Trump Administration Reports Significant Decrease in Illegal Border Crossings
The Trump administration, as reported by Border Czar Tom Homan, has seen a 93% decrease in illegal border crossings, highlighting the need for strong border security.
Border Czar Tom Homan announced over the weekend that the Trump administration has seen a dramatic drop-off in illegal border crossings since taking over and communicating that the border is closed.
Homan made the revelation during a Sunday interview on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" after the administration has been in power for nearly two weeks.
"We've got the numbers this morning. The crossings on the border are down 93%. 93%!" Homan said. "That's a bigger decrease than under the first Trump administration."
"So, look, I said it, President Trump's the game-changer," he continued. "No one has had the success he's had in securing the border. He clearly understands we can't have strong national security if we don't have border security. We need to know who's coming in, what's coming in, where, and why."
"We've achieved success on the border already," Homan said. "We've got more work to do. And as far as the deportation operation, I think we got 5,000 arrested the first week, and a majority of them being criminals."
Homan added that the "non-criminals" discussed by the media were "arrested in sanctuary cities because you force us into the community rather than arresting the bad guy in jail, and when we find that criminal, he's most likely with others, and they're going to go, too."
"If you want to be a sanctuary city, you're going to get more agents in the community," he stated.
