Tom Homan isn’t wasting any time as President-elect Trump’s new Border Czar, and his agenda isn’t for the faint of heart. Homan has laid out three major priorities for his role: securing the border, executing mass deportations, and—perhaps the most heart-wrenching—finding over 300,000 immigrant children who have gone missing in the system. For a man who’s built his reputation on no-nonsense immigration enforcement, these goals reflect both the enormity of the crisis and the grit needed to tackle it.
The third rail—rescuing these lost children—is the most sobering part of his plan. Homan revealed that under the current administration, over half a million children were trafficked into the United States, with many released to unvetted sponsors. The fallout is as horrifying as it is predictable. Some of these kids ended up in forced labor or, even worse, s*x trafficking. Homan didn’t sugarcoat it: “We already found some in forced labor, some of them are in for s*x trafficking, some of them are with p**ophiles. We need to save these children.”
The media, predictably, isn’t paying nearly enough attention to this part of the plan. While they obsess over Homan’s tough talk on deportations and border security, the rescue mission for these children is a humanitarian crisis that transcends politics. It’s the kind of effort that should unite Americans, but instead, it gets buried under partisan noise.
Homan has made it clear he’s not here to make friends. His first rail—securing the border—will involve military resources as part of Trump’s plan to declare a national emergency. The second rail, running deportation operations, targets those who pose national security threats first, followed by others here illegally. And let’s not forget the rumored fourth rail: dealing with government officials who obstruct deportation efforts. If true, that adds another layer of determination to Homan’s already ambitious mission.
Critics will undoubtedly cry foul, accusing Homan and the incoming administration of being too harsh. But when you hear about 300,000 children lost in a broken system, the moral imperative becomes clear. This isn’t just about enforcing laws—it’s about saving lives.
Come January 20th, Homan will hit the ground running, and for those who’ve been calling for accountability and action, it’s about time. Whether it’s securing the border or rescuing children from unimaginable fates, this bulldog is ready to deliver.
