President-elect Donald Trump has wasted no time making good on his promise to enforce a hardline approach to immigration. His pick? None other than Tom Homan, the former ICE chief who’s never been one to sugarcoat his views. Homan is known for his no-nonsense approach to border security, and Trump’s announcement on Truth Social made it clear that Homan’s new role as “Border Czar” is just the start. Trump declared, “I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our borders.” This appointment signals a serious return to securing the country’s borders and upholding immigration laws.
Let’s just say Democrats are not thrilled to see Homan back in action. Homan has been a driving force behind some of the strictest immigration enforcement in recent memory, with his fingerprints all over policies like Trump’s 2018 zero-tolerance policy. And he’s not apologizing. In fact, at a recent Conservative Political Action Conference, Homan made his position crystal clear: “I’m still being sued over that… I don’t give a s***, right? Bottom line is, we enforced the law.” That’s Homan for you – blunt, determined, and unafraid to call out the left’s endless attempts to dodge accountability on immigration.
With Homan now in charge of mass deportations, the media is already squawking about cost and logistics. A recent report by the American Immigration Council, a group hardly known for its objectivity, claims that deporting a million people a year would cost taxpayers nearly $88 billion annually. Trump’s response? Priceless. “It’s not a question of a price tag… Really, we have no choice,” he told NBC. “When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and now they’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here. There is no price tag.”
The left, of course, loves to paint Homan as some sort of heartless enforcer, ignoring the fact that he’s focused on getting dangerous criminals off American streets. As Homan himself stated, this operation will prioritize those who pose a genuine threat to public safety. And, unlike Democrats who want to throw open the borders without any plan to manage the consequences, Homan and Trump are focused on saving taxpayer money by implementing a streamlined deportation process.
Polling may show a general preference for “pathways to legal status,” but let’s be real – that’s because Democrats and the media have spent years muddying the issue. In reality, millions of Americans support stricter immigration policies and appreciate leaders like Homan who refuse to back down. They know that Homan’s hard-line policies aren’t about cruelty; they’re about protecting American communities and ensuring that our laws mean something.
So, as Democrats continue their hand-wringing, it’s safe to say that Trump and Homan are ready to put the focus back on securing the country, with Homan promising, “Wait until 2025.”
