Good points Craig, just like those running on the left's primary in 2020, were talking about Fracking Bans and Reparations. As soon as the primary race was over Pfffft!
Tom Homan, former acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director is the new “border czar”.
This pick doesn't sound so radical either.
Wrong, as usual:
Homan is joining a Trump administration that has vowed to carry out mass deportations, which Trump has said would be in the millions.
When Trump was in office, ICE was criticized by Democrats for a policy separating migrant parents from their children. It was a policy defended by Homan. Homan told PBS in 2018 that keeping families together during arrests was a logistical issue.
“A child can’t go to U.S. Marshals’ custody with the parents being charged with the crime of entering the country illegally,” he told PBS.
Under a Trump presidency, Homan said that some U.S. citizens could be among those deported. He suggested in an interview with CBS News that children born in the U.S. to migrants in the nation illegally could be subject to deportation.
"Their parent absolutely entered the country illegally, had a child knowing he was in the country illegally. So he created that crisis," he said.
Homan also has widely criticized cities and states for being so-called "sanctuaries" for migrants in the U.S. illegally. In 2018, he suggested that California lose funding after the state approved a bill that prevented law enforcement from inquiring about a person's legal status and arresting people whose only alleged crime was immigration-related.

Also, absolutely SHOCKING that Craig has the blinders on while this plan is clearly being scaled up.
I’m not exactly understanding what this guy was selected to do besides “border czar”… so he’s some sort of advisor or something. He was not nominated to be ICE director. That sounds like Trump is building a shadow cabinet.

I'll take a second look to see if the criticisms were valid. If the parents were in jail, then kids don't belong there in jail with them.

Should citizens that were born here be deported?
Remember we also have that potential AG or White House Council Mike Davis on the record saying the same thing about anchor babies who are citizens he thinks should be deported. So ending birthright citizenship or ignoring the constitution and detaining them for a good long time isn’t fringe in their world.

They're going to do what they said they were going to, just as 74 million Americans apparently wanted.

Apparently if the margin gets to 1.5 million or so in the popular vote that’ll be good for 5th smallest. Combined with the electoral college it isn’t exactly an overwhelming mandate or a landslide. Just an ordinary win.
