Border Czar Tom Homan joined Dana Perino on The First to discuss the national security risk posed by illegal immigration under the Biden-Harris administration.
In an emotionally charged segment, Homan pointed to the tragic consequences faced by American families and demanded stronger action to remove convicted criminals from the country.
Perino opened the segment by sharing a tribute from the basketball coach of a young woman who was killed by an illegal immigrant.

The coach had described her as a future leader with limitless potential: “They said, You know, we talked throughout the course of the year, at some point in her career, she was going to be a four star general, because she loved it. She made those around her better. They took a bright, bright star from our lives, and she’s not the first.”
Turning to Homan, Perino asked how recent border enforcement efforts have impacted American safety: “How much more do you think American safety could be either at risk, or is it better protected given the last five months of really dedicated activity to secure the border and to try to deport illegal immigrants who are criminals in the country?”
Homan responded by praising President Donald Trump’s approach to border security, saying, “Look, we have the most secure border in the history of this nation right now because of President Trump and his leadership. President Trump’s a game changer, like him or love him. No one’s been more successful in securing the border than President Trump, unprecedented success.”
However, Homan sharply criticized the current administration, warning that illegal aliens with criminal records are being released into communities without adequate vetting.

“Right now we’re seeing the millions of illegal aliens in this country illegally, many of them public safety threats to the Biden administration releasing the country without proper vetting,” he said.
Homan grew emotional while recounting his encounters with Angel Families—parents whose children were killed by illegal aliens.
“Why do I take this job so seriously? Why do I get emotional and lose my temper in front of Congress or on news stations? Because I’m sick and tired of meeting Angel moms and dads who bury their children because they were killed by illegal aliens. Shouldn’t be here.”
He accused Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and the Biden-Harris administration of knowingly misleading the public.
“Secretary Mayorkas stood on TV. How many times saying everybody’s properly vetted for the release? We found out that wasn’t true,” Homan said.
“Men and women, the border patrol had one instruction—process, quit, release. Quit because there’s no overcrowding here. There’s nothing to see and there’s no border issue. So these people are processed so quickly it can’t possibly run their criminal history.”
Homan further explained that vetting is nearly impossible for migrants from certain countries.
“We don’t have access to criminal history of people from Venezuela and El Salvador and these other countries,” he said.
“So Secretary Mayorkas lied to the American people. The Biden administration lied to American people, and we’re trying to fix the problem.”
He cited a staggering estimate to highlight the threat level: “There are a lot of public safety threats in this country, 600,000 an estimate right now, 600,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions walking the streets of this country.”
Homan closed by urging legislative action to empower law enforcement and remove these individuals. “That’s why we need this big, beautiful bill passed so we can put the resources out there in the streets to take these people off the streets and deport from this country just as soon as we as soon as we can.”

Mr. Homan first thank you, and know that I too get sick and tired of illegals destroying our citizens and cities.
Tom Quixote jousts at sanctuary cities once again.
And I, for one, am sick and tired of hearing about rogue, anti-American circuit judges who are doing their very best to keep this scum in our country! The judges MUST be fired or impeached and disbarred. They are too hate-filled to serve the United States as a judge – of ANY TYPE, even in a traffic court. And I really think the impeachment should begin with John Roberts. He has been a disaster as a supreme court member, much less the Chief Justice. GET RID OF THE SORRY SOB!!!
If I drank a gallon of iced tea, and Joe Biden were afire, I wouldn’t put hm out. Do you doubt me ? Test it. I’ll bring the iced tea. You bring the matches.
