The man whom Donald Trump has tapped to succeed Kamala Harris as border czar couldn’t be more perfect if he was sent over from central casting. Tom Homan is tough, plain-spoken, clear-sighted about what needs to be done to end the border crisis, and determined to do the job and do it right. As Matt Margolis noted here, “the left is already in an uproar” over Homan’s appointment, and the man himself, never one to shy away from a battle, on Friday made abundantly clear to his critics what they could expect from him.
Fox News reported Monday that Homan “has a clear message for any Democratic governors who oppose the planned mass deportation operation,” and it’s far from the blather to which we have grown dispiritingly accustomed over the years from establishment Republicans — you know, the nonsense about bipartisan cooperation and mutual efforts that the left gladly takes advantage of but never respects or reciprocates.
Instead, Homan came out swinging, saying of Democrat governors: “If they’re not willing to help, then get the hell out of the way because [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)] is going to do their job.”
There are going to be plenty of people whom Homan will need to get out of the way. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said recently that “every tool in the toolbox has got to be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents and protect our states and to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law as a basic principle.” Note that Healey didn’t just speak of protecting citizens, but of protecting “residents,” that is, any illegal migrant who happened to have made his or her way to the far-left Bay State. When Healey was asked if she would have state police aid in deportations of illegals, Healey was adamant: “No. Absolutely not.”
In a similar vein, California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared: “I want our president to succeed. And our job, my job, is not to wake up every single day and get a crowbar and try to put it in the spokes of the wheel of the Trump administration. I’m not naive either, and we’re pragmatic, and we will stand firm.”
Homan was skeptical, wondering aloud if at least some of this tough talk was mere bluster or else a refusal to accept the reality that others were having to face whether they wanted to or not: “They’re not going to say it, but with all the alien crime and the young women being sexually assaulted and murdered, some sheriffs have been coming forward and working with us behind the scenes.”
Regarding Healey’s defiance, Homan added, “If you don’t want to work with us, then get the hell out all the way, we’re going to do it. What it means is, rather than send 100 people to Boston, we’re going to send 200 agents to Boston. We’re going to get the job done. We have a mandate. I think the American people just gave President Trump a mandate. That’s why he’s elected — to secure the border, save lives, and deport people, especially national security threats and public safety threats. So if you’re not going to help us, step aside, but don’t get in our way, because there will be consequences.”
That was refreshing to hear in light of the fact that illegal migrants are, after all, illegal. While they affect righteous indignation at Trump’s plans, Healey and Newsom are aiding and abetting people who are breaking the law. As they are elected officials, this ought to be grounds for impeachment, but impeachment proceedings would require a healthy number of sane officials with the courage to pursue this, and such people seem to be lacking in both Massachusetts and California.
Homan also directly addressed some of the left’s most hysterical claims, explaining, “It’s not going to be a massive sweep of neighborhoods, it’s not going to be massive raids. It’s going to be a targeted enforcement operation.” However, he concluded with a simple warning: “If you’re in a country illegally, you’ve got a problem. There will be a massive deportation operation because we had massive never-seen-before illegal immigration, where 90% will be ordered removed. It’s common sense.”
Yes, it is. But the left has been at war with common sense and reality for years and is waging that war on numerous fronts. Homan appears ready for yet another front in that war to open up.
It’s been demoralizing these past four years especially, watching millions of
foreigners traipse over the border – right past the overwhelmed border
guards. The U.S. superpower never seemed so weak and ineffectual – all
with the backing of the U.S. government.
It is exhilarating to know that border czar Tom Homan – with the backing
of the new U.S. government under Trump – will not permit this.
And like Mr. Homan says ‘if you’re not going to help, then get the hell out
of the way because there will be consequences’.
MAGA!
I listened to Mark Levin last night (This guy is dynamite!!!). For many years I’ve thought that all babies born
in the U.S. are born U.S. citizens-whether from legal or illegal citizens, Anybody! You’re a legal citizen!!!
So of course IF you’re parents aren’t legal the U.S. WON’T SEPARATE CHILD FROM PARENTS! VOILA-
YOU ALL GET TO STAY! And then the parents become legal. and then they can bring their parents and
all of their children to become citizens. Oh Joy!! This has been happening-for years. Mark sez no! this
isn’t the law. It’s only an interpretation of the law.Thank you Mr Levin. What happens next?!?!
Immigrants are people who come thru the “gate” and are processed !
Illegal ALIENS are people who are here in violation of our border !!!
It is outrageous that we(Biden/Mayorkass/Harris) are giving food/clothing/shelter/medical care to Illegal Aliens !!!
Mike in Cedarburg
We should make it clear that these Dem governors are defending criminal aliens and those law breakers who have already been ordered out of the country by judges. Those angry young men of military age will be the first on their way out under Trump.
That Amerindian or Mexican American or whatever chick in the photo is cute. She rocks that cowboy hat. Come and arrest me for border jumping, babe, I’ll put my hands up.
Aim higher. Can she physically back her brother law enforcers? That’s my concern.
THE ACLU, THE ENEMY WITHIN, IS PLOTTING to save the ILLEGALS! They have Judges lined up to rule against Trump on many fronts and issues. (My FB page is full of ACLU agendas, and I only let them stay so I can comment against them.) They’re the ones that started the ASYLUM CLAIMS, and advising ILLEGALS to lie when interviewed. “Don’t say this… Don’t say that!”
CAGES VS. COFFINS. They’ll use the Separation of Families Sympathy Factor. Obama started it due to child kidnapping and lack of verification. Eventually, family are reunited. VICTIMS OF ILLEGALS are also separated from their family members by SIX FEET OF DIRT… FOREVER! Any tears, protests, ACLU protections, for them???
ILLEGALS claim they are leaving a violent country, and they are in fear for their lives, AND THEN THEY GO TO OUR MOST VIOLENT CITIES that have more crime than their entire country???
“IMMIGRANTS from all over the World, leave their Country due to the crime, corruption, and the lack of the Rule of Law, to come here, a Country envied for its Rule of Law. LEGALS stand in line to do it The Hard Way, The Long Way, The Right Way, and they’re very bitter at all the help given for THE ILLEGAL WAY when there was no one there to help them do it THE HONORABLE WAY! (Raised Right Hand with tears in their eyes. “I was all worth it.”) ILLEGALS, and their supporters, including the government aiding in the breaking of laws, demand that we overlook our Laws for them making exactly like the Lawless and Corrupt Country they just left!” sc
BIDEN WILL GRANT AMNESTY TO 30-40 MILLION before he leaves, since granting Legal status was their plan all along so they can realize their American Dream: ONE-PARTY RULE!
the ACLU is nothing more than another form of liberal neo-fascism. They’re a very destructive force in most regards.
by and large illegals do not come to america because they wish to be americans. they come for the smorgasboard of freebees that primarily the democrat party uses to induce the invasion. no country on the planet does this better.
i’ve known illegals who have been in our borders for years and years, can barely speak passible english, and no interest in assimulation as such is an insult to their mexican culture, and ultimately they loath the ‘weak’ gringo for stepping aside to the invasion. and YES illegals are voting for more hence the dem party’s endless hispadering!
open borders CA hands out $40 billion yearly in social services to illegals on the state level. counties and cities even more. the state’s lower education system is no. 48 of 50 as mexicans culturally do not embrace literacy or education by and large. america expends millions to translate everthing for them including voting ballots.
an acquaintance of mine used to substitute at a school in downtown los angeles where classes were taught in spanish as were the books. students sat on their asses when the (american) national anthem was played at assemblies which ended in VIVA MEXICO! VIVA!
people think CA is a one party state. It isn’t LA RAZA /UNIDOus is far more powerful than any fragments of the republican party.
they can “grant” “legal status” all they want, but unless it is in compliance with existing US Law, it won’ be binding. Every one of those phoney “grants” can and must be overturned.
There are protocols in place for legal entry (most have not complied) and for becoming a lawful resident.
To these “governors: promising to block enforcement of immigration law, that would be an obstruction of justice and perhaps conspiracy as well. Charge them then jail them/
They need to start charging, trying, convicting, and jailing them for conspiracy to pervert the law, which is exactly what they are doing.
Immigration is a Federal sphere and any interference in that by State officials is conspiracy to pervert.
Could these malcontents be changed with obstruction of justice? Will these infantile poltroons acting like scolded babies actually do their duty to their citizens suffering from crime, homelessness, displacement and economic disaster dealing with these unwanted parasites and prioritize them for a change.?And drop this phony TDS outrage.? Democrat voters need to smell what these jerks are shoveling and elect some adults. It’s embarrassing and annoying’
THERE WAS A TIME when the invasion was California and the American Southwest. You’ve heard the catchphrase ‘i didn’t jump the border, the border jumped me.’
Now the occupation is border to open border of all 48 contiguous states.
Here’s an example from open borders advocate Chuck Schumer’s NY:
But Nassau police were unable to detain the suspects because the crimes were not bail eligible.

New York: Five Illegal Migrants Escape After Being Released on Bail Following Jewelry Store Theft
Paul Bois
15 Nov 2024
Five illegal migrants escaped after being released on bail in the wake of a suspected jewelry store theft in New York’s Long Island.
The alleged suspects were part of a Chilean theft ring and were here in the United States illegally. Per ABC NY:
The crime happened Nov. 7 just after 3 a.m. in Woodbury, when according to Burglary Squad Detectives, six men — part of a sophisticated Chilean theft ring — entered Florique Florists on Jericho Turnpike by cutting through the roof, then they cut through a wall connected to Elegant Jewelers.
The group left without taking any merchandise, but police say that they used radio jammers to hide the alarm system.
All of the men, in the country illegally from South America and flagged as potential threats by Homeland Security, were arrested in Huntington the following day at a home they were renting. But Nassau police were unable to detain the suspects because the crimes were not bail eligible.
Hmm wha kind of state is that where breaking and entering and destruction of property and sructures is not a felony? Or maybe its only a felony for lawful residents?
Sum Ting is WOng heah.
They are not migrants. They are illegal aliens.
Someone who will guard the Border 24/7 and round up and return all those Illegal Aliens/Future Democrat Voters and Supporters back to where they came and maybe even send the Open Borders Democrats as well
Central casting indeed. Homan looks like he could be a bouncer at some low-dive bar, checking everyone’s ID at the door. Carry on, sir.
Not “checking” but only briefly viewing.
“whaddya meeeeen not doin muh JAWB? I dun looked at ever wunna dem.
I recently read an article that listed something like 400 American companies that had fired most of it’s American workers and had hired illegals to work instead. The reason for this is that they can pay them less, and the government (believe it or not) at the end of the year will give them a tax break for every illegal they hired. No joke, that is a real thing. Tyson foods in one of them.
I can only hope that it;s on the mans agenda to go into these places and make a clean sweep of all of the illegals that are working there and get rid of every single one of them, and fine the crap out of all of these companies that are doing this, and get American workers their jobs back. That would be a wonderful thing, and get people employed again that deserve to be rightfully employed.
Businesses are suffocating under marxist- driven taxes upon taxes and regulations. Lift these and make it so businesses can survive, and hire citizens again.
Can’t they also throw the executives of these companies in jail?
“The Left is in an uproar”. Of course. Uproar is their default setting. Much like the media reports that “Muslims are angry”. These are axioms that are just the baseline of their thinking, unless for either group, some current event momentarily takes away their rage, like mass murder of Jews, or some new loss of personal freedom.
In all my years, I’ve heard dems talk about the ‘rule of law’ all the while tromping on the Constitution. Well you dems, Immigration is a federal responsibility.
” “We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm” Is the line ready? Fire! them all back across the borders.
Do not overlook the fact the incoming border czar will be enforcing federal laws in which the state have no legal authority to interfere with.
Wouldn’t it be nice to see some state dare interfere with a federal law enforcement action and as a result, an FBI SWAT team shows up at the governor’s residence at 4AM and perp walk them out of their house?
The governor is the state’s chief executive and thus ultimately responsible for unlawfully interfering with a federal law enforcement action.
Do that one or two times and the so-called sanctuary cities would disappear in short order. And knowing how cowardly democrats tend to be, I can envision democrat governors throwing city mayors under a bus to save their own skin.
Why are the illegals called “illegal migrants” instead of “illegal aliens”?
How refreshing to have a Border Czar who means business instead of that incompetent monkey-faced liar Mayorkas.
If any semblance of America is to survive, it has to happen, whether or not the lefties like it, even though it disrupts the profits coming in to them through the border. They are ALL breaking the law and should be held accountable for what they’ve already done and say they will continue to do. They are TRAITORS. It’s as simple as that and should be booted out of office immediately, pending legal proceedings. Meanwhile, they’re just going to have to deal with the fact that it’s what we the people want, illegals OUT.
