On Wednesday, former acting ICE Director Tom Homan addressed the illegal immigration crisis at the southern border that began after President Biden took office, saying that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is lying about the conditions at the southern border and that he must be impeached.
Homan pointed to a new report from U.S. Customs and Border Protection that showed that border officials apprehended ten people on the U.S. terror watch list in the month of July, bringing the total number in fiscal year 2022 to 66 – more than twice the previous five years combined.
“We’ve got over 66 known suspected terrorists arrested by CBP because of the open border. If they’ve arrested 66, let’s go back to 900,000 got-aways. How many of them entered the country illegally, got away, that are known suspected terrorists? This man, Secretary Mayorkas, needs to be impeached,” Homan said during an appearance on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.”
“You’re looking at over 4 million encounters since Biden became president. You add to that, we’re at 900,000 got-aways now. They average about 50,000 got-aways a month.” Homan added.
Homan then claimed that Mayorkas committed perjury when he told Congress that the southern border is secure.
“The man has zero integrity. He said the same thing while under oath, testifying in front of Congress,” Homan said. “It was perjury. Day one, if the Republicans take back Congress, he needs to be impeached. He has violated the oath he took. He’s made this country less safe.”
Homan said the United States needs to return to the border policies of the Trump administration which resulted in “the most secure border” of his lifetime.
