Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan makes several really good points in this interview on Fox News.   Regarding the number of “criminal illegal aliens” being reported, Homan notes that multiple large areas consider themselves “sanctuary cities” and do not report the immigration status of their jail/prison inmate population.

Homan also notes that if mayors and officials within sanctuary cities do not support the capture of criminal aliens, they will end up creating a system where both criminal and non-criminal aliens are captured and deported.  As the agents look for the criminal aliens, they will not overlook the immigration status of anyone they encounter – regardless of criminal activity.

Tom Homan also notes they will need money for the deportation operation.  This ties in well to the segment with Stephen Miller, where the Deputy Chief of Staff outlined an early immigration bill with border security money upfront.  WATCH:

Stephen Miller appears on Fox News to discuss the priorities of the President Trump administration and the objectives of the first 100 days.

As outlined by Miller, domestic security, safety and immigration policy will lead the first legislative effort between the White House and congress.

As Senior Policy Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller is hopeful the most transformative immigration bill in the past 50-years will be the first legislative victory for President Trump during his second term.  From there, the legislative focus shifts to taxes, extension of the 2017 tax cuts in combination with regulatory reform.  WATCH:

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is very concerned that President Trump will return the illegal migrants to Mexico.  Perhaps Mexico should have thought about this before allowing millions of illegal migrants to travel through their country on the way to the U.S. southern border.

President Sheinbaum is now telling people she wants an agreement with President Trump so that her country does not suffer from millions of illegal aliens swarming Mexico.  The irony is too thick.

ASSOCIATED PRESS – MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president said Thursday she will ask President-elect Donald Trump to deport non-Mexican migrants directly to their home countries, rather than dumping them at the Mexican border.

President Claudia Sheinbaum said she hopes to reach an agreement with Trump so that “they send people who come from other countries to their countries of origin.”

Mexico, like any other country, is not obligated to accept non-Mexican migrants, but it has agreed to do so in the recent past, especially from countries like Cuba and Venezuela, which often refuse deportation flights from the United States, but may accept them from Mexico.

The reactions to President Trump’s border security tariffs are not quite as funny from Canada, as they were Mexico, but they are still funny.

A subdued and despondent Justin Trudeau said he and President Trump spoke last night, and he stresses the importance of the bond and relationship; you know, the ‘feels’.  WATCH:

PM Trudeau tells reporters he had a phone call with US President-elect Trump after Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on all Canadian products.

Very smart strategy here.  The “Border Czar” position gains authority and power directly from the office of the president.  The “Border Czar” is a special presidential appointee with specific instructions and charged authority.  There is no confirmation process for a “czar” position, who operates with the power granted by the Office of the United States President.

Many people wanted to see Homan as DHS Secretary, but this is actually a more foundational and targeted job.

Solid move, because Tom Homan can work with Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Bureau of Prisons, as well as FBI, State and local law enforcement.

Don’t forget to eat your winnamins.

CBS’ 60 Minutes ran a lengthy outline earlier this evening consisting of questions to former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan about how President Trump will deport millions of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s illegal aliens.  [Article with Video Here]

The sympathetic CBS framework is essentially what you would expect: (1) the illegal aliens are earnest people, part of a poor huddled mass; and (2) there’s no humanitarian way to deport millions of them.  [Video Segment]  Tom Homan does a great job dispatching the narrative engineers of CBS.

Cecilia Vega asks: “Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?”

“Of course there is. Families can be deported together,” says Tom Homan, head of ICE during Trump’s family separation policy. https://t.co/If9G1sNEzj pic.twitter.com/TIWhi25Vdu

There were an estimated 11 million illegal aliens in 2006.  According to CBS the current number of illegal aliens is still 11 million.  That’s their story and they are sticking to it.

VIA CBS – […] The American Immigration Council estimated that it could cost $88 billion annually to deport one million people a year. The removal of millions of construction, hospitality and agriculture workers could reduce the U.S. gross domestic product by $1.7 trillion.

Tom Homan, who led U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the first Trump administration, said he doesn’t know if the $88 billion a year cost estimate is accurate, but he says mass deportation is necessary.

“What price do you put on national security? Is it worth it?” Homan said. (read more)

In a very revealing ABC This Week interview Sunday, ABC host Martha Raddatz attempted to carry water for the Biden/Harris administration, when she said, “only a few apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs” in Aurora, Colorado.  JD Vance began his rebuttal by saying, “do you hear yourself talk, Martha?”….  The exchange quickly went downhill from there as Martha realized she just stepped on a rake.  WATCH:

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement data shows that amid the illegal aliens Biden and Harris have let into the country, among those not in ICE detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals and 222,141 with pending criminal charges.

Within those numbers, 62,231 convicted of assault, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 56,533 with drug convictions and 13,099 convicted of homicide. An additional 2,521 have kidnapping convictions and 15,811 have sexual assault convictions.  There are an additional 1,845 with pending homicide charges, 42,915 with assault charges, 3,266 with burglary charges and 4,250 with assault charges. {LINK}

That’s the context for the most transparently political game of policy reversal in modern history.  After years of advocating for open borders, pushing policies that have led to tens of millions of illegal aliens, and denouncing efforts to keep the border secure, Kamala Harris has the nerve to travel to the southern border and pretend she cares about border security.

US Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris visits the border town of Douglas, AZ Friday while apparently wearing a $62,000 Tiffany & Co. necklace. [VIDEO LINK] 

New York Post – […] It was her first visit to the beleaguered southern border since a 2021 visit to El Paso, Texas, four months after President Biden named her border czar.

She called out her rival, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for “fanning the flames of fear and division” over immigration, while Trump slammed Harris as “totally incompetent” after news broke of federal data released the same day showing more than 15,000 illegal immigrants currently living in the US are convicted or accused of homicide.

As remarkable as it sounds, the Kamala Harris hypocrisy on the border issue was even too much for CNN.

In California roaming groups of military-aged illegal migrants have been caught trying to take control of school busses full of children [STORY HERE].  Parents of the children formed defensive perimeters to block the takeover, but the school districts are warning parents to be on alert.

Meanwhile, as a result of the Biden-Harris administration allowing millions of illegal migrants into our country, the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has now taken over part of the suburbs of Denver, CO.  “Parts of the city are absolutely under this gang control. The local media is downplaying this. I believe politics is being played with people’s lives. … Nothing is being done to help the American citizens that are being trapped under this gang’s control.”- Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky said.

Aurora Colorado Mayor Mike Coffman confirmed to Fox News that part of his city is now under the control of criminal gangs from Venezuela. “So there are several buildings that are actually under the same ownership, out of state ownership, that have fallen to these Venezuelan gangs,” Coffman stated.

“You’ve had a third of the country leave. You’ve had these massive waves of migrants coming across the border that many of them crossed the border illegally, were arrested, asked for political asylum, were not adequately vetted, were released into the country. The city of Aurora. We did everything we could to, quite frankly, keep them out of out of the city.”  See Video:

Aurora Police Dept Statement – “UPDATE: The city and Aurora Police Department, as previously stated, established a special task force in collaboration with other local, state and federal partners to specifically address concerns about Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) and other criminal activity affecting migrant communities. We are grateful that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), a valuable federal partner, has acknowledged its ongoing work into TdA across the metro and appreciate the additional resources it provides to combat this issue. #APDNews
