Border Czar Homan: Biden is the First President Who ‘Unsecured a Border on Purpose’
Homan: “I would get venture over 20 million. But your question is, but at last count, last I looked, there were about 700,000 illegal aliens with criminal charges walking the streets of this country.”

The White House started its celebrations of President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office with Border Czar Tom Homan recapping the achievements of securing our border.
Homan has been with six presidents. This is a mic drop:
TOM HOMAN: I started in Border Patrol in 1984. I’ve been at this for over 40 years and have worked for six presidents, starting with Ronald Reagan. Every president I worked for took border security seriously because you can’t have national security if you don’t have strong border security. You can’t know who’s coming in and what’s coming in, right? Even President Obama and President Clinton took some steps to secure the border because national security was important.
Joe Biden is the first president in the history of this nation who came into office and unsecured the border on purpose. That’s just a fact. We handed the Biden administration, after President Trump’s first administration, the most secure border in my lifetime, and they unsecured it on purpose.
Now, President Trump and this administration here, it’s a success, it’s unprecedented. We’ve beat the Trump administration’s first-term border success. Border numbers are at a historic low. Today, we have the most secure border in the history of this nation, and the numbers prove it. President Trump’s policies are saving lives every day.
Homan noted how lower numbers mean sex trafficking and sexual assaults against women by the cartels have gone down:
Under Joe Biden, sex trafficking was up 600%. We had 4,000 aliens die making the journey. We had, accordingly, Americans dead from fentanyl that came across the border. President Trump’s policies save lives every day. Even the border wall saves lives. People want to hate on the border wall, but every place there is a part of the wall, illegal immigration has declined. You know what no one talks about? The border wall saves lives because the most vulnerable women and children can’t get over that wall, which means they’re going to a place where there’s not a wall, and what’s waiting are the men and women of the United States Border Patrol who will take care of those humanitarian needs to help.
We just followed numbers. Let’s quickly talk about a few numbers that are important. Under the Biden administration, we averaged over 11,000—many days over 12,000, some days 15,000—illegal entrants into the United States. Do you know what the number was in the last 24 hours? 178. From 15,000 to 178, unprecedented success.

Homan also said that starting today, not registering with the DHS is a crime:
Registration requirements under 8 U.S.C. § 1302, if you’re an illegal alien in the United States, this message is for you.
You cannot hide from ICE, we’re actively looking for you. Federal law requires every alien present in the U.S. more than 30 days to register. For those 14 years and older, you need to be fingerprinted with the Department of Homeland Security. Federal law requires every alien in the United States to tell DHS in writing if you have a change of address within 10 days of changing it. Failing to register with DHS, or not telling DHS about a change of address are criminal offenses and will be treated as such, starting today.
Make no mistake, if you’re in the country illegally and fail to do what the law requires, we’ll arrest you and deport you.
8 U.S.C. § 1253, if you’re an alien inside the United States with a final order, this message is for you. If you have a final order, the Trump administration is committed to enforcing our immigration laws, especially for those aliens who have received final orders of deportation. There are currently around 1.4 million illegal aliens who have been ordered removed, but remain here in violation of the law. We will aggressively prosecute, consistent with longstanding law, those aliens for failing or refusing to depart, or who take other related actions aimed at hindering removal.
You cannot open the door, you cannot answer our questions, you do not open your car door, you’re considered to be evading law enforcement.
If you fail to leave the United States after receiving a removal order, we can and will issue fines up to $998 a day. Evading your arrest, knowing you have a final order of removal, is a criminal offense. We will prosecute, and then we’ll deport you.
Get your affairs in order. If you’re in the country illegally, work with ICE, go to CBP-Home App, and leave on your own. Because if we have to find you and prosecute you, you will not be able to come back to this country, you won’t be able to come back on a visitor or tourist visa.
If you’re in the country illegally, get your affairs in order and work with us and get yourself removed from the country. That’s what the law requires, and we are going to enforce that law.

Homan told a reporter that America has around 20 million illegal aliens:
In response to a question about how many illegal aliens are currently in the U.S., he said: “At least 20 million.”
“We’ve been speaking about 12 million for 20 years,” he said. “We know we got 10.5 that we know of came to the border. How many don’t we know? I talk about known got-aways at 2 million. How many unknown got-aways?”
“I would get venture over 20 million. But your question is, but at last count, last I looked, there were about 700,000 illegal aliens with criminal charges walking the streets of this country. 700,000. And that’s what we’re looking for now. That’s what we’re prioritizing, them and national security threats,” he said.

fjb is a pos at best
Preach it!
Forget the 700,000 number. Every single illegal alien here is a criminal and every single one should be deported. No exceptions
Yes
Because they all are costing this. Nation it’s soul, blood and treasure
They ALL must leave
And it doesn’t make the other side any more sane of you don’t pick up mom from Rosita’s restaurant
They are publicly promoting and protesting the removal of a MS-13 Gang member that murders, rapes, steals , tortures, child traffics on orders… and beats up his wife
AND he’s NOT an American citizen!!!!
They ALL must go, we will never have a better time
I know the judiciary will proclaim your work unconstitutional, but they are paid stooges, we must push through,
We must resist the enemies proclaimed illegal activities towards saving America
Due process with illegals means
The Process is Due man
Let’s roll
Yeah I get where you’re coming from but I’d like to start with the 700k that have broken laws while they were here.
Well, that would be great, but we might be running in circles
Everyone of them has broken the law by breaking into our country…
Do the math. If you were able to find and deport 1M illegals a year it would take at least 20 years to get rid of those already here. The democrats and media would weep and cry and rend their clothes over each and everyone. It would be a complete circus as it is now.
The only way to get rid of them is to get the, to self-deport. Also, you go after the employers, All employers. You put in jail time for hiring illegals, not just fines.
You also require all healthcare to report immigration status of all patients or face loss of license and accreditation. You require all schools to report immigration status of all students and their parents or face loss of accreditation and federal funds. Also jail time for failing to comply.
Finally you deny any and all benefits to illegals.
Everyone has to get onboard. None of this sanctuary BS. Good luck with that.
This is why I want to start with the hardened criminals. You will get less resistance upchucking them out. No one wants to deal with or live around them.
And if we lose the House, oh dear God, but when you think it’s an everyday occurrence when people are stripping and now shitting on aircraft, not a stretch
And at that point, we maybe at Civil War.
Better to get out the NUMBERS NOW, so we do t have to fight and be murdered by more than the 700,000.
“We handed the Biden administration, after President Trump’s first administration, the most secure border in my lifetime, and they unsecured it on purpose.”
One of a long list of American advantages that Joe Biden destroyed on purpose, including our energy independence, our personal privacy, our judicial system, our automobile industry, our cross-intersectional tolerance, our freedom from censorship, our riot-free cities, our national morality, and our international stature and dignity.
We should impeach that wilted vegetable just because.
You forgot our military.
Which is very compromise, our military and THTs scary as all hell but truth
After seeing the police stand by while women and elderly MAGA supporters were being attacked, especially in 2015,2016, I knew we were in terrible trouble
And stand for the blue line? Hmm not toll they clean out their own ranks.
One could reasonably conclude that since they are supported and protected by their home countries as they cross our borders; that we have grounds if we wish to regard them as hostile, foreign invaders violating our sovereign borders. Such is a cassus belli, and we would be justified in taking steps up to and including the use of deadly force to protect our people and territory and further actions against those countries of origin.

I’d like to mine the border especially because mines are an anathema to progressives who have worked so hard to eliminate them. Mine the land and the sea with well labeled lanes of access. Put dirigibles up into the air complete with suicide drones.
Start with Canada (I’d like to say), Okay start with southern border,
I travel NM on I-10 quite frequently. The big white dirigible over the border on the western section was a constant landmark. Until it disappeared after Biden took office.
DELIBERATE.
The Democratic Party under “Joe Biden” was implementing the California Model. They turned CA into a 1-party state back in the 1990s through the political power of migrants, and they want to do the same nationwide. Trump is trying to reverse the damage the Democrats did.
Not so sure Barky didn’t start it but Biden or minions certainly opened the gates.
Couldn’t Bondi go after any of the Biden hacks for treason with respect to the mass, unresisted invasion?
First, they’d have to prove that Biden was aware of any of it, or had actually made any of the decisions that led to it.
Given that the whole country knows that it was Biden’s aides that were affixing his signature by autopen without his knowledge or approval to 100% of his executive orders, pardons, and bills from Congress, Biden could easily avoid any consequences for anything that was done during the interregnum between Trump administrations.
Homan is a beast in a good way.
Obama did the same.
Obama started the flights from Central and South America, on US planes at federal taxpayer expense, to bring illegal aliens directly to the US interior, on the excuse that it would save them the “dangers” of the “walk” up here.
Hundreds of thousands of Illegal Aliens were brought here that way, including a shocking % that were unaccompanied minors.
Trump shut this down at the start of his first term. Biden’s handlers restarted it four years later under his name.
I would disagree with “first.” Has no one heard of the Oklahoma Land Rush? Where we get “Sooners” from?
Of course, that was letting Americans in….
