Former ICE Director: Biden Administration Has ‘Manufactured’ Crisis At Border, ‘It’s By Design’
Former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan slammed the Biden administration during a Fox News interview on Monday over the unfolding crisis on the U.S. southern border, saying it was “created” by the administration and that what is happening is not an accident.
When asked by Fox News host Brian Kilmeade about whether former President Donald Trump was responsible for the crisis on the border, Homan said that he was not.
“Let me address the statement made by Secretary Mayorkas that there’s not a crisis,” Homan said. “That that’s very disturbing, because when he was a deputy secretary in 2015, Jeh Johnson, the Secretary, I met with them numerous times a week to talk about the border crossings, how many are crossing, how many being detained, how many be in ordered to be removed. And the threshold we set at the time Brian was a thousand. A thousand crossings a day was a bad day, it was a crisis. And now we’re dealing with 4,000 a day, four times what he considered a crisis back in 2015.”
“He is not bringing truth to the American people,” he continued. “There is certainly a crisis on the border that is manufactured and which created by the Biden administration because of their promises that they’ve made and the enticements that they’ve made to the people.”
Homan later added that the crisis on the border did not happen “by accident,” but “by design.”
“You don’t have to be border expert to realize when you make those type of promises, and on top of that, Brian when we give you free health care, when you make those type of promises, they’re going to come and they knew when they said these things, it was gonna cause a border crisis,” Homan said. “They have folded to the progressive left. And it’s just incredible.”
DHS Secretary Mayorkas “made a statement yesterday that President Trump gutted the system,” Homan added. “Are you serious? He, as the secretary of Homeland Security, he has more immigration judges, he has more agents, he has more border technology, he had agreements that no other president was able to get. If anybody’s gutted the system, it’s they’ve gutted the system the last four weeks, and we see what happened. We went from historic lows to crisis unprecedented. That is what they have done.”
