Incoming border tzar and former director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan will lead the “zero tolerance” efforts for illegal migration. Legal immigrants are safe, despite the media’s claims. When asked if it were possible to carry out deportation efforts without separating families, Homan replied: “Of course there is. Families can be deported together.”
Immigrant advocacy group, the American Immigration Council believes it will cost $968 billion to deport 13 million immigrants over the next decade. Well, remember when Trump asked for a significantly smaller sum to build a wall and secure the border? The cost of permitting migrants to stay is astronomical as US citizens are currently paying for tens of millions of people to live taxpayer-subsidized lives, and the Democrats had no plans for those free checks to cease.
Trump will invoke the 1789 statute called the Alien Enemies Act to rid the nation of all noncitizen gang members and criminals. Homan said that efforts will begin by cracking down on forced labor and sex trafficking. “Where do we find most victims of sex trafficking and forced labor trafficking? At worksites,” Homan said. Is Homan a hardliner? Yes. Will he get the job done? I believe so.
Homan has told Democrats attempting to stop mass deportation efforts to “get the hell out of the way.” They created this crisis and are responsible for what ensues. “If they’re not willing to help, then get the hell out of the way because [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)] is going to do their job,” Homan, who was acting ICE director during the first Trump administration, told Fox News.
The efforts will be targeted and deliberate. There will not be a mass sweep of neighborhoods or raids. The claims of detention camps are fake news. Homan said the extent of the initial deportation efforts depends on funding.
“As a guy who spent 34 years deporting illegal aliens, I got a message to the millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden’s released in our country in violation of federal law: you better start packing now – you’re damn right – because you’re going home,” Homan told a crowd. “When President Trump gets back in office, he’s going to designate you a terrorist organization. He’s going to wipe you off the face of the earth. You’re done.” There have already been reports of migrant caravans en route to America turning around because they know they are no longer welcome here. The border is closing in January.
As we saw in Italy, where Meloni needed the cooperation of African nations, Trump will need the cooperation of foreign leaders to prevent the inflow of migrants. Other nations must be willing to take back their citizens who falsely claimed asylum.
The biggest obstacle, of course, will be the far left, which ignores economics and believes the taxpayers can continue to support an endless inflow of migrants. These people have ignored the stark uptick in crime carried out by migrants. They ignore the fact that nations have emptied their prisons and sent the worst among them to America. The cries are now saying that people “don’t want grandma deported” and that although Americans voted for closed borders, they are not prepared to separate families. It is unfortunate that the Democrats told the WORLD that they should flock to the United States, completely ignoring our laws and national security. The left used them as pawns, and unfortunately, the rouse is over.
Legal immigration is permitted and encouraged. Trump is married to an immigrant from a communist nation for crying out loud. Law and order must be re-established in this nation, beginning by securing the border to make America safe again.
