Tom Homan Explains Necessity of Marines at San Diego Border Amidst National Security Concerns

Border Security and Marine Presence

• 🎯 Marines are currently stationed in the San Diego area to assist with border security.
• ❓ The necessity of this presence is questioned given the reported dramatic drop in border encounters.

National Security Rationale

• ⚠️ Tom Homan emphasizes that the border is a national security issue with the current temperature at a high level.
• ⚡ The administration aims to take every opportunity to secure the border and prevent the situation seen under the Biden administration.

'Gotaway' Numbers and Resource Allocation

• 📈 Under the Biden administration, an average of 1,800 gotaways were known daily.
• ✅ With current resources, this number has dropped to 18 gotaways per day, indicating a more locked-down border.
• 🤝 Having more resources leads to stopping more people from entering the country, which is crucial given current national security vulnerabilities, including threats from Iran and other countries.
• ⚠️ Homan prefers having too many resources rather than not enough, stating that mistakes at the border are irreversible.
