Appearing on Tuesday, November 26 alongside Gov. Greg Abbot (R-TX) to serve meals to troops stationed at the border over Thanksgiving, incoming border czar Tom Homan spoke about the incoming Trump Administration’s plans to fight for border security. He also praised Gov. Abbott’s “unprecedented success” in securing the Texas-Mexico border.
Further, he issued warnings to those Democratic governors and mayors who are saying they will resist the Trump Administration’s deportation efforts, warning that he will treat them quite severely. As background, Governors in Arizona, Illinois and Massachusetts have pledged to resist the deportation efforce, and the mayor of Denver recently said he was willing to go to jail to oppose the plan.
Homan, commenting on the matter, warned them not to commit felony violations that would be punished most severely by the incoming administration. He said, “I’ve said 100 times in the last week, don’t cross that line. It’s a felony to knowingly harbor and conceal illegal alien from immigration authorities – don’t test us.”
Praising Gov. Abbott’s border defense efforts during the event, and thanking the troops deployed in the area, Homan said, “You’re not just protecting Texas, you’re protecting the entire country.” He added, “Governor Abbott has done an amazing job. Illegal immigration in Texas is down 86%, 86% think about that. This is a model we can take across the country. We’re going to help Governor Abbott finish the job he started,” he said.
Homman also commented on what will happen during the Trump Administration, saying in no uncertain terms that the administration is aiming for mass deportation to correct what occurred under the Biden disaster, saying, “Let me be clear, there is going to be a mass deportation because we just finished a mass illegal immigration crisis on the border.”
He added that there’s no other solution, saying, “If we don’t do it, what is the option? Let them stay? Cause if you let them stay, you’ll never fix the border. You’re gonna send a message to the rest of the world: enter the country illegally, which is a crime, ignore a court order … we’re telling the whole world it’s OK to enter this country illegally, you’ve never got to go home.” Watch Homan here:
Posting a clip of Mr. Homan’s speech to the deployed guardsman on X (formerly Twitter), Epoch Times reporter Darlene Sanchez wrote, “Eagle Pass—Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan promises mass deportation of illegal immigrants while speaking to guardsmen and law enforcement in Texas.”
Replying to Sanchez’s post, one commenter said that she is very much looking forward to watching Homan go after the illegal immigration problem, writing, “I am so looking forward to Tom Homan being officially on the job. I have confidence that he will tackle the problem and solve it very quickly.”
Another commenter on a different post wrote that every day already feels like a dream with this administration coming into office, saying, “It’s gonna happen. I can barely believe it. Every day is like a dream. I’ve been told lies for 65 years. Please, Lord, keep this president and his administration safe.😁”
