Incoming “border czar” Tom Homan condemned Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for diminishing the border crisis.
Mayorkas has overseen the Department of Homeland Security over a historic period, as over 10 million immigrants have reportedly entered the country illegally, the most recorded in any four-year stretch during one administration. Despite his record, the secretary appeared Sunday on Face the Nation to say that trafficked immigrant children fall “outside of the responsibility” of his department. Homan disagreed Monday on Fox and Friends.
Homan lamented that Mayorkas’s policies “caused over half a million children being smuggled in this country,” and, on top of that, “they lost track with 340,000 of them.”
“President Trump is going to fix this whole issue,” Homan said. “We will find over 340,000 children that you lost track of, that you released unvetted sponsors, many are in sex trafficking, many in forced labor. We will rescue those children that you trafficked into the United States.”

Trump tapped Homan for border czar after his experience as a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director.
A report from Blueprint found that nearly a quarter of voters ranked the border as their top issue of the Nov. 5 election. It was in the top three issues for voters in choosing Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris.
