President Barack Obama’s immigration chief, Thomas Homan admitted this week that it was the Obama Administration that set up the so-called cages, designed to house illegal aliens. He said…
“I’ve been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under [Homeland Security] Secretary Jeh Johnson. I was there because I was there when it was built.”
Obama’s immigration Chief even noted how a Democratic chairman at a congressional hearing asked a Trump official…
“You still keeping kids in cages?”
Homam said that he would have responded to that question by stating…
“The kids are being house in the same facility built under the Obama administration. If you want to call them cages, call them cages. But if the left wants to call them cages and the Democrats want to call them cages then they have to accept the fact that they were built and funded in Fiscal Year 2015.”
Homan added that the facilities were designed, not as a punishment, but as a means of “protecting children!” Homan went on to point out that the facilities, along the border…
“were not built to take care of children,” and added that “it’s chain link dividers that keeps children separate from unrelated adults. It’s about protecting children!”
In 2017, Homan also told a House Appropriations subcommittee that…
“It isn’t the fault of law enforcement that people get separated. It’s the fault of the perpetrator. If someone enters this country illegally and knows he’s in the country illegally and is found to be in the country illegally and is ordered removed from the country and chooses to have a child in this country that’s a U.S. citizen by virtue of birth, he put himself in that position, so ICE is not separating that family! Unlike other agencies, we do this despite a constant deluge of biased attacks against ICE personnel by those who disagree with the laws we enforce. While I recognize that people have the right to protest laws they don’t agree with I want to emphasize to the public and to the media and to this committee that ice officers don’t write the laws. They enforce the laws. Those who choose to enter this country illegally which is a crime, a federal crime, or to overstay their visa have knowingly chosen to break the law.”
“I’ve said many times, there are over 100,000 family units with final orders, been ordered removed by an immigration judge. We need to seek them out and return them to their homeland. We need to execute the final orders issued by the judges, or there’s no integrity to the entire system. That’s not being done; we need to do it. I did it four years ago and it worked. I can’t understand why that’s not happening.”
Just maybe, if the Democrats spent more time helping the Trump Administration’s efforts to resolve the border crisis by funding and stopping all the lawsuits, and cooperating, the border crisis would be resolved, and resolved quickly! Unfortunately, the Democrats don’t really care about resolving the border crisis, or humanitarian crisis! Instead, they look at it as a way to try to influence American’s opinions and attitudes about the President, so they can retake power, and institute a Marxist based government, with a Socialist based economy! After all, in the end, it is all about power and greed for the now-radicalized left-wing Democrat Party!
