“Border Czar” Tom Homan joined Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in the briefing room Monday morning to tout the administration’s success in securing the border during the first 100 days of President Trump’s second term.
During the press conference, Homan ripped into former President Joe Biden, accusing him or whoever was actually running his administration of purposely putting the entire nation at risk by destroying border security.
“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,” Homan began.
“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,” he said.
“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 continued.
“There have been studies done: 30% of women who make their journey with the cartels get sexually assaulted. When Trump’s immigration policies are in place, it’s 6%—96% fewer people are coming — women are not being sexually assaulted by the cartels. How many children are not dying making the journey? How many women and children are not being sex trafficked in this nation? How many known suspected terrorists are not making it into this country? How many pounds of fentanyl aren’t getting into this country to kill young Americans? How many women and children are not being sex trafficked?” he asked.
“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,” the border czar continued.
“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,” he said.
