Incoming Trump administration border czar Tom Homan told NewsNation’s Ali Bradley there is no “price tag” for the mass deportations planned by the incoming administration

“What price do you put on national security? I don’t think it has a price tag,” Homan said. “What price do you put on the thousands of American moms and dads who buried their children? You want to talk about family separation; they buried their children because their children were murdered by illegal aliens that weren’t supposed to be here. I don’t put a price on that. I don’t put a price on national security. I don’t put a price on American lives.”

Homan further defended the mass deportations’ $86 billion price tag, saying it would save American taxpayers money in the future.

“This operation would be expensive,” he acknowledged. “However, it’s going to save taxpayers a lot of money in the long run. Right now, we’re spending billions of dollars on free airline tickets, free hotel rooms, free medical care, free meals, the education system.”

Homan, however, said they will also need help from Congress.

“We need more resources; we need funding. We obviously need to buy more detention beds because everybody we arrest, we have to detain to work on those removal efforts and get travel documents, get flight arrangements. So we need more detention beds,” said Homan.

Homan said the Trump administration doesn’t plan on separating families but rather deporting them together. He said the administration is looking into using halfway houses to hold U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants.

“As far as U.S. children, that’s going to be a difficult situation because we’re not going to change your U.S. citizenship,” he said. “Which means they’re going to be put in a halfway house or they can stay at home and wait for the officers to get the travel arrangements and come back and get the family. You know the best thing to do for a family is to self-deport themselves.”

  1. WHY ARE ALL THESE LUNITICS SCREAMING ABOUT THE COST OF REMOVING THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS BUT NOT A WORD SAID ABOUT ALL THE MILLIONS GIVEN TO ILLEGALS WHEN THEY ARRIVED; HOUSING, FOOD, PHONES, CASH,ECT…..CITIES SPENDING MILLIONS AND NOW THEY WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COST TO REMOVED THEM. DEMOKRAZIES BROUGHT IN MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS FOR POWER….AND IT BACKED FIRE ON THEM IN A MONUMENTOUS WAY–TRUMP WON BY A LANDSLIDE! NOW THEY ARE GOING BACK TO THEIR COUNTRIES AND IF MEXICO AND SOUTH AMERICA WANT TO FIGHT ABOUT EXTRIDITING THEM BACK, TRUMP CAN HIT THEM WITH TARRIFFS AND A MULTITUDE OF OTHER ITEMS. THESE COUNTRIES CAN DEAL WITH THEIR COUNTRYMEN AND LEAVE AMERICANS ALONE

    • Just stop their foreign aid packages we provide to them. Then start sending their diplomats back home, shut our tourist industry down going to them, then add port charges to both exports to them and imports to them. Ultimately freeze their funds in the USA until they take back every one of their citizens.

  2. What is the NOW status of the wall sections on the southern border. Do we know where the Biden give away sections went and can they be retreaved and put in place. How can we monitor them for people cutting holes in them or tunneling under them? We need a barrier to stop the gangs, drugs, and nondesireables, plus foreign agents and terrorists from entering the USA easily. Lets get this going again.
    Next what about the Pipeline that we were making until 4 years ago. There are miles of pipe that was stacked up and not used. Where is that and its status. Can we get that project going again as well.
    Now lets talk about all the polution that Califorina just added to the air with their preventable fires? Who is going to answer for this mess, who is going to be responsible for insurance companies like State Farm from canceling policies due to poor actions by the California poltics. Who is going to be ultimately responisble for the uninsured homes that were destroye due to neglance?
