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.”
Regarding Healey’s defiance, Homan added, “If you don’t want to work with us, then get the hell out all the way, we’re going to do it. What it means is, rather than send 100 people to Boston, we’re going to send 200 agents to Boston. We’re going to get the job done. We have a mandate. I think the American people just gave President Trump a mandate. That’s why he’s elected — to secure the border, save lives, and deport people, especially national security threats and public safety threats. So if you’re not going to help us, step aside, but don’t get in our way, because there will be consequences.”
That was refreshing to hear in light of the fact that illegal migrants are, after all, illegal. While they affect righteous indignation at Trump’s plans, Healey and Newsom are aiding and abetting people who are breaking the law. As they are elected officials, this ought to be grounds for impeachment, but impeachment proceedings would require a healthy number of sane officials with the courage to pursue this, and such people seem to be lacking in both Massachusetts and California.
Homan also directly addressed some of the left’s most hysterical claims, explaining, “It’s not going to be a massive sweep of neighborhoods, it’s not going to be massive raids. It’s going to be a targeted enforcement operation.” However, he concluded with a simple warning: “If you’re in a country illegally, you’ve got a problem. There will be a massive deportation operation because we had massive never-seen-before illegal immigration, where 90% will be ordered removed. It’s common sense.”
Yes, it is. But the left has been at war with common sense and reality for years and is waging that war on numerous fronts. Homan appears ready for yet another front in that war to open up.
Arrest the “sanctuary people” as accomplices in a RICO case involving democRATs, deep state and NGOs. Arrest, hold with no bail, take time to develop cases and then put as many as possible in prison for treason.
The MSNBC crowd is melting down over this.
They are melting down over just about everything since the election.
The best way is to get illegals to self-deport. Tough talk is a means to that end. We’ll see. I’m expecting them to spend the next four years on violent criminals, terrorists, and case-load dependents. The more babies they reproduce, the more complicated it will get.
“So if you’re not going to help us, step aside, but don’t get in our way, because there will be consequences.”
“If you’re in a country illegally, you’ve got a problem.”
Quite simple and expected in every country except our’s, the greatest country on earth.
God bless this man.
I believe one of the best tools is to re-instate the form needed for employers to hire. I can’t remember what it was, even though I had to submit it when owning a couple small businesses back in the 80’s and 90’s.
This whole business of sanctuary cities should not be happening.
It would be an interesting court case, to determine if states can just ignore federal law, as they do with laws regarding illegal aliens being in this country.
“The MSNBC crowd is melting down over this.”
Oh, you mean the people who hate us and tried to murder our candidate.
They are irrelevant now.
(hi by the way)
Yep. I expect a lot of illegals are packing up already.
Cut off all taxpayer dollars that are aimed at illegal alien pockets. It’s not our job to support those freeloading bass turds. They aren’t coming here anymore to pick strawberries, mow lawns and clean toilets. They are here to party the “good life” on the backs of the gringo taxpayers.
Holding employers to the fire is one way to get a grip on all of this. I live in a very red state that has few illegals or Mexicans. I was quite upset a few years ago when this clown drove up to a restaurant in his company owned pickup and out pops two Spanish speaking pukes he had as employees. He came into the cafe, they all sat down and he helped them with the menu.
I’m certain this crap happens all over the place. But it’s got to stop. Employers like this need to be held accountable as much as a drug dealer should be held accountable. They are both aiding in the destruction of this nation.
There is no “crises per se. The border situation is deliberate and a long term strategy to secure a democrat power structure forever in this country. Not many Americans want to vote for a third world lifestyle so they’re importing it.
Now if we could get rid of “birthright citizenship” and chain migration...
However, he concluded with a simple warning: “If you’re in a country illegally, you’ve got a problem. There will be a massive deportation operation because we had massive never-seen-before illegal immigration, where 90% will be ordered removed. It’s common sense.”
Note, we need to be saying this.
AND devestating fines for companies that employ them. AND RICO cases against the NGOs and “charities” that are encouraging the invasion for huge profits.
Our NO NONSENSE border enforcer!!!!!! Where can we find more like him? Get out of the way Congress and state governors!
Predient Eisenhower did it in the 1950’s. I was there in the Border Patrol. He filled trains up and deported them to Mexico using trains, planes and ships. We didn’t even have ICE back then.
Can a network meltdown if there’s no one there to watch it happen?
Illegals are self-deporting to Canada now. Canada used to hire hundreds from Mexico to work there in agriculture. It’s turned into a nightmare for them already.
A really good message is “Be a sanctuary city/state if you want. NO FEDERAL MONEY FOR YOU.”
Tom Homan is a dog on a chain just itching to get loose. I can’t wait til he does!
