Incoming Border Czar Has Tough Message for Open-Borders Dem Governors: He Couldn’t be More Perfect if He were Sent Over From Central Casting; Trump’s New ‘Border Czar’ Issues Warning to Gangs: ‘Going to Take You Out’
Incoming Border Czar Has Tough Message for Open-Borders Dem Governors
He couldn’t be more perfect if he were sent over from central casting.
The man whom Donald Trump has tapped to succeed Kamala Harris as border czar couldn’t be more perfect if he was sent over from central casting. Tom Homan is tough, plain-spoken, clear-sighted about what needs to be done to end the border crisis, and determined to do the job and do it right. As Matt Margolis noted here, “the left is already in an uproar” over Homan’s appointment, and the man himself, never one to shy away from a battle, on Friday made abundantly clear to his critics what they could expect from him.
Fox News reported Monday that Homan “has a clear message for any Democratic governors who oppose the planned mass deportation operation,” and it’s far from the blather to which we have grown dispiritingly accustomed over the years from establishment Republicans — you know, the nonsense about bipartisan cooperation and mutual efforts that the left gladly takes advantage of but never respects or reciprocates.
Instead, Homan came out swinging, saying of Democrat governors: “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.”
There are going to be plenty of people whom Homan will need to get out of the way. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said recently that “every tool in the toolbox has got to be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents and protect our states and to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law as a basic principle.” Note that Healey didn’t just speak of protecting citizens, but of protecting “residents,” that is, any illegal migrant who happened to have made his or her way to the far-left Bay State. When Healey was asked if she would have state police aid in deportations of illegals, Healey was adamant: “No. Absolutely not.”
In a similar vein, California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared: “I want our president to succeed. And our job, my job, is not to wake up every single day and get a crowbar and try to put it in the spokes of the wheel of the Trump administration. I’m not naive either, and we’re pragmatic, and we will stand firm.”
Homan was skeptical, wondering aloud if at least some of this tough talk was mere bluster or else a refusal to accept the reality that others were having to face whether they wanted to or not: “They’re not going to say it, but with all the alien crime and the young women being sexually assaulted and murdered, some sheriffs have been coming forward and working with us behind the scenes.” —>READ MORE HERE
Trump’s New ‘Border Czar’ Issues Warning to Gangs: ‘Going to Take You Out’:
President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming “border czar” issued a stark warning to criminal gangs on Friday.
“As far as Tren de Aragua and MS-13 … my gang’s bigger than your gang, and we’re going to take you out, too,” said Tom Homan, who led U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during Trump’s first term and will now serve as U.S. border enforcer.
Homan made the comments during an interview on Donald Trump Jr.’s Triggered podcast.
“I can’t wait to get started,” Homan added. “I am excited about coming back, serving this country again.”
Earlier in the interview, Trump Jr. asked Homan what his “overarching message” is to Americans “who are eager for major border action on minute one. Like, Inauguration Day, one second in, how much will you be able to improve the life of everyday Americans?”
“I got three words for them: shock and awe,” Homan responded. “Shock and awe. You’re going to see us take this country back.”
Trump and Homan share similar hard-line views on immigration and border security. Trump’s decision to tap Homan as his “border czar” also renewed concerns of how heavily the president-elect plans to lean on Project 2025, given that Homan is a visiting fellow at The Heritage Foundation and helped contribute to the initiative.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Project 2025 calls for creation of the type of sweeping immigration-focused role for which Trump selected Homan. The incoming “border czar” does not require Senate confirmation to serve under Trump, and CNBC reported that Homan could also be exempt from additional congressional scrutiny. —>READ MORE HERE
