Summary

President-elect Donald Trump is expected to sign a slew of executive order on his first day in office, including multiple that pertain to securing America’s southern border with Mexico.    “I think people are going to be pleased with the executive orders he is going to sign,” Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, told "The Daily Signal Podcast," adding, “I'm familiar with many of them, but I'm not going to get ahead of the president on that.”   Homan, who served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Trump from January 2017 to June 2018, said had he expects the president to “go back to what was successful” at the border during his first administration.   “We go back to Remain in Mexico, third safe country agreements, end catch and release, continue building that wall,” Homan said.    While many the Americans who voted for Trump will likely be pleased with the president’s actions to secure the border, Trump’s border and immigration agenda will also be met with resistance, Homan predicts.    “I think we're going to take a lot of hate,” he said. “We're going to be sued every day, numerous times. I think you'll see the left try to control the media. They're going to show the first crying female, first crying child, and say how inhumane we are. But they won’t to talk about the 340,000 children that they've failed to take care of," Homan said, presumably referring to the Biden administration.   The leftist corporate media will “tell one side of the story,” Homan said. “they'll try to vilify us, but they're not going to stop us from doing [our] job.”    After what he has witnessed while serving both as a border Patrol Agent and in ICE, Homan says he does not care what the media says about him.    Homan joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” for a special bonus edition to discuss the resources the Trump administration will need to carry out deportations of illegal aliens, and what information he expects to be uncovered regarding the Biden administration’s handling of the southern border.    Enjoy the show!
