Border Czar Tom Homan says southern border crossings are down by around 87 percent under President Donald J. Trump, as the new administration’s illegal immigration crackdown continues. “As we lock that border down, we’re taking money out of the pockets of the criminal cartels,” he told Fox News.
In addition to slashing illegal border crossings, the Trump administration has been moving to round up illegal aliens already present in the U.S. Homan, who has been helping to spearhead these efforts, says the authorities’ initial focus has been criminal aliens; however, he is stressing that anyone present in the country illegally falls within the purview of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“It’s a crime,” Homan said of those who are unlawfully present in the U.S., telling CNN such people are “supposed to be” nervous. “I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I’m in Switzerland illegally,” he explained.
Marco Rubio’s State Department has also been working to facilitate deportations, striking a “safe third country” agreement with Guatemala to take deportees from other countries, and striking a deal with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador to host migrant criminals and even U.S. citizens at his CECOT mega-prison.
