What happened

Tom Homan said, as he stated it, that the United States has the most secure border in the history of the nation right now because of President Trump’s leadership, calling the President a game changer whose success in securing the border is unprecedented, as he stated it. He said, as he stated it, that the administration is now seeking the millions of illegal aliens in the country illegally, many of them public safety threats released by the Biden administration without proper vetting, as he stated it.

Homan said, as he stated it, that he has talked to hundreds of angel moms and dads who buried children killed by people who should not have been here, and that the prior administration released public safety threats into communities knowing they were public safety threats, as he stated it. He said, as he stated it, that Border Patrol had one instruction — process quick, release quick — that processing was too fast to run criminal histories, and that the United States lacks access to criminal history from countries such as Venezuela and El Salvador, as he stated it, concluding that the prior administration and its Homeland Security secretary lied to the American people, as he stated it.

Homan put, as he stated it, an estimate of 600,000 illegal aliens with criminal convictions walking the streets of the country, and said that is why, as he stated it, the big beautiful bill needs to pass, to put resources on the streets to take those people off the streets and deport them, as he stated it.

Why it matters

Homan’s remarks are the enforcement half of the border record: the claim of a historically secure border, a specific estimate of convicted criminal aliens inside the country, and the explicit argument that the big beautiful bill is the funding vehicle for removing them.
