Tom Homan was an Acting Director of ICE during the Trump administration. He knows the subject better than almost anyone. When he says we have a disaster on our hands the wise move is to listen to him.
It’s bad enough to not prioritize border security over other less important agenda items. What the Biden administration is doing is going out of its way to tear down all the work of recent years in order to create a crisis. https://t.co/RANkYZCgLg

Homan: “It was not long ago that illegal crossings at our southern border were at historic lows. This was during the Trump administration. The president accomplished this in part by obtaining agreements with Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. President Trump also did it by building the wall that he promised to build to protect America and slow illegal entry into the United States. This is a wall that the data clearly shows works and a wall that the experts on the border will attest works.” But a working border system is not Biden’s goal. Just the opposite.
“The historic low in illegal border crossings was also due to the Remain in Mexico Program along with the Title 42 designation that would require most illegal aliens to be immediately returned to Mexico because of the COVID pandemic.” Smart policy. So it had to go.
“In a little over 40 days, the Biden administration has taken almost every one of these accomplishments and ended them. The legal tools and programs that made our border the most secure I have seen were systematically destroyed by President Biden and his administration in an effort to appease the open borders progressive left. Once again politics overruled public safety and broader security concerns. There are over 4,000 apprehensions a day and an additional 700 to 1,000 ‘got-aways,’ according to the Border Patrol. When Jeh Johnson was Homeland Security secretary under President Obama, he made the statement that 1,000 arrests a day along the border is a bad day. Well, we are at four times that number right now and will soon be at least five times that when Title 42 ends and probably much worse.” When you are at four times worse than Obama standards, there’s probably an issue.
“The current leadership of ICE is actively planning for an out-of-control situation at the border and already calling it a ‘surge.’ There are instructions to leaders to spend whatever money is needed to transport those who cross into the U.S. illegally into the interior of the country and release them as soon as possible. There is absolutely no talk about enforcing our laws and ensuring that those who entered illegally are held accountable. Illegal aliens will continue to put themselves in harm’s way to cross into our country because they know if they break our laws and hide out long enough, they will be rewarded. They know that the Biden administration does not enforce our immigration laws and that ICE has been ordered to not arrest those who are just here illegally.” Get ready for this to continue at least two more years.
