Tom Homan on Trump's Border Policy vs. Biden's

Trump Administration's Border Successes

• 🎯 Under President Trump's first 70 days, only nine illegal migrants were released into the U.S., a stark contrast to nearly 5,000 released in a single day under Biden in December 2023.
• 🔑 Tom Homan highlights that Trump's administration achieved in seven weeks what Biden has not done in four years regarding border control.
• ⚠️ The nine individuals released by Trump were either material witnesses for a cartel hearing or in extreme medical distress, with one humanitarian case.

Biden Administration's Border Failures

• 📉 In contrast, the Biden administration released 184,000 illegal aliens in the same timeframe that Trump released nine.
• 📈 Average daily border crossings under Biden have reached highs of 10,000-15,000, with one day seeing 178,000 across the border.
• 🚨 Over two million known 'gotaways' have occurred under Biden, indicating individuals who paid cartels not to be vetted or fingerprinted.

National Security Threats

• ⚡ Hundreds of individuals on the terror watch list have crossed the border under Biden, with many still in the country and actively being sought by intelligence agencies.
• 🌍 The influx of individuals from countries sponsoring terror, carrying fentanyl, or involved in sex trafficking presents a significant national security vulnerability.
• 🚫 The speaker expresses concern that individuals from countries like Venezuela, potentially embedded with the Maduro regime, are entering the U.S. to cause havoc through fentanyl, sex trafficking, and violence, citing an FBI report about TDA members targeting individuals in Florida.

Sanctuary Cities and Law Enforcement Collaboration

• 🏙️ The case of the Homeland Security Secretary's purse being stolen by an undocumented immigrant highlights the issue of revolving doors in sanctuary cities like New York.
• 🤝 Collaboration between NYPD and ICE, as demonstrated by a RICO investigation leading to the indictment of 27 TDA members, shows the effectiveness of law enforcement partnerships in making cities safer.
• ⚖️ Despite legal challenges, efforts are underway to ensure individuals involved in serious crimes are held accountable, with Mayor Adams showing a commitment to law and order.
