Tom Homan, the border czar, recently expressed grave concerns regarding the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the border crisis, labeling it as the most alarming situation he has encountered in his four-decade career.
Speaking on Fox News' "Hannity," Homan highlighted the potential dangers posed by the current border policies, especially in light of recent U.S. military actions against Iranian nuclear sites. The possibility of retaliatory threats on American soil has heightened the urgency of addressing border security.
As reported by the Daily Caller, Homan's apprehensions are shared by other prominent figures, including DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Sean Hannity, the show's host, posed a poignant question to Homan, asking, "If the average American, if everyone watching the show tonight knew what you knew... how scared would they be?" Homan's response was unequivocal: "This is the biggest concern Ive ever had." He cited the alarming statistics of fentanyl-related deaths, a 600% increase in sex trafficking, and the arrest of individuals on the terrorist watch list at the border as evidence of the crisis's severity.
Throughout President Joe Biden's tenure, Republicans have consistently sounded the alarm over the influx of illegal migrants. The numbers are staggering, with millions entering the country and an estimated 1.9 million "gotaways" by mid-2024.
A House Judiciary Committee report from October 2024 further underscores the gravity of the situation, revealing that over 1.7 million migrants encountered at the southern border were flagged as potential national security threats. Among the eight million illegal migrants who have entered the U.S. since January 2021, at least 382 individuals were identified on the U.S. terrorist watchlist.
Homan's concerns are not unfounded. "This scares the hell out of me," he stated emphatically. "If you dont think a single one of them didnt come here to do us harm, then youre a moron." His remarks underscore the urgent need for a robust response to the border crisis, a sentiment echoed by many who believe that President Donald Trump's leadership is crucial in addressing these challenges.
Homan expressed confidence in Trump's ability to tackle the issue head-on, stating, "Thank God we got President Trump sitting in the White House because hes going to take this on 100%."
The Department of Homeland Security recently reported the arrest of 11 Iranian illegal migrants, including an individual with a background as an Iranian Army sniper. This development further highlights the potential security risks associated with the current border situation.
Under President Trump's administration, significant strides were made in curbing illegal border crossings. Within his first 100 days, daily encounters fell by 93%, and migrant crossings decreased by an impressive 99.99%, according to the White House. These statistics serve as a testament to the effectiveness of Trump's border policies and the need for continued vigilance in safeguarding the nation's borders.
