Tom Homan Slams ‘Not Real Smart’ Dem Rep Who Claims ‘He Doesn’t Know What He Is Doing’ On Border Enforcement

“Well, look, I forgot more about this issue than she’ll ever know. I mean, for God’s sakes, I’ve been doing it 34 years, but look, there has been a rude awakening. A rude awakening was in November at the election,” Homan said. “There was a rude awakening that American people are sick of the open border. American people are sick of crime in this country.”

Several crimes have been committed by individuals illegally residing in the U.S. Most recently, Sebastin Zapeta, a 33-year-old Guatemalan illegal migrant previously deported by the Trump administration, was indicted Friday on first and second degree murder charges after being arrested on Dec. 22 in connection to the death of a woman who was burned alive while on the New York City subway.

“I mean, how many young women had to be raped and murdered and burned alive?” Homan asked. “How many MS-13 and Tren de Aragua had to be in our major cities committing crimes against U.S. citizens? How many angel moms and dads do we have to have in this country that lost their children at the hands of somebody that wasn’t supposed to be there and then buried their children when I talk about family separation?”

Homan later said that detaining families was the opposite of separating them.

“So look, I don’t know who this lady is,” Homan said about Crockett. “Apparently she’s not real smart.”

The Border Patrol encountered over 7.4 million illegal immigrants since the start of fiscal year 2021, according to figures released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Under President Joe Biden, the U.S. saw a net migration of about 2.4 million people per year, the largest surge of immigration in U.S. history.
