This is what leadership looks like…
Border Czar Tom Homan stopped by Fox & Friends Tuesday morning to talk about the latest shocking stats coming from the southern border.
…shocking in a good way. Only nine illegal migrants have been released into the U.S. during President Trump’s first 70 days in office.
The stunning figures came as the White House marked a 99.99% decrease in so-called “gotaways” — unlawful entrants not turned back whom the administration called “the top threat to public safety.”
“In that same time frame that we released nine, [the Biden administration] released 184,000 illegal aliens in the country,” Homan said on “Fox and Friends” early Tuesday.
“President Trump is a game changer,” Homan said. “What’s happening on the border, he did in seven weeks what Joe Biden couldn’t — or wouldn’t — do in four years.”
From The New York Post:
Homan stressed that the nine who were allowed in all had good reasons. Four were material witnesses in criminal investigations they wanted to testify in court, another four were in “extreme medical distress” and one was released on unspecified humanitarian grounds, Homan said.
Under the Biden administration, Border Patrol officials would see up to 15,000 migrants crossing the border per day, Homan said.
“You know what the number was yesterday? 178 … 178 across 2,000 miles of border,” he said of the dramatic decline in those even attempting entry. Illegal border encounters are down 95%, the White House said.
The Trump administration has deported roughly 139,000 people since Trump’s return to the White House, Homan told reporters at a White House press briefing on Monday, noting that “the numbers are good.”
He estimated that there are more than 20 million illegal migrants in the US, but has focused his agency’s resources on apprehending the roughly 700,000 who have been accused or convicted of crimes.
“That’s who we’re looking for now, that’s [what we’re] prioritizing, them and national security threats,” he said.
