'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.

Uh...NO

Democrats didn’t separate families or lock up children! Republicans always passing the buck- assholes!

Yeah..can’t spin that

Is there ANYTHING they don’t blame on the dems when something reflects badly on them

Democrats are to blame

More it ain’t me. 😂😂😂

Because racist hateful greedy people believe anything

This article is absolutely propaganda & false. This is written to attempt to redirect the blame for the outcome & repercussions of what the current American President has planned & executed, intending to harm the vulnerable & less fortunate people both outside & within the USA.

I think there’s enough blame to go around.

The Republicans will never take responsibility for anything they do. Sick of it!

Really?! What an Ass

Democrats did not take these children from their parents or detain them in cages or cage them without adequate care, you trumpicide. You people are poison.

I don’t know why this BD makes headlines

THESE trump PEOPLE ARE GETTING SICKER AND SICKER ALWAYS BLAMING THE WRONG PEOPLE FOR THERE MISTAKES TRUTH

Bleach hair is the only one responsable

o emir do Qatar foi exposto como um animal sem cuecas para verem o tamanho de seu membro sexual em pleno Pentágono foi lá para tentar um acordo do desbloqueio do Qatar trump colocou uma base militar lá e foi tomado pela baixa maçonaria de Aécio Neves e FIFA genocidio

SAY WHAT

He can suggest all he wants but it’s plain to see who is running the country. RepublicanLiars Want to stop the Murder of innocent children, ImpeachTrump

Without a doubt. They are behind all these people walking 1000’s miles to our border. Someone is paying for it. The magnates the Democrats have built to exploit these poor people is horrific.

Mo_TPAT

Who is tell authorities too cage these kids. GOP and mainly Trump is responsible.

Republicans always blaming others for their evil deeds. They won’t take any responsibility for what they do.

Shameless

Stronzo!

What the fuck

Rachel_McRea Dangerous sociopaths

God forbid they take responsibility for their own actions. Besides hypocrisy the Republican party are now famous for playing the victims whiles victimizing other. They have NO SHAME, NO INTEGRITY and have ABANDONED PATRIOTISM ALL TOGETHER.

Former ICE Chief is correct! Democrats are treason to USA, ignited border crisis & denied the crisis created social turmoils, divided USA then turn around blame on Trump & want to impeach Trump! What kind of politic party not work for American but trying to destroy USA? Naive!

🙄

No surprises there. I was told by a Trump Republican (to be fair, not all Republicans are Trumpists) that Harry Reid is to blame for Mitch McConnell’s failures. She also blamed President Obama for September 11th and the Roe v Wade ruling (he was 11 years old in Jan 1973)... 🤦🏾‍♀️

ArcticFox_am_I God knows exactly who is responsible for the caging of babies, callous cruel evil separations of families, neglect, abuse, murder, heinous acts of inhumanity... Those responsible will know God's wrath for eternity.

He’s right. The open invitation is putting people at risk.

seriously?

Laugh all week about that one!!!! Better humour than SNL skits!

The Democratic Party is responsible for the entire fiasco on the border. They are the party of obstructionists.

No you as bad as Trump. He is always blaming.

He is correct, because they won't help fix the problem.

the dems didn't deter them.. they think of them as COLLATERAL damage for gaining illegals votes.. why didn't Obama fix this?

Wouldn't that be nice for the ICE chief? Too bad it's bullshit. The buck stops with the asshole in charge. Suck it up or give up the paycheck.

Absurd?

He's not wrong.

So many thugs, so many sociopaths
