- π‘ Former Border Czar Tom Homan asserts that the Biden administration has deliberately unsecured the border.
- π― He states this was not due to mismanagement or incompetence, but a conscious decision, referring to it as "by design."
Contrasting Policies: Obama-Biden vs. Trump
- π Homan contrasts the current administration's approach with policies enacted when Biden was Vice President and Mayorkas was Deputy Secretary under Obama.
- π During that period, they managed a family surge by rebuilding detention and residential centers, holding individuals until a judge's decision, and deporting those who didn't qualify for asylum.
