Incoming Trump administration border czar Tom Homan was overcome with emotion on Friday night when he talked about illegal immigration and why he gets “so emotional” about the issue.
“A lot of people ask me why I get so emotional … why I scream at members of congress,” Homan said on Fox News. “[It’s] because I’ve seen so much tragedy, I’ve talked to hundreds of angel moms and dads who’ve buried their children who’ve been killed by illegal aliens.”
“I’ve talked to little girls that are as young as nine years old who were raped multiple times by members of cartels. When you look in her eyes, everything innocent and pure has been ripped from her soul, and her life will never be the same,” a choked-up Homan continued.
“I’m tired of it,” he said.
Homan noted that the family of Laken Riley, a murder victim of an illegal immigrant, were failed by the Biden administration. Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal, was recently found guilty on 10 charges, including murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault with intent to rape Riley, a Georgia nursing student.
“If President Trump was president [when Ibarra tried to cross the border], he’d be sitting in Mexico for the ‘Remain in Mexico’ program,” Homan said.

The immigration hawk has made it clear that mayors and governors who oversee so-called “sanctuary” cities and states will have to cooperate, or get out of the way.
“You’re not going to stop us doing what we’re going to do,” he said, according to Fox News.
“We’ll move them to a state where we can detain them,” Homan explained. “There are plenty of sheriffs across this country who are willing to give us empty beds. They want the funding, and we can put them in jail all across the country.”
“We’ll have no problem finding a place to detain these people,” he added. “It’s going to cost money, so we’ve got to have the money to do it, but President Trump’s going to do everything he can to make sure we have the funds to do this. So, they will be arrested, detained, put on an airplane and go home.”
