Trump’s Border Czar Warns Undocumented Immigrants: ‘We Know Who You Are and We’re Gonna Come and Find You’

 

Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Tom Homan, whom President-elect Donald Trump tapped to be border czar, said the administration will track down all people who are in the country illegally and deport them.

As he did in 2016, Trump ran in large part on immigration and the southern border. On Monday, news broke that he will appoint Stephen Miller – a major hawk on immigration – to be White House deputy chief of staff for policy.

Homan is a co-author of Project 2025, the massive conservative agenda that Trump felt compelled to distance himself from during the campaign. On Monday night, Homan appeared on Fox News’s Hannity, where Sean Hannity asked if there will be a “grace period” in which undocumented immigrants are allowed a few months to get their affairs in order and leave the country.

“Sound like a good idea or no?” the host asked.

Homan replied:

Criminals and gang members get no grace period. While we’re out prioritizing the public safety threats and national security threats, if you wanna self-deport, you should self-deport because, again, we know who you are and we’re gonna come and find you. So, if you wanna self-deport, that’s fine. But criminals and gang members, they get no favors from this administration. You came to this country illegally, which is a crime. You committed crimes against United States citizens, some heinous crimes. You get no grace period. So, we’re coming for you.

But for those others – the non-criminals – you wanna self-deport, I’m all for it because when you self-deport, they can put everything in order, their family business, if they got homes or whatever. They can put all that in order and leave with their family all together.
