Late on Sunday evening, President-elect Donald Trump announced his pick for “border czar,” and it’s none other than former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Tom Homan. What an excellent choice. This man is hardcore when it comes to protecting the border and ensuring the American people feel secure in their homeland. Trump promised he would be picking better people to surround himself with this time around and thus far he’s already keeping that promise.
“I am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation’s Borders (‘The Border Czar’), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security,” Trump went on to say in a statement. “I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders,. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job.”
Homan’s new job will be taking over the role that Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump’s former opponent for the presidency, which she was appointed to not long after taking office in 2021. For the record, Harris didn’t do jack squat in that role to address the border and that is partially to blame for her loss, much to the chagrin of the left.
Here’s more from The Daily Wire:
Homan generated outrage on the political Left late last month when he responded to a question from CBS News’ “60 Minutes” about how to carry out deportations without separating families. “Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?” asked host Cecilia Vega.
“Of course there is,” Homan responded. “Families can be deported together.”
You just know that steam was blowing out of the ears of pro-illegal immigration leftists not only in the media but all over the nation. What’s really ironic is if you brought illegal migrants to their front door and asked them to take them into their homes and provide them with all they needed to survive here, they would say no. But if we say no on a national scale that’s somehow racist. The lack of logic and consistency from liberals is stunning.
He added that children of illegal aliens who are born in the U.S. should be deported with their parents because their parents caused the problem by knowingly having a child on U.S. soil despite being in the country illegally.

Let’s hope that Homan gets the ball going with a quickness once Trump takes office in January and that we get this border situation wrapped up so the pressure on Americans to support lawbreakers coming here without permission will ease up.
