(DCNF)—Border czar Tom Homan lit into former Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas Friday, saying the former Biden administration official “lied from day one” about the border.
Mayorkas claimed that the border was secure on multiple occasions during the Biden administration, despite the fact that the Border Patrol encountered millions of illegal immigrants since the start of fiscal year 2021, according to figures released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Homan said that Trump “shut down the border” in less than a month during an appearance on Fox News after a clip was played of Mayorkas claiming he opposed so-called “sanctuary cities.”
“Well, his lips are moving, means he’s lying. He lied from day one. The bottom line is, how did he do on that question and sanctuary cities? Sanctuary cities tripled under his command,” Homan said after “America’s Newsroom” host Dana Perino. “He said he wanted to do something about it, but he didn’t do it. The same time he’s talking about cities releasing public safety threats on the streets, how about what he did on the southern border? We had 2.2 million known gotaways they did nothing about. They released national security threats through the border. The released people so quickly, they released them before venting came back from the FBI. He was a failure as secretary of Homeland Security.”
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced Feb. 25 that only 200 illegal immigrants were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border, the lowest total in 15 years. “America’s Newsroom” co-host Bill Hemmer then played a clip of Mayorkas bemoaning “the decline of empiricism” when it came to the border, asking Homan to respond.
“Facts do matter. Under [Mayorkas’] leadership, a 600% increase in sex trafficking of women and children. To 2.2 million known gotaways, people we knew cross the border. You had a record number of people on terrorist watch, over 400,” Homan continued. “Trump had 14 in four years. We had a quarter million Americans die from fentanyl coming across that open border. Massive failure, an embarrassment to the position he holds.”
Hemmer and Perino then played a cut of Democrats pushing for the passage of a border bill negotiated in 2024 by Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona that would have allowed up to 5,000 illegal immigrants a day to cross the border. Homan called out that provision of the bill.
“A bill from Congress might be welcome, but you all have shown in one month you are able to shut down the border,” Perino said.
“Because we have a strong president. President Trump did in three weeks what Joe Biden didn’t do in four years. That bipartisan border bill, I respect Senator Lankford, he calmly walked through that bill with me. He asked me to support and I said no. I’m not okay with four or 5,000 illegal immigrants crossing the border being normal. I don’t want that in statute. I’m not okay with a bill that doesn’t address sex trafficking of women and children,” Homan said.
“And right now, you look at what President Trump just did, we went from an average and the highs of 10 to 11,000 per day under Biden to 200, 11,000 to 200. The gotaways we spoke about, 1800 per day average under Joe Biden, do you know what I saw the other day? 41, 1,800 to 41. We won’t be happy until that number’s at zero. Look at the strides President Trump made in three weeks,” the border czar added.
