    This is actually a monumental member of his administration. Tom Homan is known for his no nonsense approach to immigration law and triggering Democrats in Congress. He is consistently called into hearings by Republicans as their expert witness on immigration law and how to secure our border.

    Here's a YouTube Short of him completely dismantling AOC's rhetoric.

    both sides want change, not sure why republicans killed the bipartisan bill

    Immigration is a good thing, excessive immigration that society can not absorb is a bad thing

    You can’t hand team “other,” a win. Bipartisan is dead.

    Just wait until he has a fallout with Trump, which seems to happen with most Trump appointees. Then, you'll start trashing him as a never Trumper.

    Yep. Trump has his own basket of deplorables...those who opposed his actions and decisions. So no one should get too attached or admire his choices because they'll be forced to hate them soon enough.

    Which is what both AOC and Tulsi complained about when they went through orientation and were told to never side with republicans.

    Yes!!!!! Trump brings in the Ice Man. Things are going to get tough on the illegals. Homan should announce that he'll be picking off illegals all over the country while saving the home towns of Biden, Harris, Newsom and other libs last. You watch how fast those cities get filled to the brim with the Biden-Harris illegals.

    Good luck with that strategy on me. Both teams do it. I’m not scared to admit it; you can’t bring yourself to admit that team red engages in the exact same shenanigans.

    LOL.....92% of Harris's team called her a 'soul crusher' and left. That's a hard number to beat.

    I've never heard team red say those shenanigans exist within team red. Maybe you have a link or something that explains it.

    Because it legitimated types and volumes of immigration that were too high for many Republicans. Those compromises may not be necessary now, and a better bill can be passed.

    He sure likes the word CZAR, - which was used by Russians to refer to their authoritarian rulers. It's ironic though, because he criticized Obama for using the word.

    He was probably mocking the absolutely worthless Biden-Harris border czar*

    *Now Trump will be criticized for mocking Biden-Harris**

    **But it's not like he called them dictators abd Nazis, or compared them to Hitler

    So, you're predicting things improve from his first admin?

    President Trump Reduced Legal Immigration. He Did Not Reduce Illegal Immigration

    "We obviously have to make the border strong and powerful and, and we have to — at the same time, we want people to come into our country," he said. "And you know, I’m not somebody that says, 'No, you can’t come in.' We want people to come in."

    As a candidate, Trump had repeatedly vowed to carry out the "largest deportation effort in American history." Asked about the cost of his plan, he said, "It’s not a question of a price tag. It’s not — really, we have no choice. When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and now they’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here. There is no price tag."

    Trump says there's 'no price tag' for his mass deportation plan
    In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Trump talked about his campaign promise to carry out the largest deportation of immigrants in U.S. history, regardless of cost.
    [​IMG] www.nbcnews.com

    And yet there is a price tag. Not only for the economy (removing that many workers is inflationary because it will drive up the price of labor. Plus it will reduce GDP), but for the government.

    How much could it cost?
    Vice President-elect JD Vance has estimated Trump's actions could result in 1 million people being removed from the country each year, a pace the nonpartisan American Immigration Council estimated would cost about $88 billion annually. To deport all the people in the U.S. without authorization would take about a decade and cost nearly a trillion dollars, the council said.
    Trump has promised mass deportations. Can he do it in his 2nd term as president
    Former President Donald Trump could be poised to deliver on one of his most fervent campaign promises: to deport millions of undocumented immigrants.
    www.usatoday.com

    I guess the thrill he got from hearing the screams of immigrant children after being separated from their parents wasn't quite satisfying enough. Now he'll be breaking up families who have lived here, yes illegally, for many years. I personally know someone here in CO who is married to an illegal alien. That marriage is over if the ACLU isn't able to stop Don in the courts.

    Mass Deportation
    Devastating Costs to America, Its Budget and Economy

    https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/mass-deportation

    In order to estimate the costs of a longer-term mass deportation operation, we calculated the cost of a program aiming to arrest, detain, process, and deport one million people per year—paralleling the more conservative proposals made by mass-deportation proponents. Even assuming that 20 percent of the undocumented population would “self-deport” under a yearslong mass-deportation regime, we estimate the ultimate cost of such a longer operation would average out to $88 billion annually, for a total cost of $967.9 billion over the course of more than a decade. This is a much higher sum than the one-time estimate, given the long-term costs of establishing and maintaining detention facilities and temporary camps to eventually be able to detain one million people at a time—costs that could not be modeled in a short-term analysis. This would require the United States to build and maintain 24 times more ICE detention capacity than currently exists. The government would also be required to establish and maintain over 1,000 new immigration courtrooms to process people at such a rate.
