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. “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.”

    It will not only pay for itself in a year or two but free up our crowded highways, schools, jails, and welfare systems.
    Less demand will lower the price of everything and jobs will be restored to American Citizens at a living wage.

  2. 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

  3. The Bible is the final authority on God’s will that national borders be secure and defended. Here are a few of the biblical passages that focus on the importance of secure borders:
    _Exodus 23:31 And I will set your border from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates, for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
    _Numbers 34:1–3 And I will set your border from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates, for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
    _Ezekiel 47:13–21) Thus says the Lord GOD: “This is the boundary by which you shall divide the land for inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.
    14 And you shall divide equally what I swore to give to your fathers. This land shall fall to you as your inheritance.
    15 “This shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side, from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, and on to Zedad,
    16 Berothah, Sibraim (which lies on the border between Damascus and Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.
    17 So the boundary shall run from the sea to Hazar-enan, which is on the northern border of Damascus, with the border of Hamath to the north. This shall be the north side.
    18 “On the east side, the boundary shall run between Hauran and Damascus; along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel; to the eastern sea and as far as Tamar. This shall be the east side.
    19 “On the south side, it shall run from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribah-kadesh, from there along the Brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This shall be the south side.
    20 “On the west side, the Great Sea shall be the boundary to a point opposite Lebo-hamath. This shall be the west side. 21 “So you shall divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel.
    _Notably, Abraham was given a promise of land (Genesis 15:18–21), and its boundaries were clearly defined.
    18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I give[a] this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, 19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites.”

    Our own U.S. Constitution is based on the biblical model as reflected in Article IV, § 4, which says that the federal government “shall protect each [State] against invasion.” That is a guarantee, not an option! Furthermore, Article I, § 10, Clause 3, acknowledges the States’ have a sovereign interest in protecting their borders. That says that the states also have authority to defend their own borders against invasion, and we don’t have to wait for the federal government to do it for us!

  4. 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?
