  • Border czar Tom Homan accused the Biden administration of intentionally dismantling effective immigration enforcement policies, leading to a surge in illegal border crossings.
  • Homan suggested that the former administration's policies are driven by political calculations, aiming to increase Democratic representation in the House by counting undocumented immigrants in the next census. He argued this could lead to more Democratic voters and congressional seats.
  • Homan contrasted Biden's approach with Trump's, claiming Trump secured the border quickly, while Biden's policies have resulted in record-breaking illegal crossings. He noted ICE has increased deportations under Biden but argued broader policies incentivize illegal immigration.
  • Despite assurances from former DHS Secretary Mayorkas that the border is under control, Homan and critics argue Biden's policies have created a humanitarian and security crisis, with millions of illegal immigrant encounters reported since fiscal year 2021.
  • Immigration policy has become a defining issue of Biden's presidency, with critics accusing the administration of prioritizing political gains over national security.
In a fiery interview on "The Stephen A. Smith Show" on March 14, Tom Homan accused the Biden administration of intentionally dismantling effective immigration enforcement policies, leading to a surge in illegal border crossings. Homan, a veteran of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), argued that President Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas knowingly abandoned strategies that had successfully reduced border crossings during the Obama administration. The discussion, which touched on political motivations and the administration's handling of the ongoing border crisis, has reignited debates over immigration policy and its broader implications for national security and electoral politics. Homan, who served as acting ICE director under President Donald Trump, pointed to Biden's tenure as vice president under Barack Obama as evidence that the current administration understands how to secure the border but has chosen not to. "Why do I think he did it on purpose? Because Joe Biden was vice president under Barack Obama when he had those record removals. Alejandro Mayorkas was a deputy secretary under Obama when he had those removals," Homan said. During the Obama administration, Homan explained, the government implemented measures such as family residential centers, which detained migrant families long enough to ensure they appeared before a judge. "We held them long enough to see a judge, 90 percent lost a case, 90 percent, so we put them on an airplane, sent them home, and border numbers tanked," Homan said. He argued that Biden and Mayorkas deliberately reversed these policies, opting instead to release migrants into the U.S. without ensuring they faced legal consequences.

When it came back in, as the now secretary and the president, what did they do? The complete opposite. They didn't defend. They released. They didn't make them see a judge, and they weren't removing them," Homan said.

Political motivations behind the policy shift?

Homan suggested that the administration's approach may be driven by political calculations rather than a commitment to border security. He claimed that Biden's policies could lead to increased Democratic representation in the House of Representatives by counting millions of undocumented immigrants in the next census. "I think this administration thought these millions of people are gonna be future Democratic voters, but one of the things Biden also did, in addition to destroying all the programs we put in place to give us the most secure border, he overturned the Trump census rule, which means millions of people that they released in sanctuary cities will be counted in the next census," Homan said. "Which is going to result in more seats in the House for the Dems. So I truly believe they saw a future political benefit with this." Homan has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration's immigration policies, often contrasting them with those of the Trump administration. In a separate interview with Fox News, he argued that Trump's policies had secured the border within a month of taking office, while Biden's approach has led to record-breaking numbers of illegal crossings. According to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), there have been millions of illegal immigrant encounters since the start of fiscal year 2021. Despite repeated assurances from Mayorkas that the border is under control, Homan and other critics argue that the Biden administration's policies have created a humanitarian and security crisis.
