The Trump border policy
President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, Tom Homan, is crafting an ambitious deportation agenda to implement as soon as the new administration assumes office in January. Homan’s plan signals a dramatic shift in immigration policy compared to the Biden administration, which oversaw the highest levels of illegal border crossings in U.S. history, according to The Center Square.
Speaking with The Center Square, Homan criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s approach, which he said enabled an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration.
Vice President Kamala Harris, previously tasked as Biden’s border czar, often asserted that the border was secure and saw no need to visit. Meanwhile, under their tenure, roughly 14 million illegal border crossers were recorded.
Homan framed the situation in stark terms: “Millions of people entered this country illegally, which is a crime.” While the Biden administration maintained that illegal border crossers “have a right to claim asylum” and appear before an immigration judge, Homan emphasized that court data reveals nearly 90% of these cases result in deportation orders.
“We gave them that opportunity to see a judge,” he said. “But we know, based on immigration court data, that nearly nine out of 10 of them will get an order for removal because they simply don’t qualify for asylum.”

The US must get control of its border again. Under Biden, both the Mexican and Canadian borders were worse than a sieve. More illegals entered the country than the population of most states.
