Homan Breaks Down Why He's Convinced Biden's Border Invasion Was Entirely Intentional | JP

President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan has been an outspoken defender of the current administration’s immigration policies, as well as an unequivocal critic of Joe Biden’s disastrous approach to the border.

During a recent interview with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, he elaborated on why he believes the record level of illegal immigration over the past four years was an intentional act by the Biden administration as opposed to a symptom of fundamental incompetence.

As the Daily Caller reported:

“Why do I think he did it on purpose? Because Joe Biden was vice president under Barack Obama when he had those record removals. Alejandro Mayorkas was a deputy secretary under Obama when he had those removals,” Homan said. “And we had families. We had thousands of families come across the border every day. How did we stop it? We built family residential centers. We held them long enough to see a judge, 90% lost a case, 90%, so we put them on an airplane, sent them home and border numbers tanked.”

Homan elaborated.

“So both those men [Biden and Mayorkas] knew how we solved that crisis. When it came back in, as the now secretary and the president, what did they do? The complete opposite. They didn’t defend. They released. They didn’t make them see a judge, and they weren’t removing them,” Homan said. “So they did a complete opposite of what they knew worked under President Obama.”

Homan speculated as to whether these policy reversals were strategic, aimed at increasing Democratic influence by boosting their numbers in the House of Representatives.

Regardless of the root cause, Trump has made it clear that he intends to reverse the flow of immigrants allowed into the U.S. illegally during his predecessor’s term:

The numbers quickly started to reflect the efficacy of his approach, as Fox News reported just over a month after his inauguration:

The number of Border Patrol encounters at the southern border in the first three days of the Trump administration is 35% lower than the final three days of the Biden administration, the sources said. The numbers do not include encounters at the northern border, or encounters at ports of entry by Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Office of Field Operations.

On Jan. 17, there were 1,288 encounters nationwide, then 1,266 on Jan. 18 and 1,354 on Jan. 19. That is 3,908 encounters in total.

President Donald Trump implemented took office on the 20th, when there were 1,073 encounters. It then declined further to 736 encounters on the 21st and again to 714 on the 22nd — making up 2,523 encounters.

Numbers fluctuate sharply at the border on a daily and weekly basis, but numbers have been relatively low since June, when President Joe Biden signed an executive order limiting asylum. That followed a historic migrant crisis from 2021 that had shattered records repeatedly.

Here’s what Trump had to say about his immigration policy during his recent address of Congress:
