New in PJ Media:
The man whom Donald Trump has tapped to succeed Kamala Harris as border czar couldn’t be more perfect if he was sent over from central casting. Tom Homan is tough, plain-spoken, clear-sighted about what needs to be done to end the border crisis, and determined to do the job and do it right. As Matt Margolis noted here, “the left is already in an uproar” over Homan’s appointment, and the man himself, never one to shy away from a battle, on Friday made abundantly clear to his critics what they could expect from him.
Fox News reported Monday that Homan “has a clear message for any Democratic governors who oppose the planned mass deportation operation,” and it’s far from the blather to which we have grown dispiritingly accustomed over the years from establishment Republicans — you know, the nonsense about bipartisan cooperation and mutual efforts that the left gladly takes advantage of but never respects or reciprocates.
Instead, Homan came out swinging, saying of Democrat governors: “If they’re not willing to help, then get the hell out of the way because [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)] is going to do their job.”
There are going to be plenty of people whom Homan will need to get out of the way. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said recently that “every tool in the toolbox has got to be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents and protect our states and to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law as a basic principle.” Note that Healey didn’t just speak of protecting citizens, but of protecting “residents,” that is, any illegal migrant who happened to have made his or her way to the far-left Bay State. When Healey was asked if she would have state police aid in deportations of illegals, Healey was adamant: “No. Absolutely not.”
In a similar vein, California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared: “I want our president to succeed. And our job, my job, is not to wake up every single day and get a crowbar and try to put it in the spokes of the wheel of the Trump administration. I’m not naive either, and we’re pragmatic, and we will stand firm.”
Homan was skeptical, wondering aloud if at least some of this tough talk was mere bluster or else a refusal to accept the reality that others were having to face whether they wanted to or not: “They’re not going to say it, but with all the alien crime and the young women being sexually assaulted and murdered, some sheriffs have been coming forward and working with us behind the scenes.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

The democratic Governors are trying to “protect” illegal aliens rights over the American citizen rights living in their states .A simple solution is to with hold federal aid to states that do not follow the law of the land. The next step is to charge the governors with aiding and abating criminals in volition of federal law ,also RICO laws because the governors are using local law enforcement be they state Troopers ,local police in town and cities to carry out their illegal policies . This country had a civil war over states not following federal law ,these governors should think twice before getting into a pissing contest with this administration on this subject .The most American citizens ,with this election over want the government to enforce immigration laws ,it is the main reason I think Trump was elected.

Have a look at the “S.3927 – Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act of 2024” –

And who and what are the Sanctuary cities?
The first to paragraphs tell you what they get up to.

Trump also addresses “Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act” during his 2020 Sate of the Union speech.

It is great finally having a Border Czar who actually knows where the border is.

Watching Mr. Homan handle AOC in that hearing is worth a little time.

I loved Tom Homan’s response to the reporterette who asked him about family separation. He plainly said that the entire families could be deported. In the case of minors who were born in the US to illegals, there is no reason why they need to be kept in the US if their parents need to be deported. Whenever they are 18 or 21 or whatever the age is for legal maturity, they can legally reapply for their passports. (This is assuming that nothing is done about birthright citizenship and anchor babies: it needs to be re-defined so that as far as being born in the US goes, only the offspring of citizens and legal immigrants, whether on Green Cards or student/work visas would get such a privilege)
This time, there needs to be an unrelenting assault on sanctuary cities. Last 4 years were fun, w/ governors Abbott and DeSantis sending the infiltrators to places like NYC, Martha’s Vineyard, San Francisco and so on. However, now that we’re getting serious about this, the ICE raids on illegal dens need to be intensified, and any governor or mayor who dares obstruct them should be pursued by the DOJ for treason. Already, Mayor Adams seems to have seen the light, and hopefully, the new mayors of places like San Francisco and Oakland, however difficult they may be on other Leftist issues, won’t try to sabotage this deportation exercise
If I were a Dem and looked at the election results that showed Hispanic men break for my political enemies, the last thing I would want would be more of those ingrates. Just like the Dems don’t give 2 hoots about Cuban Americans, I would be surprised if they continue to pander to the “Latinx”: they’d be much better off in taking Bill Clinton’s stance in the 90s against illegal infiltrators (he deported 11 million of them, and that was 2 decades ago, when we had a much smaller population). The Dems can only provide free-stuff to everybody as a part of their socialist platforms if they do it within closed borders: it’s impossible to do that w/ open borders, as the last 4 years emphatically demonstrated. Whether it was in the streets of New York or the flood ridden areas of west Carolina and east Tennessee

Excellent analysis, Infidel.

Yes, every *illegal* is a criminal for having broken the laws about how to go about entering the country
To hide, protect, support a criminal, is in itself, criminal activity.

And aoc is an idiot. She thought she had him stumped….interrupted him when he was speaking to state an error and when he ‘schooled’ her on the law, began to stammer.
aoc…like many others, including jayapal who wanted the filibuster, but now she doesn’t..
Too many in favor of breaking the laws are in the *business* of writing laws for the rest of us. too bad so many of them are in the country legally.
