'When you start preaching 'open borders,' 'we won't detain you,' that's when more people come and that's when we're going to lose the border,' Tom Homan said.
Former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency chief Tom Homan struck at out Democrats over their"open border attitude" on Monday, blaming Democratic lawmakers for the recent deaths of migrant children held under federal custody.
"The reason that family units and the children are coming right now in record numbers, unprecedented numbers, is because they know we can't detain them all," the former ICE chief claimed.Noting that, on Monday, U.S. immigration officials had seen a fifth child held in their custody die on their watch within the span of six months, Homan appeared to lay blame on Gillibrand and other Democrats.
"So, if they want to blame, who's to blame for this child dying in custody today? They need to look in the mirror," Homan said. "Because, when you start preaching 'open borders,' 'we won't detain you,' that's when more people come and that's when we're going to lose the border for all." "So, her answer to that is detain less? That will cause a surge like you'd never believe. You think the numbers are bad now?" he said."That's what the problem is, when politicians like [Gillibrand] say things like, 'we won't detain anybody' and she supports sanctuary cities, she wants to abolish ICE... When you have the open border attitude more people are enticed to come to this country.
