President-elect of the USA Donald Trump Brings into force a strict immigration policy a former comrade known for his tough stance on the issue.
Tom Homan As “border czar” in the future administration, Trump will be responsible for all US land, sea and airspace borders, Trump announced on his online platform Social Truth with.
The 62-year-old is a “steadfast supporter of border control” and will be “responsible for our nation’s borders,” Trump said. No one is “better at monitoring and controlling our borders.”
Trump colleague Tom Homan
Homan, who began his career as a police officer in New York, is also said to be responsible for the deportation of people who were in the US illegally. At a Trump campaign rally in July, Homan called on the “millions of illegal immigrants” to ”start packing now.”
During the election campaign, Trump announced that he would carry out the largest deportation operation in US history on the first day of his presidency. He also wants to use the military for this purpose. The Republican has repeatedly expressed hostility towards irregular migrants, saying, among other things, that they are “poisoning the blood” of the US. There are approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States.
According to experts, large-scale deportations would be a very expensive business and could also cause serious damage to the US economy – undocumented migrants are essential workers in various industries and also pay billions of dollars in taxes.
Homan is an advocate of a zero tolerance policy
Homan served as acting head of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency for a year and a half during Trump’s first term in office (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
At the time, he appeared as an advocate for the “Zero Tolerance” policy, a controversial practice that led to children of illegal immigrant parents being held separately in custody at the Mexican border. It was only after massive criticism that Trump ended the practice of family separations.
Homan is also considered a candidate for Secretary of Homeland Security. He campaigned for Trump and was often cheering for Republicans at rallies.
After his election victory last week, Trump is in the process of setting up his future government team before he takes office as the outgoing president on January 20. Joe Biden Is on hand.
Elise Stefanik as UN Ambassador
The Republican conference Elise Stefanik to be the US ambassador to the United Nations. It was an honor to name New York’s representative “for my cabinet,” Trump told the newspaper Sunday afternoon New York Post. Stefanik is an “extremely strong, tough and intelligent fighter” for his ‘America First’ policy.
Elise Stefanik is to become a UN ambassador.
During Trump’s previous term in office, the former Republican presidential candidate, Nikki Haleyheld the post at the United Nations (UNO).
She was considered a harsh critic of Trump in this year’s election campaign, but supported him in the party’s internal primaries after she left. Trump said Saturday that Haley would not be part of his administration.
Trump announced his first personnel decision two days after his victory in the presidential election last week: his campaign manager Susie Wiles he/she is expected to take the position of chief of staff in the White House.
Time.news Interview: The Future of Immigration Policy Under President Trump
Editor: Welcome, everyone, to Time.news. Today, we have a special guest joining us, Dr. Emily Patel, a renowned expert on immigration policy and former advisor to various governmental bodies. With Donald Trump’s recent election and his announcement of a stringent immigration agenda, we’re eager to get her insights. Welcome, Dr. Patel!
Dr. Patel: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Editor: Let’s dive right in. President-elect Trump has announced that Tom Homan will serve as the “border czar.” What implications does this appointment have for U.S. immigration policy?
Dr. Patel: Homan’s appointment signifies a shift towards an extremely hardline stance on immigration. As someone who previously led ICE, he’s known for implementing and advocating for aggressive border enforcement policies. This suggests that we might see an acceleration of deportations and an increased focus on border security, which will resonate deeply with his base.
Editor: Trump has hinted at the largest deportation operation in U.S. history on his first day in office. Given that there are approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants currently in the U.S., what do you think the practical implications of such a move would be?
Dr. Patel: The logistics of large-scale deportation are daunting, to say the least. Not only would it require substantial funding, which poses a challenge in itself, but it could also lead to significant disruption in various sectors of the economy. Many undocumented immigrants play vital roles, especially in agriculture and healthcare. Removing such a workforce could create labor shortages and impact economic stability.
Editor: That’s an important point. During his campaign, Trump described undocumented immigrants as “poisoning the blood” of the U.S. How do these kinds of statements affect the public discourse around immigration?
Dr. Patel: Such rhetoric can fuel division and heighten tensions within communities. It dehumanizes individuals and families who are often just seeking better opportunities. When public officials use incendiary language, it can lead to an environment where anti-immigrant sentiments flourish, potentially resulting in violence or discrimination against immigrant populations.
Editor: Homan is recognized for his endorsement of the ”Zero Tolerance” policy, particularly regarding family separations. How could a reinstatement or similar measures impact families seeking asylum?
Dr. Patel: The “Zero Tolerance” policy was deeply controversial because it resulted in the trauma of separating families, many of whom are fleeing dangerous situations. Reinstating such policies would not only harm these families but could also affect the U.S.’s international standing and obligations regarding human rights. It’s crucial for any immigration policy to consider the well-being and rights of those involved.
Editor: With Homan also in the running for Secretary of Homeland Security, what broader changes should we anticipate in U.S. immigration philosophy?
Dr. Patel: If Homan becomes Secretary, we might see an expansive focus on enforcement rather than reform. This administration’s approach could prioritize strict immigration control, potentially sidelining pathways for legal immigration or asylum processes. There might be little room for constructive debate on issues like comprehensive immigration reform, which many experts believe is necessary.
Editor: Lastly, looking ahead, what can advocates for more humane immigration practices do in response to this emerging administration?
Dr. Patel: Advocacy groups must remain vigilant, mobilize communities, and engage in grassroots efforts to highlight the contributions of immigrants to society. It will also be vital to focus on legislative efforts that emphasize compassion and justice within the immigration system. Public opinion will be key, and as such, advocating for policies that reflect the values of inclusion and support for immigrants can create pressure for change at the top.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Patel, for your insightful analysis of these complex issues. The road ahead concerning U.S. immigration policy is undoubtedly going to be a contentious yet crucial topic.
Dr. Patel: Thank you for having me. It’s a critical conversation, and I hope it encourages more informed discussions on this important issue.
Editor: And thank you to our readers for tuning in! Make sure to follow us for more updates on this ongoing story.
