In an interview on Fox News, incoming Trump Border Czar Tom Homan laid out an aggressive and detailed plan to combat the border crisis and restore order after what he called “four years of disastrous open-border policies” under the Biden administration.
Speaking with former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway on the Hannity show, Homan promised to hold foreign governments, NGOs, and even elements of the United Nations accountable for their roles in fueling the migrant surge.
Homan said that the groundwork for securing the border has already begun, even before President-elect Trump takes office on January 20th. He is already coordinating with Texas Governor Greg Abbott to secure the southern border.
Homan: “Governor Abbott and I are not waiting until January 20th. I’ve been out in Texas. We’re already meeting and planning how we can work together to help Texas secure their border at the highest level ever.
He’s done a great job. Illegal migration in Texas is down 86% because he has implemented many of Trump’s policies. He’s building border barriers like President Trump did, adding consequences for those who cross the border illegally, and arresting them for trespassing.”
People need to understand the Department of Public Safety (DPS) has done a lot. Not only is the government taking action to protect Texas, but they are also protecting the United States because most of these illegal aliens aren’t staying in Texas; they are moving across the country.
Every ounce of fentanyl intercepted means fewer overdose deaths. Every person arrested for trespassing is one less “gotaway.” They are fingerprinted, vetted, and at least we know they’re not terrorists. We’re going to follow this model across the Southwest border.”
Homan highlighted Texas as the blueprint for a nationwide strategy. He plans to contract out non-enforcement work, such as transportation and administrative duties, to free up officers for frontline deportation operations.
Homan: “My plan, which I’ve been very vocal about, is to contract out as much work as we can—work that doesn’t require a badge and a gun—because I need badges and guns on the street for deportation operations.
For example, transportation, whether it’s buses, ground, or air, as well as processing and administrative duties, should be contracted out. Right now, we have officers doing that work. I want to get them out of those administrative roles and onto the streets.
If these sanctuary states and cities keep pushing back, I’ll deploy extra resources and double manpower in those areas. When we can’t arrest someone in jail with one agent, it means we have to send a whole team out into the field to find that person, which increases risk.
This is the plan we’re putting together. Governor Abbott was the first to come to the table, and I accepted, shook his hand, and said, “Let’s go. Let’s move forward.””
Homan slammed the Biden administration’s immigration policies, accusing them of creating a humanitarian crisis.
He also revealed Trump’s administration’s intent to dig deeper into the forces behind the crisis.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the House Judiciary GOP has exposed what they call an “open-borders alliance” between the Biden-Harris Administration and United Nations bureaucrats that uses U.S. taxpayer dollars to enable illegal immigration.
The findings reveal that at least $81.7 million in taxpayer funds have been allocated to foreign nationals employed by the U.N., who advise migrants on ways to enter the United States.
This funding has established “migration centers” across Central and South America, facilitating nearly 70,000 aliens with potential resettlement options in the U.S.
According to the report, since 2021, the Biden-Harris Administration has overseen the release of nearly 5.8 million illegal immigrants into the U.S., with an additional 1.9 million entering as “gotaways” who evaded apprehension entirely.
The GOP committee argues that these numbers illustrate an administration bent on dismantling border security. Instead of fixing the problem, the administration has created a workaround through the Safe Mobility Initiative—a program designed to “avoid the optics of border crossings” by coordinating with U.N. agents in 13 Central and South American cities.
Kellyanne Conway: Tom Homan, you were a great colleague during the first Trump administration. You were one of the first appointees President Trump named because he takes border security very seriously.
When I interviewed you for Here’s the Deal on Fox Nation, you made it clear that Biden and Harris are the first administration in a long time not to secure the border. Why would a commander-in-chief take steps to leave the border unsecured?
Tom Homan:
Biden is the first president in history to intentionally leave the border unsecured—not because of mismanagement or incompetence, but by design. They want an open border because they believe these millions of people will be future Democratic voters.Biden overturned the Trump census rule, which means people in sanctuary cities will be counted in the next census. This translates to more House seats for Democrats.
When the Trump team returns on January 20th, we’ll take control and hold people accountable. We’ll investigate what the United Nations had to do with this crisis, who in the Biden administration enabled it, and which NGOs were involved. We’ll be transparent and tell the American people the truth about this border crisis.
