Retiring ICE Chief: No One Has Done More for Border Security than Donald Trump

Retiring U.S. Immigration and Customs Immigration Enforcement chief official, Thomas Homan, sat down with the Washington Examiner's Anna Giaritelli to discuss his time in the agency and what can be improved upon to increase border security. Homan remarked during the interview that, of the six administrations that he has worked for, no commander-in-chief has more positively impacted the border than President Trump.

"It’s just a fact that our sitting president of one year has made a big difference," Homan said. "I've worked for six presidents. I started with Ronald Reagan...No one has done more for border [safety], public safety, and law enforcement than President Trump."

But President Trump is be stifled in his efforts by Congress, Homan asserts.

"I would like President Trump to work with Congress to get our needed resources. We need money to do our job," Homan told Giratelli. "The president has tried. He talked about giving us 10,000 more officers. We haven’t seen that happen yet because Congress hasn’t funded it."

This problem is only exacerbated by certain Democrats' call to abolish ICE, he adds.

"It's insulting that a member of Congress would say 'abolish ICE' when we're enforcing the laws that Congress enacted. They give us a set of laws that we're supposed to enforce and they give me the money to do it, then say 'abolish ICE,'" Homan explained. "We’re doing what you told us to do."

Furthermore, Congress is not giving President Trump the necessary funding for ICE agents to do their job to the best of their ability.

"I would like President Trump to work with Congress to get our needed resources. We need money to do our job," Homan told the Washington Examiner. "The president has tried. He talked about giving us 10,000 more officers. We haven’t seen that happen yet because Congress hasn’t funded it."

Homan officially retired from hist post on Saturday and will be replaced by Ronald D. Vitiello.

"As U.S. Customs and Border Protection Acting Deputy Commissioner, Ron has more than 30 years of experience working in law enforcement and protecting our nation," Department of Homeland Security Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement . "Deputy Commissioner Vitiello brings to ICE the vision and leadership needed to continue the exceptional work the agency is doing to accomplish its crucial national security and public safety missions."

President Trump keeping his promises, more winning to come.

It is kind of obvious when you see the left screaming about getting rid of ICE.

He is getting a ton of flack, so he has to be over the target.

Since 1988 the Bush League Republicans have made sure we could only vote for amnesty candidates.
Trump had the wealth and fame to break through the Bus blockade at the RNC.
Had he not decided to run, we would have once again been forced to vote for one of their amnesty candidates.
It was by design, they did not want US to be able to keep the rule of law or our country.

Then start looking for Property owned by the Federal Government as close as possible to those Elected Officials Homes and House ALL MS 13 Gang Members in their District!

The retiring ICE Chief remains feisty and acts as though he is not ready for retirement. Is that position limited to a certain number of years?

[jazusamo]

I don’t believe it’s limited.

A reply on a thread I posted yesterday it was said that Homan was going to retire before he took the job as ICE Chief in Jan 2017 but was talked into taking it, sounds like he’s tired of fighting the Rats.

The swamp leaders in ICE are resisting Trump.

[jazusamo]

Yep...Like I said yesterday, if those 19 agents don’t like the policies coming down from President Trump they’re free to leave and go anywhere they’d like. They can take their swamp buddies, bot RINOs and RATs with them.

Dallas Texas 2006, during war time, under Republican George Bush.

500,000 illegal aliens march on Dallas Texas, so emboldened by Bush pushed foreign flags in our faces and while making demands and threats. All while Bush celebrated Cinco De Mayo up in the White House each year...During war time.
