AmFest crowd cheers on incoming border czar Tom Homan’s promise to end the chaos and killing of the border crisis

“Joe Biden is the first president in the history of this nation who came into office and unsecured a border on purpose—not by mismanagement, not by incompetence. They unsecured a border by design. The first day I smiled when President Trump won this election, I woke up the next morning and I was happy. I smiled for the first time in a long time, then I got angry again, because even though [the Democrats] lost the election, they're still moving thousands of illegal aliens into this country every day … They're selling pieces of the border wall, for God's sake, that you, the American taxpayers, paid for at a hefty price. And now we’ve got to buy it again.

“There is no smooth transition. They’re going to destroy this country up to the last day they’re in the Oval Office.

“But I got news: on January 20, the greatest president in my lifetime is going to walk into the Oval Office and take this country back,” Homan said, recalling how President Trump called him a few Fridays ago and said, ‘Okay, you’ve been bitching about the border for four years. You want to come fix it?’ I said, ‘Absolutely, I’m back.’”

Homan blamed the criminal cartels in Mexico for killing “more Americans than every terrorist organization in the world combined, over a quarter million young Americans that died from fentanyl poisonings … President Trump’s gonna hold Mexico accountable for not doing anything about these criminal cartels. President Trump is going to designate them terrorist organizations,” he said.

Homan noted that sex trafficking at the border went “up over 600 percent” under Biden and over 300 terrorists were apprehended. While Trump ended catch-and-release policies, “Joe Biden released at least eight million illegal aliens into this country in violation of federal law. And I said it before: for the millions of illegal aliens that have been released into this country in violation of federal law, you’re going home, and Tom Homan will make sure that happens.”

Homan said he is going to follow through on Trump’s plan “to make this country safe again. President Trump is going to make our border great again. President Trump is going to decrease illegal migrant crime at unprecedented rates, because out of the gate, day one, we’re going to focus on public safety threats and national security threats. They’re first. They’re coming first. And Tren de Aragua, your days are numbered. My gang’s bigger than your gang. And we’re going to take you out of the country. We’re going to deport you out of here.”

The border czar promised to get right to work in Chicago, where he has already said the work of deportations will begin. And he’s not worried about Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s opposition, whom he says is “not a real bright guy.” But Homan says if Johnson doesn’t want him there, he can “come get me.”

Homan blasted the billions of dollars that cities are spending of taxpayer money to look after illegals. “That’s not the way it’s supposed to be, folks. It’s not okay to be in this country illegally. It’s not okay to enter this country illegally. It’s a crime to enter this country illegally. Now let me continue to educate sanctuary cities. You want to not help, fine. Shame on you. If you don’t want to protect your communities, shame on you. But we’re going to do it for you. You’re not going to stop me. We’re coming. So put up all the roadblocks you want; we’ll knock them down.”

The border czar said he won’t be intimidated or stopped by sanctuary cities that, he said, put police officers, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, and even the entire immigrant community “at risk.”

“I’m gonna give you exactly what you don’t want. You don’t want us in jail, all right, so I’ll send a whole bunch of agents into your community, and we’ll find the bad guy. And when we find the bad guy, he’s probably gonna be with others, others that aren’t a priority apprehension. But guess what? They’re getting arrested too,” Homan said.
