Fox News contributor Tom Homan on migrant surge.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
We have reiterated that our
borders are not open and people
should not make the dangerous
journey.
If you come to the United States
illegally, you will be returned.
Your journey will not succeed
and you will be Entang jerrying
your life and your familys
lives.
Brian. There you go
DHS Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas
claim some of the migrants
camped under the Del Rio Bridge
are being flown home.
He said, like six thousand,
our next guest says it wont, be
all those migrants,
Ainsley sources, telling Tom who
Heman that most migrants are
being released into our country.
They call those flights, a
quote distraction from the
truth.
Steve Tom Homan joins us right
now,
Tom, as we look at those images
from the bridge down in Del Rio,
Texas. You know we hear from
the administration, and the stats
from the government is that over
a million people have been
apprehended,
and that makes it sound like
they were stopped and then sent
back,
but of the million something
you know lets say what
proportion are actually sent
back,
because if there are children or
if there are women we have heard
from the most part they get to
come right on this
yeah.
No, the secretary, I watched
that news conference.
I wanted to throw something at
the tv
I dont know what the color of
the sky in his world is, but he
cannot say two things
number one: the Haitians will be
deported
when this first happened
about three quarters of them
were released,
it wasnt until they were called
on it that he decided. Okay, we
have got deport some,
but many are being released to
ice
and ice will release them.
I mean, if you look at the
number six detainees ice has been
ordered to release of the nine
criminals, its a shell game.
Maybe the border patrol is not
releasing them anymore in the
last couple days, but they are
being sent to ice
and they are being released from
ice.
Another thing he said when the
reporter asked him: do you have
operational control of the
border?
He said. Yes,
they have lost operational
control
when there is three hundred and fifty thousand got aways.
There is no operational control
when you surgery sources RGB in
the Dell Rio. That leaves
two hundred and twenty four miles of border unguarded. I
have seen the assignment sheets
two hundred and twenty four miles of southern border
were unguarded because they had
a surgery sources to these other
areas,
thats, not operational security
when the Haitians are moving
back and forth to Mexico for
supplies and freely coming into
the illegal camp on, U Dot S
property, that is not
operational control.
And finally, I will say this
talking to a senior border
patrol command official. He told
me Tom. We have lost control of
the border.
This is his term.
He said broken arrow,
we are overwhelmed.
We cant handle the incoming.
We are outmasd on this.
We have lost operational control
of this area
and that comes from the men
wearing green on the border,
doing the job
Ainsley. What specific stories
does he say when he talks to
these individuals?
A lot of the people are coming
across. The reason to believe
they are coming is the
administrations actions mean
more than words.
He gets up there all day, long
and say dont come you are going
to be removed,
but they have released hundreds
of thousands of people into the
country. Many with covid
people have seen this once they
get to their final destination.
They call their relatives and
friends
cartels. How many people being
released?
The secretary can say all he
wants. Dont come
based on their actions and how
many people have been released
into the United States. They are
going to keep coming.
So just warning them not to come
is not working.
Their actions speak louder than
words
Brian Tom dont tell us, dont
come
if they want to actually get
that message out. Take out ads
radio put it out to local
governments,
make them make the announcements
to let these people know dont
come.
He has a press conference.
He is telling us that he doesnt
want them to come.
Is this a joke,
its absolutely a joke?
Look you dont want them to
come, then enforce the law
detain people we move, people
stop releasing people
do what the Trump Administration
did.
That was operational control.
Do you know how many the Trump
Administration released
zero
remain in Mexico program?
Everybody went back
under this administration,
unaccompanied children, they
bypass title four.
Then they go to court and argue.
We need title forty, two,
the judge laughs them. You are
violating title forty two,
releasing most people into the
United States despite title four
have covid
now coming and argue that you
need it
again. Their actions have failed
the american people and taps
joke.
I have never seen anything like
this in my life
Brian, if they didnt have the
drones up in the air and didnt
show those virnls. Do you think
this would have been happening
now, even Mayorkas, going down
there?
No
thank God for this network.
This network pulled that scab
off and we have to keep on it
now other networks, starting to
cover it pushing the theory.
These people are being deported,
not true
Ainsley, especially if you have
kids
Lawrence Jones says. If you have
children, you get to stay.
Yes,
absolutely
Ainsley. Thank you. Tom.
