Tom Homan isn’t here to play games. As Donald Trump’s pick for border czar, he brings a no-nonsense attitude and a wealth of experience to the role—qualities sorely lacking in recent years. Homan is unapologetically pro-enforcement, a refreshing shift after years of border policies that seemed more like a bad joke than serious governance.
Homan has made it crystal clear: under his watch, no illegal alien is safe from deportation. Naturally, liberals are in a full-blown panic. After four years of lax enforcement turning the southern border into a free-for-all, the idea of someone actually doing their job has sent the left into meltdown mode. Accountability at the border? For the Democrats, that’s practically a four-letter word. But for Americans who’ve been begging for law and order, Homan’s arrival is long overdue.
Speaking to The Daily Wire, Homan laid out his vision in no uncertain terms. “The law is clear,” he said. “We’ll give you a due process. You can have your day in court, but when you’re ordered removed, you’re going to leave, and we’re going to make you leave.” It’s a simple concept: follow the law or face the consequences. Unfortunately, it’s an idea that’s been alien to recent administrations.
But Homan isn’t just talking tough—he’s already taking aim at one of the biggest obstacles to enforcement: sanctuary cities. In a recent interview, he unloaded on the Democrat leaders who prioritize protecting illegal aliens over the safety of their communities. “What politician is saying, ‘No, I want public safety threats to remain in my community’? Give me a break,” Homan said, cutting straight to the heart of the issue. Sanctuary policies don’t just shield those who break the law—they actively endanger the very people these leaders claim to represent, including legal immigrants.
When federal agents enter sanctuary cities to arrest dangerous criminals, they inevitably encounter others who’ve slipped under the radar. The result? Even more deportations. Sanctuary policies, Homan explained, are a self-defeating disaster. “If you don’t have consequences, they’re going to keep coming,” he said. It’s common sense: rewarding illegal immigration with amnesty or turning a blind eye only worsens the crisis.
And speaking of amnesty, Homan couldn’t be clearer: it’s off the table. Offering mass amnesty, he warns, sends one unmistakable message: cross the border illegally, and you’ll still get to stay. That kind of thinking isn’t just wrong—it’s dangerous. “Amnesty means millions are going to come saying, ‘Look, I can cross the border illegally, lose my case, and still get to stay,’” Homan said. Not on his watch.
For Homan, enforcing immigration laws isn’t just about upholding the rule of law—it’s about fairness. Legal immigrants who go through the process, follow the rules, and contribute to society deserve better than to have their efforts undermined by those who cut the line. “I don’t go 200 miles an hour to get here because I don’t want a ticket. I don’t lie on my taxes. It’s not okay to be in this country illegally,” he stated. It’s a straightforward principle, but one that’s been all but forgotten.
Under Homan’s leadership, the southern border is poised for a seismic shift. The message is clear: illegal immigration will no longer be tolerated. Democrats who enabled this crisis with their open-border nonsense are scrambling to explain themselves, but the American people are done with excuses.
For years, the border has been a symbol of chaos and failed policy. With Homan at the helm, it might just become a symbol of something else: a country that finally takes its laws—and its sovereignty—seriously.
