Description
Former ICE Director Tom Homan has been at the forefront of the conservative fight to secure our borders and offers proof that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime. Illegal immigration is the most controversial and emotional issue this country faces today. President Trump was elected on his promise to fix illegal immigration and build a wall on our southern border. Because he won on this issue, the Democrats refuse to work with him, and we experienced a government shutdown as a show more result of this divide. The Democrats have supported funding in the past and, in his State of the Union, the President said that he wants to unify and work together to resolve this and all the other challenges facing America. The Democrats sat on their hands. They won't budge. Clearly, as a party, they don't care about the facts, only about denying whatever success they can to this president. Former ICE Director and Fox News contributor Tom Homan knows the facts. He's spent his life on the border and knows that if we don't control illegal immigration now, this country will continue to suffer the consequences of crime, drugs, and financial strain - and it will get much much worse. In Defend the Border and Save Lives, Homan shares what illegal immigration is really about. Illegal immigration should not be a partisan issue. Now is the time to fix this issue that has claimed so many victims and divided this country. We need to pull the curtain back and expose what truly happens and separate facts from fiction. Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime, and the victims are the illegals and their innocent children as well as the Americans who suffer at the hand of the criminals who sneak into this country. show lessTags

Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy by Kash Pramod Patel
themulhern These are both books written as job applications. And they both worked as each author now has a significant position in the Trump administration.

Tom Homan's job application book. It worked, and he got the job. The style is conversational and direct. Five stars for being the only book of its kind.

- We've got to keep Donald Trump in office in 2020. If we don't win, the border is in big trouble, and so is our country.
I've seen more massive changes on the border in the last three years than I've ever seen in my ent... (show all)ire career. This president is trying to maintain the rule of law. Every Democrat nominee wants to ignore those laws, erase the border, and buy votes from immigrants with an endless list of free enticements. They want the power of the the White House for the foreseeable future. So they want future votes.
The more people who are counted in the census means more seats in the House of Representatives. That's why the Democrats are pushing back on the citizenship question on the current census. They've argued that the count would be artificially low because those here illegally would not participate. But these politicians want every person in this country, legally and illegally, counted as citizens because it will expand their power. Most illegal aliens reside in liberal districts, which would mean more Democrat congressional seats and more sway in the electoral college.
These career politicians care more about their reelection and political power than they do about this nation's sovereignty and your safety. They hate this president more than they love this country.

A clear example of sanctuary policies in action is how MS-13 gang members operate. Almost all of their activity is within the immigrant community. This means that almost every victim is an immigrant - legal and illegal. Lefti... (show all)st politicians claim to care so much for immigrants, yet they establish policies that handcuff police and put residents in greater danger. If illegal aliens are afraid of anyone in their community, it should be those who put revolving doors on local jails. If you're here illegally but otherwise trying to walk the straight and narrow and live in a sanctuary city, are you going to report crimes to the local police? Of course not. The criminal will be right back on your street, looking for those who informed the cops.

As a special agent, I arrested several U.S. citizens for harboring and concealing illegal aliens in their homes. I've arrested business owners for concealing - and sometimes enslaving - illegal aliens in their place of busine... (show all)ss. It is a federal felony to knowingly harbor or conceal an illegal alien (8 USC 1324). Again, I have arrested nonpoliticians for this crime. How are cities and counties that harbor and conceal criminal aliens in their jails and refuse ICE access to them any different from those citizens I arrested? Hopefully, the Department of Justice will pursue this further.
When I first mentioned this perspective on sanctuary cities, people shrieked, "Homan wants to arrest politicians!" I never said that. The question is: Why is it a federal crime for a citizen to harbor and conceal illegal aliens, but not a federal crime for a municipality or a politician? Seems like a perfectly rational question. No wonder they want to change the subject. And as far as "knowingly conceal," let me clarify. When someone is arrested and booked, their fingerprints will be taken and run through the FBI's National Crime Center to check for criminal history or any warrants. At the same time, those prints are run through DHS databases to search for immigration history. When we get a hit on immigration history and records show, based on those fingerprints, that the person is here illegally, has been deported before, or has an outstanding warrant for deportation, we contact the law enforcement agency that ran the prints and issue a detainer. Therefore, there is no doubt that this person is here illegally and there is no doubt that the jurisdiction holding him knows this, because we informed them. If a municipality ignore this information and refuses to work with ICE, aren't they harboring and concealing those criminals?
