Tom Homan: Congress is to Blame for Border Issues, Not ICE

ICE Enforcement Data

• 🎯 The data shows that 70% of individuals arrested by ICE are criminals.
• ⚠️ The remaining 30% include national security threats, such as over 300 Iranian nationals arrested since President Trump took office.
• ⚖️ This group also comprises individuals with final orders of deportation who have already gone through due process.

Blame Congress for Immigration Laws

• 🏛️ Tom Homan states that ICE is enforcing laws enacted by Congress.
• 🗣️ He criticizes members of Congress for comparing ICE agents to racists and terrorists, arguing that if enforcing immigration law makes ICE a terrorist organization, then Congress, as the law's authors, are complicit.
• 🚶 Homan questions why protestors target ICE instead of the legislators who wrote the laws.

Asylum System Criticisms

• ⏳ While millions follow legal immigration processes, millions under the Biden administration have cheated the system.
• 📉 Immigration court data indicates that nearly nine out of 10 so-called asylum seekers end up with an order of removal.
• 🚫 True asylum seekers, escaping persecution, are being sidelined by those who exploit the system.

Border Security Comparison

• 📈 Homan asserts that the current administration claims the most secure border in history, yet ICE has arrested three times more criminal and national security threats during this period compared to the Biden administration's numbers.
• 🧑‍⚖️ He highlights that many asylum claims are fraudulent, with individuals ordered for deportation who are not genuine asylum seekers.
