homan said earlier doubling down on his policy.
