I’m a bit disappointed by the soft talk coming from Border Czar Tom Homan.
Homan, especially under a Trump administration, has been a fire-and-brimstone guy. He talks tough and backs it up with action.
When Boston Mayor Michele Wu began badmouthing ICE a few months ago, Homan vowed to begin crackdowns on illegal aliens in the city saying, “I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me.”
I’ve never known Homan to be more of a peacemaker than a rabblerouser, but that was the role he assumed in Minnesota this week.
Following the moronic deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti – the consequences of their own actions – President Trump sent Homan to the mound to pull out DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Trump was reportedly unhappy with the headlines ICE had been recently generating, and wanted Homan to exercise his expertise with more surgical precision instead of the heavy-handedness agents had been displaying.
After meeting with Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and numerous law enforcement department heads, Homan held a press conference to announce the progress that had been made.
Homan imparted the good news that Minnesota State Police would begin immediately cooperating with ICE in a crowd-control capacity. This was a long-overdue development, and we may even see lawsuits from the Good and Pretti families against the State of Minnesota for their negligence. Had they been assisting ICE in a supportive manner from jump, Good would not have had an opportunity to use her SUV as an ICE damn and Pretti would have been in cuffs for vandalizing a police vehicle and assaulting officers with his saliva.
Homan also announced that MN county jails would begin to notify ICE of violent illegal aliens being released into the public beforehand.
But apparently this cooperation from MN staties came at a cost.
“This is common sense cooperation that allows [us] to draw down on the number of people we have here,” Homan said. “Yes, I said it. Draw down on the number of people here.”
In other words, ICE would soon be retreating from Minneapolis. Not all at once. But a trickled retreat.
Homan said ICE’s main focus in Minneapolis and the rest of the state would be on the violent criminal illegals.
This isn’t what I voted for.
I voted for ICE to remove every single illegal alien they could possibly find.
I voted to significantly reduce the benefits being fraudulently paid out to illegal invaders.
I voted to stop allowing Somali fraudsters to send my tax dollars overseas.
I voted to lower my health insurance premiums that had skyrocketed because of the illegal aliens getting free treatment from taxpayer-filled hospitalization funds.
I voted to reduce my wait time in an emergency room when facing serious injury or illness instead of standing in line behind all of the newly arrived undocumented citizens who had come down with a light case of the sniffles.
I voted to stop having every sign in every store also printed in Spanish.
I voted for more Americans to be gainfully employed at decent wages.
Focusing on the violent criminal element of the illegals does next to nothing to accomplish any of those goals. Yes, deporting the rapists, pedophiles, and murderers among them helps to make our cities safer. But it doesn’t restore the wealth to the communities. It doesn’t protect our tax dollars from black hole spending.
Taking a softer approach in Minnesota sends up the signal to other states ICE may soon visit: fight back and they’ll go away.
That’s not what I voted for.
I want them all out.
