Remember when crossing our southern border illegally was as easy as taking a Sunday stroll? Well, those days are long gone, thanks to Trump’s border czar Tom Homan. The no-nonsense former ICE director has transformed what was once a humanitarian disaster into America’s most secure border in generations – and he’s got the numbers to back it up.
After four years of Biden’s “come one, come all” approach that saw over 11,000 illegal crossings daily (sometimes surging past 15,000!), today’s count? A mere 178 in 24 hours. That’s what real border security looks like, Americans. But hold on to your hats, because Homan is about to tell us something about the previous administration that might just make your blood boil.
When asked about the stark difference between Trump’s policies and Biden’s border approach, Homan didn’t mince words. He dropped a bombshell that confirms what many Americans suspected all along:
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
“Joe Biden was the first president in the history of the United States who came into office and unsecured the border on purpose,” said Homan, who has been working in border security for forty years under six presidents. “That’s just a fact.”
This isn’t some conspiracy theory from the fringes of the internet. This is from a man with four decades of border security experience serving under six different presidents, including Democrats like Obama and Clinton. And what makes Homan’s claim even more credible is that he specifically noted that “even President Obama and President Clinton took some steps to secure the border” because “they understood national security’s important.”
The Border Crisis Wasn’t an Accident
Let that sink in for a moment. According to one of America’s most experienced border officials, the chaos we witnessed for four years wasn’t due to incompetence or naive policy – it was intentional. The record-breaking surge of illegal immigrants, the overwhelmed border facilities, the national security risks – all part of a deliberate strategy.
“We handed the Biden administration, after President Trump’s first administration, we handed the Biden administration the most secure border in my lifetime, and he unsecured it on purpose,” Homan explained during a White House press briefing.
Many conservatives had suspected this for years, pointing to Biden’s Day One executive orders that halted border wall construction and ended Trump’s successful “Remain in Mexico” policy. But hearing it confirmed by a top official with decades of bipartisan experience gives the claim new weight.
Hotel Biden: $500 a Night on Your Dime
Perhaps the most infuriating part of Homan’s revelations wasn’t just that Biden opened the border – it’s how his administration deliberately manipulated the system to keep migrants in the country indefinitely.
“The Biden administration released millions of people into the United States… Why did they release people into the interior United States rather than put them into an ICE bed?” Homan asked rhetorically, before delivering the answer: “Why not put them in an ICE detention bed, $27 a night rather than a hotel room at $500 bucks a night? They did it on purpose.”
This wasn’t just wasteful spending – it was strategic. As Homan explained, migrants placed in ICE detention get hearings within 35 days, and “court records show, 9 out of 10 people who claim asylum get an order of removal, they’re gone.” But those released into the interior with hotel accommodations? Their cases drag on for “five, seven, nine years,” with the hope that “another Democrat administration is in power, they can award amnesty to millions.”
96% Better and Counting
The contrast with today’s border couldn’t be more stark. Under Trump’s second administration, illegal immigration is down a staggering 96% – and that number tells only part of the story.
“When 96% less people are coming, how many women aren’t being sexually assaulted by the cartel? How many children aren’t dying making that journey? How many women and children aren’t being sex trafficked into this nation?” Homan asked, highlighting the humanitarian benefits of actually enforcing immigration law.
The border czar didn’t hold back on his assessment of the current state of affairs: “Today, as I’m standing here, we have the most secure border in the history of this nation, and the numbers prove it. President Trump’s policies are saving lives every day.”
That’s a far cry from the previous administration’s approach of processing and releasing illegal immigrants into American communities with little oversight and court dates scheduled years into the future.
Key Takeaways:
- According to long-time border security expert Tom Homan, Joe Biden intentionally created the border crisis by reversing Trump’s successful policies on day one
- The Biden administration strategically housed migrants in $500/night hotels instead of $27/night ICE facilities to delay deportation hearings from 35 days to up to 9 years
- Under Trump’s current administration, illegal border crossings have dropped 96%, creating what Homan calls “the most secure border in the history of this nation”
