Former Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Tom Homan expressed his disapproval of the Biden administration’s border policies during an appearance on Fox News on Friday. He contended that these policies facilitate the activities of criminal cartels and jeopardize national security by permitting millions of immigrants to enter the United States.
According to Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol has encountered over 7 million migrants at the southern border since the Biden-Harris administration assumed power. Homan asserted that the United States will persist in experiencing substantial illegal immigration unless former President Donald Trump is reinstated in office.
“They’re not going anywhere, unless President Trump’s back in the White House,” Homan told Laura Ingraham, talking about an influx of migrants from Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba. “Then they’re bringing thousands a day through the CBP1 app … Historic numbers. Mexico stepped up enforcement a little bit. Why? Because they don’t want President Trump to be president. You know who else don’t want President Trump to be president? The criminal cartels in Mexico who are making billions of dollars every month.”
According to federal data revealed in a letter on Wednesday, there are thousands of illegal migrants and other non-citizens who have been convicted of serious crimes, including homicide and sexual assault, currently residing in the United States. The letter, which was sent to Republican Texas Representative Tony Gonzales, states that as of July 21, there were more than 662,566 non-citizens with criminal records listed on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) national docket, which includes both individuals in detention and those who are not in custody.
