President Trump’s pick to be the nation’s first-ever “border czar” is a longtime former cop and immigration official who takes a hard line on illegal crossings.
Former acting ICE Director Thomas Homan told Secrets early in the Trump administration, for example, that he views every unauthorized border crossing as a crime that can and should be punished.
"If you are in this country illegally, and you committed a crime by entering this country, you should be uncomfortable, you should look over your shoulder, and you need to be worried," Homan told Secrets.
"No population is off the table," he told a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing in 2017. "We'll issue detainers to anybody in the country illegally," he said. "Our priorities are criminals first, but if you're asking me if we are going to put detainers on people that have not been convicted of a crime, yes we will," he added referring to the first step in deportation.
“All we have heard from a succession of immigration officials – even going back to the Obama administration – is that the border crisis cannot be solved until Congress acts. Tom Homan is a man of action, so I expect that mind-set and that narrative to change,” added Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies.
“I think that Ken Cuccinelli and Tom Homan will work well together, because Cuccinelli also wants to hit the ground running and has ideas for how to tackle the border crisis. They are both rule-of-law kind of guys. One thing that Cuccinelli brings to the operation is his understanding of how states can be full and constructive partners in immigration enforcement,” she told Secret.

Bravo. Since when shouldn’t a criminal on the loose be looking over his/her shoulder? They should have necks so sore that ICE can pick them up outside the chiropractor’s office.
I have been wondering for a long, long time how long it was going to take President Trump to get this Real American Patriot involved in securing our border!
Well played, Mr. President! Well played!
Taxman Bravo Zulu to the both of you!
What Yahoo and CNN and the alphabetical swill mills won’t report on is this; Mexican Senator says Mexico should take back states;

In the hundreds of postings here in Free Republic rarely is this brought up. It’s Known As Reciprocity. We should be treating anybody illegally crossing the Mexican border into the US the way the Mexican’s do Any American illegally .crossing into Mexico. No” free” lawyer paid by Mexican taxpayers. Entry denied heavy fine and possible imprisonment. before getting kicked out.
When allowing the hordes illegally entering the US through the Mexican border avoids recognizing and dealing with the 2nd class treatment that American citizens get which is in their constitition while legally residing in Mexico.That not just includes denial of voting privileges but employment, and land ownership in their name.
Worse yet All when given to illegals and property ownership by them is used in states which Mexico has previously claimed espcially Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and of course California .that could be used to support any reclaiming effort should regime changes in Mexico arise , Our border with Mexico has always been contentious not only with smugglers but on ocassion with Mexican bandits and military.,Allowing potential hostiles to the US property ownership to happen in those states could lead to serious problems in the future.
.It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen entering illegally exempting those who do so legally and meet US citizenship requirements.
What never gets mentioned is that 2nd class treatment Americans get in Mexico in all of this. If we applied that reciprocal policy . Would that continue ? By.prohibiting and strictly enforcing existing laws prohibiting any illegal entrant employment, voting, and land ownership privileges fully enforced these problems would drop loke a rock. .In other words Once we remove the incentives to Sneak into this country before expulsion no job no voting no landowning this stuff would stop.
Sounds good. If only he could get the staff needed to get the job done.
Well, this is a welcome change. Didn’t the Obama administration sue to stop Arizona from enforcing immigration law on the basis that it is a federal matter (and the Obama policy was to not enforce immigration law)?
“he views every unauthorized border crossing as a crime that can and should be punished. “
He is correct and good that he has that view and Trump put him in this position, where he can help stop the invasion.
well a to the men..surround cali and deport
“If only he could get the staff needed to get the job done.”
Get money from big fines against employers of illegals, use it to pay bounties for identifying illegals. Bounties — how we used to find criminals.
ROFL OMG you almost had me spitting out Corn Flakes.
Good. No illegal alien should be given a pass for breaking into our country.
We must replace all those Amnesty Senators, starting with Flimsey Grahamnesty.
Well he talks the talk. Good for those who want more talk I guess.
arrest the Cops who have willfully ignored the laws for sooo long, THAT would be justice.
It's isn't a "view" of his, it's a fact of law.
At a miniumum, every single illegal alien is guilty of violating federal law 1911. 8 U.S.C. 1325 -- Unlawful Entry, Failure To Depart, Fleeing Immigration Checkpoints, Marriage Fraud, Commercial Enterprise Fraud.
Enforce the LAW and send a few employers to jail after a stiff Fine ($$$$$)
Control of our voting rolls to stop ballet box stuffing by illegal immigrants that are not and should not be allowed to vote in our elections.
Go Trump Go!!!!
I have always liked this guy. Now I like him even more.
Best election, best POTUS, evah!
Build the wall, enforce the law, deport them all!
