A very non-pretending Tom Homan appears on ABC This Week with Martha Raddatz to discuss the deportation operation currently underway. Martha asks the same question 4 or 5 different ways and keeps getting the same answer. She just can’t believe that illegal aliens are going to be deported. WATCH:
.

We need to arrest and deport 8,000 illegal aliens per day.
We have to AT LEAST double that. The good news is, once it ramps up, there’s a chance that some will self deport so they are not caught.
Benny Johnson posted a photo showing a traffic jam of self-deporteds at the border.
I think the self-deported numbers will be higher, perhaps significantly higher, than the numbers of arrests and deported. This mess may clean itself up to a large extent.
This should be easy. With all the deportations last week,
100%!!!Since last Monday everyone I know has been saying the same thing ” It’s all just common sense”!
Leverage those phones/apps to direct people to depart the country legally. Any who divest themselves of their phones and/or apps for tracking should be classified as fugitives.
Worked for the Eisenhower administration!
There’s very good incentive for “good” illegals to position themselves on the other side of the border in order to regain entry under legal process. If they have been tracked as having been here illegally but deported themselves? I can only imagine that it will count in their favor in the future. After all, many came here after being lied to by “NGOs” (government activists operating under NGO legal fictional entities) and by US state department information. Why should we blame them for being taken in?
After all, the doors to the Capitol were unlocked from the inside and Capitol police INVITED people inside.
We should not treat people who were invited in and then left the same as those who try to remain here illegally.
It’s absolutely outrageous for you to equate American Patriots who were protesting the theft of the presidential election with illegal alien Invaders who know damn well that they are breaking the law when they come in.
Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback” in the 1950s resulted in most of those illegals self-deporting… once the money was cut off.
(Wetback nickname from swimming the Rio Grande to sneak in.)
We need to concentrate on their NGO supporters, their sources of welfare and income. Once the money dries up, they will self deport.
the proverbial “all of the above”
400 million to the Catholic Church the last 4 years.
Despicable.
Self-deportation is in the best interests of any illegals who hope to become legal in this country. If they are non-criminals, maintain their US legal contacts (potential sponsors) and otherwise keep their profiles low? There’s a very good chance they could come in legally and with the help of sponsoring activists.
We may not like it, but if the activists use legal processes, then it’s lawful and “OK.” We still have to respect the law as much as we expect illegals to respect the law.
Wrong again. There’s actually a quote of 1 million legal immigrants per year. You were talking about 30 million people and they don’t have a right to just come in here simply because they fill out paperwork.
Take a look at the immigration policies of practically every other country on Earth and you will see that they pick and choose.
Quota. And it’s too darned high at 1 million.
back of envelope. presumption: 10-20 Millions illegals in country.
how many would be reported inside of the next 4 years to export the 20 million figure, daily?
lets go big.
4 yrs is 1460 calendar years (it’s actually less than 1400 if you factor in vacations and paid federal holidays…oh yeah…lets not forget the federal agencies human factors. so we go with 1300 actual “work days? ( think about this is other ways too).
.
we presume the number to be 20 million…that’s probably accurate….
20 M / 1300 days
15384.61 people per day REMOVED FROM US SOIL AND TERRITORY.
let me make it more clear: 15 Thousand, 3 hundred and Eighty Four individuals, persons
noting: persons, NOT PEOPLE..that has constitutional meaning…you are “people”..these illegal are NOT. The LAW IS CLEAR..we don’t have to entertain new woke vocabulary…we have the meaning, and is obvious and legally evident! These illegals are NOT PEOPLE..they are persons. big big difference. We will win this at SCOTUS in mid summer in my prediction/ The claims to obfuscate meaning of context will fail. We have the receipts/
God Bless America
also noting: In the state of Mississipi, yes, that muddy waters state so called back water, has advanced a new bill.
background: once a prominent economic engine of agriculture, MS has fallen away by the effect of “globalism”. (the leadership abandoned the ready and able labor market and substituted that interests for selfish reasons: cheap illegal sa migrants///say hello Elon on this topic//I dare you !!//
at present to economics of MS is miserable…cancer is an understatement.
a path forward is to remove all illegal “cheap” SA labor workers throughout the state..this will have two main results:
It will provide MS locals will jobs that they have never even been considered.
it will mitigate/reduce/interdict drug trafficking, sex trade, slavery, and promote state level pride on work and results.
I have an interest in MS. A dog in the fight as it were.
mexican illegals are a scourge to this state and this the time to end that.
God Bless America
hell Regi!! I thought you are a Connecticut Yankee!! Hahaha! Praise God!!! Fight! Fight! Fight!
There is a strange mix of RINOS and a few, very few true Republicans in the State House of Mississippi.
Beware of who our next governor may be…I understand that Tate is the glue holding this all together and that MS will not have a true MAGA person to elect in the near future.
Education in MS is a mess, and it’s a mess at all levels.
BTW, I’m not fond of school choice because it doesn’t cure the real problem. ALL schools need to be held accountable to high standards. Colleges, in many cases over the past 20 years have been focused on everything but preparing teachers. That has to change. I hope Trump will do more than give education a nudge. It will take finding real answers to real problems when it comes to education. It’s more of mess than the J6 show trials.
And, they have no desire to assimilate. Examples:(1) MIA on Cinco de Mayo. (2) fly flag from country of origin in their front yards
We need to get it done in two years. Don’t count on Republicans controlling Congress.
Consider the next President may be strongly MAGA. How would that affect the MAGA immagration program?
Plan for the worst,hope for the best.
He’ll have to clean up Canada after it’s admitted to the union.
This has been going on for decades. It’s far more than 20 million.
Minimum of 50 million.
Homan is a beast.
That is how many need to be removed from US soil. They can leave either on their own or via deportation, it doesn’t matter so long as they end up gone.
The more who self-deport the fewer ICE needs to round up, process and deport.
The greater the “shock and awe,” the more publicity over raids and deportation flights, the more TV appearances by Tom Homan… the more illegals will choose to self-deport.
If they can get the ratio up to say 20:1, with 20 self-deportations to every one removed by ICE then ICE will only need to eject about 730 per day vs. 14,600 leaving on their own.
Historically a significant portion of illegals only stay in the US for a few years anyway. Some come here permanently. But many illegals come here, stay for a while to make money, then go back home. Other illegals come in to replace those who left. Ending the pipeline of new illegals will make sure those who leave are not replaced by new arrivals. That will naturally make the overall population of illegals inside the USA taper down somewhat.
As more illegals exit by however they exit, those who remain will find it harder and harder to hide. They will start to stand out because there will no longer be a huge population to blend into. The organizations who shelter and enable illegal immigrants will begin to dry up and lose funding. The person-to-person networks that give illegals the info on where to go, where to stay, how to hide, all those will dry up. Meanwhile the mechanics of roundup, process, deport will be honed into a finely-tuned machine.
It is do-able. Not easy for sure, but do-able.
Self-deportation is a real side effect of aggressive enforcement. People getting fed up and going home because they can’t work is a way to get to that number as well.
However, if they are actually deported they cannot ever come back to USA and apply for citizenship.
shutting off the federal AND the NGO and the state funding “give aways” is a must.
just as President Trump has used his economic levers to compel foreign nation states to comply with sensible relations with the US, so too must he use the same strategies to deal with these three “agencies” who act against the interests of his policies.
I will be working with Team Trump to identify as many of the individuals and how they make money so he can target them.
God Bless America
Sounds good, but nor realistic. Real world constraints like lawfare suits, sanctuary cities/counties and Dem obstruction must all be dealt with. In due time, I expect the illegal population to self deport once they experience the night raids, house cleanings and then finally access to the jails and prisons. It’s not like they’re all lined up in stadiums waiting for the buses to take them to the airport. Instead of armchair quarterbacking what do you suggest President Trump and Mr Holman do to achieve that 8000 daily tally?
Bottom line:
Raddatz to America: “Every non-criminal on earth has a fundamental right to get into America.”
America to Raddatz: “Fck you!’
I love this man’s face! A real fighter’s face.
Tom, God bless him, is not in good health.
It noticeable.
This is not an attack on Tom. It is instructive.
we do not want to dispirit our warriors BY TRYING THEM against age. Semblance of good moral aptitiude is required here. TAKING NOTHING AWAY FROM TOM. NO Disrespect…none. Tom is a good man, but he is not at the top of his power… IT’s obvious. We need to focus on …fill in the blank (I feel somewhat ashamed/embarrassed to write in what I really feel…it/’s not cowardice..but it is a southern man thing..subtlety observes the elderly…that’s about as plain as I can be be without becoming a serious jackass/ MAMAW sez: never be a donkey. So I will not.
I have 4 people who can do this border security and tiddy it up. These are people who are KNOWN…maga, Christian, and have scars to prove it.
God Bless America
Why do you say he is not in good health? He appears fine.
I totally agree. I have no idea what this person is talking about.
He is fine or President Trump would not have appointed him Border Czar.
This has been planned a long time ago.
What on earth are you saying? I think he’s the perfect man for the job. Is he a smooth talking Harvard lawyer? No, but that’s not what you need for this role. You can tell that he’s a nuts and bolts guy with a good understanding of the core issues. And every once in a while, he’ll surprise me by reciting the law that they’re violating or explaining something in greater detail. He seems very relatable to a large portion of the country…a normal person and not one of these phony Washington, D.C. types.
“I feel somewhat ashamed/embarrassed to write in what I really feel…it/’s not cowardice..but it is a southern man thing”
I doubt that you speak for most “southern men.”
Unless you mean south of the border.
regitiger — has your account been hijacked?
“southern man thing”
you mean he’s a southern man?
or you’re a southern man?
and what characteristic of “southern man” are you alluding to?
and is it actually “a thing”?
Weird, right? Perhaps in the end, we are all internet strangers. 🙁
Ah yes.. the spark of divinity.
Seems Martha likes human trafficking when its coming into the country, not so much when its reversed.
Stand strong Mr. Homan
She was so fixated on, how can you afford deporting them all? How can we not I say, much cheaper than paying for their monthly rent or boarding them, feeding them, healthcare, etc x 10 million plus of them. And, they’re here ILLEGALLY!!! Plus all of the killing, stealing, robbing, etc etc. Good riddance.
The disconnect with these people is incredible. They’re always obsessed with deportation costs and the cost to build a wall…but, but it will cost billions to deport them and billions more to construct a wall. Isn’t it already costing billions giving them assistance, free cell phones, hotel rooms, social services, etc.? They have absolutely no concern when our tax dollars are being squandered on something that 65% of the population opposes.
All of the Debit cards and food stamp cards that the illegals had given to them should be de-activated.
Doing that might make them leave quicker.
Cell phones too,ha
Oooh, I LIKE LOVE that idea!!!
Dang it, not to be uncharitable and all but Martha, you is sure ugly inside and out. Go and find Jesus and ask him to heal you.
She needs devils casted out of her.
Put a stake in these MSM talk fests.
That woman’s face is just plain ugly no matter how much makeup she plasters on. Probably because the evil comes from inside. She and Murkowski look a lot alike.
Another Lizard like NY Gov. Hocol, look at her Throat.
She is a hideous creature.
JMO.
Deporting the 42,000,000 illegals out of the USA is a national security priority.
Letting the 42,000,000 illegals remain in the USA will be as bad as not treating a festering wound …….. it is not going to get better over time, only worse.
President Trump’s emergency declaration is an indication of the seriousness of the situation. Communist biden allowed the cartels’ multi-million soldier invasion force to enter the USA, unopposed. That wasn’t done to have them pick fruit. Is their objective forcibly occupying part of the southern USA?
Only one of the 4 border states have a state government fighting the invasion…. that would be Texas. The governors of New Mexico, Arizona and California are playing the role of communist “useful idiots”.
The MAGA / America First movement has the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and the best leader President Trump. It is time to leverage those majorities and close the borders and repel the invaders out of the country.
Tom Holman and Pete Hegseth are a good team to implement President Trump’s orders …. to get the necessary military forces in place. The line of forts along the southern border were put there for a reason. They just need to be manned.
In 2025, expect some skirmishes around the country as small units of illegals set about causing havoc.
42 million, that means it would’ve been: Trump 77.3 million to Harris’s 75 -42 for 33 million which would’ve been Tump 77% Harris 33% — I think that’s probably the real number!!
How can I remove the annoying conservative treehouse video player which is taking up a quarter of my iPad . It makes reading the conservativetreehouse.com web site very difficult.
I agree 100%. The Conservative Treehouse video player takes up a quarter of my computer screen and there is no option to get rid of it. I sent an email asking for help. Everyone, please let the website administrator know if it’s a problem for you too so that they will do something about it.
I link to the Tree House via Brave. So far no ads and no video players.
Ditto, I have no idea what video player they are talking about.
I, too, would like the answer to this. There is no way to close it.
the “answer to this” is:
use a different browser
as has been pointed out by tens of Treepers the past couple days
Deport the video player.
What is with all these women who are so pro allowing anyone into the country!!!
Perhaps an illegal needs to spend some time dishing out a taste of what innocent Laken Riley encountered. Perhaps these ladies would change their tune then…
They make me sick to my stomach with their ugliness, inside and out, on display.
Leftists (both genders) don’t actually care about illegals, or anyone. They promote narratives. That’s all she’s doing here. They are all so predictable and boring.
^^^^
I think it is that most liberals are women. Do I have proof of this? No. It is just my observation. However, an example is the US Congress. Am I wrong when I observe that most of the women in the house of Representatives sit on the left side of the aisle? In the Senate, there are 26 women which is highest percentage ever by the way. Of the 26, 16 are Democrats.
Capture them, deport them. No detention.
Put the military on the border, not for logistics support for BP, but to repel invasion.
We need at least 100x number of military troops
on the border. The recent number deployed is
not enough. Not even close.
Logistics, processing and security.
💁♀️ 🤷♀️
perhaps more important than simple manpower:
I suggest Humvee patrols with mounted 50-cals along the border
The number of people illegally coming over our southern border has to be considered an invasion. That being said, I believe that several dead invaders hanging on she southern side of the border fence would almost certainly be a deterrent to others. A Humvee patrol would help facilitate that.
Come on, Homan. There is an illegal alien residing in Martha’s Vineyard with a stolen social security number, a forged birth certificate and forged draft registration application. Proven!!!
Or is he in Hawai’i… or in the Kalorama section of D.C.?
I can’t take this harpy…
She’s just another MSM Space Cadet.
I keep waiting for Team Trump to say “Fear? Fear of getting arrested is an excellent way to prevent crimes like illegal immigration. Am I worried about people being afraid? No. We’re in this mess because immigration enforcement has been a pathetic joke. If you don’t want to be afraid, don’t come here illegally.”
SEND ALL ILLEGALS BACK TO COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
FELONS FIRST.
THEN THE REST.
I believe that is the plan.

Homan and Dr. Phil were in my town
back in December. Below is the video.
I read that they were
headed to Chicago after they left!
Recommend watching….please share….lots of information
that may be useful for some.

Raddatz is the insufferable Libtard who challenged Vance a couple of months ago on the acceptability of Tre de Aragua taking over “just a few” apartment buildings in Colorado and Texas. She might be the worst, TBH… she’s PBS material on steroids with a Turbo Shot…
That was a great clip with Vance. She’s like “just a handful.” And Vance responded with…”do you hear yourself Martha?? Just a handful of apartments have been taken over by Venezuelan gangs.” These news people are batshit crazy!
She has a face for radio.
Martha must have gone home that night and bawled her eyes out. I do otherwise.😂😂😂😂
It’s great to see men in charge.
Awesome man. Not just talk. It’s happening. The message is delivered.
Our laws are to be respected.
We are firm. We are consistent. We are determined.
Interviews like these need to stop. It will be cut and paste into petitions for temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions.
Forcibly-deported illegals should be tattooed or branded or something on their foreheads so they are instantly recognizable if they return and be banned forever from returning and from future citizenship.
Self-deported can leave and get in line to come back in legally.
I am encouraging all the illegals that I know in East Los Angeles to self-deport and at some future date come back the legal way. Some get angry at me, others weep, others are too drunk to listen to me.
Pool time! Get your money out. The pool is: in which state will the first state or local official be arrested for interfering with ICE? I think Illinois is trying real hard to be the lucky winner.
Yay Tom!!
Tom is so cool.
deport her for stupidity….
Put all the illegal aliens in HER HOUSE.
Man, that is one ugly woman. How does she stay on the air in this age of glamour and vanity. And she’s a screeching feminist along with her bad looks.
And I wish people would STOP saying “Democratic” Party! It’s the “Democrat” Party. It’s never been the “Democratic” Party. They do not use that language. That’s like saying the “Republianic” Party. Makes no sense.
Tom Homan is the spine that the first Trump admin lacked. Thank God he is there now to save this one.
If it was illegal for illegal immigrants to cross the border, what about American(s) who facilitated it? ~ [Mayorkas]
good interview with Homan today on Fox
worth a view if someone can post a link
Before the first Trump administration, the estimates of illegals was between 11 and 14 million illegals in the US. After the first term, I am unclear what the estimates were. But during the Biden administration, there was unprecedented levels of illegals coming across the border (10,000+/day?) + uncountable “got aways”+those who completely escaped notice. With this, plus flights of unknown rates, I find it HARD to believe the estimate is still 11 million.
I would find an estimate of 20 million to be more reasonable but that’s just my biased view. But it is not my biased view that it’s definitely higher than 11 million as there is no evidence that the number of illegals in the US was significantly reduced under Trump’s first term. That is to say there were no “mass deportations” during the first Trump term as there are under the second.
I have to say, the more I see Tom Holman in pressers, interview appearances, the more he looks like an enforcer for the mob… In Trump’s terms, “He is central casting” and the bonus is he’s effective, experienced and determined. The illegals ought to be frightened and start packing up. There’s zero sky between them and their deportation.
Raddatz sounds like she has the IQ of 50.
How can ABC continue to employ her? She’s also ‘aged out’. She looks like she could be Susan Collins’ sister.
MR TOM HOMAN….. what a great choice for Border Czar, and what a GREAT job that he is doing!!! Tne only credit that Martha can take is to even try to stay in the conversation….. so many of the media come to a “battle of wits, complete unarmed”. IMESHO, the FCC needs to speak with ABC, SEEBS, and NBC and school them on what “quality in broadcasting” really means, and discuss requirements for maintaining a broadcast license.
Honestly, Marth looks and sounds like a man in drag. Let’s call it like it is.
Raddatz questions the cost of this Operation; how much has it cost the US taxpayer to feed, clothe and house these monsters?
I love that Trump stood up to Columbia’s protests with tarriffs and got Columbia to fly their illegals home at their expense- NOT ours. Another win for the President.
that’d be Colombia
Columbia is a leftist university in New York where they let Hamas supporters run wild
Can someone tell me why this is not being enforced?

should charge Mayorkas and minions with that
Fox News just showed a 10-sec clip of Fauci yammering about
“natural spillover from an animal reservoir”
Lefty comedian Jon Stewart actually had one of the best takes on this
With a fey demeanor and Dr Evil pinky finger to his lip:
“Maybe it was a … … … pangolin?”
commentator Cliff Sims just asked
“Y’know, if there was an outbreak of chocolatey goodness in Hershey, Pennsylvania, don’t you think it would be reasonable to suspect … yada yada?
The message for the illegal law breakers is clear.
“… we’ll get it in one trip!”
