Former Acting Director of ICE under President Trump, Tom Homan joins Elaine Beck to discuss solutions to the border crisis.
“An open border is not humane,” Homan said.
The open border is taking the lives of migrants in the dangerous journey, encouraging human trafficking, empowering and enriching the cartels, and taking the lives of Americans with the fentanyl epidemic.
Solutions begin by demanding the attention of representatives in Congress. Our elected officials need to start enforcing our laws, increasing the number of border patrol agents and empowering them to do their job to protect the border rather than process illegal immigrants. Further, the United States needs to incentivize Mexico to work with the us to stop migrants in Mexico before they ever reach America.
“What we got to do is threaten these countries like President Trump did one time and just said, ‘Look, I’m not going to give you money to create opportunity zones. I’m going to start taking international aid away unless you prove to me it’s going to the right people.’ That’s how you fix it,” advised Homan. “Turn the tables on them. Make them take care of their people or [they] don’t get international aid.”
