Trump's newly appointed “border czar” has doubled down on his hardline language, warning undocumented migrants: “We’re gonna come and find you.”
Tom Homan, the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during part of Trump’s first administration, had already
told Democratic governors to “get the hell out of the way” soon after being tapped for the role on Monday by the president-elect.
But he appeared to go further during an appearance with Fox News’ Sean Hannity later that night.
Hannity proposed a “grace period” in which undocumented immigrants are allowed time to get their affairs in order and leave the country, and then eventually be allowed to apply to return to the U.S. legally.
“Criminals and gang members get no grace period,” Homan
replied. “While we’re out prioritizing the public safety threats and national security threats, if you wanna self-deport, you should self-deport because, again, we know who you are and we’re gonna come and find you.”
He said criminals and gang members “get no favors from this administration” and “we’re coming for you.” And he added that he was “all for” people to “self-deport.”
The latest greatest antics of our elected representatives is the so-called Save Act.
