Donald Trump Announces Tom Homan as ‘Border Czar’
Breitbart, Jun 14, 2019

President Donald Trump announced Friday that former Acting Director of ICE Tom Homan would be the new immigration czar for his administration.

Trump broke the news during a morning phone conversation with Fox and Friends.

The president said that Homan would take a “border czar” position and would report directly to him.

“He’ll be a border czar, he’ll be very much involved with the border, he’ll be reporting directly to me, he’ll be probably be working out of the White House but probably spending a lot of time at the border,” Trump said. “He’s a good man. Done a good job.”
Homan served as the acting director of ICE in the Trump administration in 2017 before he joined Fox News Channel as a contributor in August 2018.
 
Trump also said he was not committed to nominating Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan to take the job full time.  “He is doing a very nice job, we’re going to see, I’ve got to get used to him, because its a very important thing to me, the border,” he said.

Trump noted that he was bringing in other “tough” people to handle immigration, such as Mark Morgan to lead ICE and Ken Cuccinelli at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.  “Ken Cuccinelli just took over, he’s fantastic, he’s as tough as you get, he’s smart,” Trump said.

The announcement about Homan comes just days after the Trump administration announced that another immigration hawk, Ken Cuccinelli, has been tapped to head up United States Citizenship and Immigration Services and one day after news that Cuccinelli would be joined by John Zadrozny — another tough-on-immigration voice and ally of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller.

I know it's unlikely Trump will get credit for doing the right thing, but I do appreciate his efforts. He's got Mexico starting to do their part to fix this mess. He's getting the wall built. He's putting people in place who want our borders enforced and illegals out.

Way to go TRUMP!

Oh boy!  Another czar.  Didn't we have enough czars during Obama's reign?  Just what is this guy going to do exactly?  Or is he going to be another do-nothing paid by the taxpayers?

We'll soon find out. In reading about him, he seem tough on illegal immigration.  Anyone who can shake things up in Homeland Security and make a damper on border patrol corruption and the invasion will be an asset.

Perhaps he could also get the TSA to look for real terrorists instead of frisking old ladies.

This is one thing that he has said in the past which I hope he does.

In February 2018, Homan said that politicians who support sanctuary city policies should be charged with crimes.

I said that the other day too!  It is a crime.  Its human trafficking.  Churches, Mayors, Governors, judges, Congressmen/women, senators.  Its a crime.

We've had Czars for a while....

The first US Drug czar was Harry J. Anslinger who served as the first Commissioner of the Treasury Board-created Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930-1962, under the administrations of five presidents: Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy.

Well I certainly hope their will be dire consequences for Mexico not enforcing border per their agreement.  This footage was filmed on Thursday at Mexico's Southern Border:

Homan, who is now a Fox News contributor, appeared on Fox News’ “Cavuto Live” on Saturday to clear the air.

“I think the White House has made it clear it was kind of premature,” Homan said, likely referring to a Friday CNN report on the confusion.

Homan, who previously served as Trump’s acting ICE chief, told Fox News host Neil Cavuto that he turned down the czar job when former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen offered it to him because he “didn’t think the job was structured right” and “didn’t have the proper authority.”

“I think any sort of border czar needs to be a person who can coordinate an all-government response to the border,” Homan said. “So when I first had the discussions, that wasn’t the way it was set up and I certainly don’t want to come back and fail this President.”

“I don’t think they should create another policy position that’s not going to have an effectiveness on this border, so as of right now, I have not accepted the job, but the discussions will continue,” he added.

That would be great.  I won't fly due to the absurd requirements and restrictions on regular patriotic Americans. It saddens me that this injustice is acceptable to the public.
