Day by day, it's becoming more and more apparent that Tom Homan is the right man to serve as President-elect (*Acting President*) Donald Trump's border czar. He is forceful, he is focused, he will not be swayed or dissuaded - and he doesn't suffer fools lightly. In the latest demonstration of these qualities, a Congresswoman from Illinois, Rep. Delia Ramirez, warned Homan that he had better be ready for resistance.

Homan fired back. And it was glorious.

Incoming border czar Tom Homan is not backing down from his plans to lead President-elect Trump’s mass deportation operation in Chicago after a Democratic congresswoman told him to "be ready to meet the resistance."

"Message received. Please review 18 USC 111 and also see 8 USC 1324 (iii)," Homan told Fox News Digital in an interview on Wednesday. "Game on."

He was referring to two laws, one prohibiting impeding a federal law enforcement officer and the other prohibiting the harboring or concealing of illegal immigrants from immigration officers. 

"So, message received, please review this statute and that statute and game on," he said.

This is the message that Tom "The Hammer" Homan (Yes, I think I will start calling him that; it fits) replied to:

"Tom Homan, the next time you come to #IL03 — a district made stronger and more powerful by immigrants — you better be ready to meet the resistance," she warned.

"You may think Chicago needs to get out of the way of Trump's plans for mass deportation, but we plan to get ALL UP IN YOUR WAY."

Yeah, good luck with that, Congresswoman.

The laws he mentions have to do with interfering with federal officers in the discharge of their duties. 18 USC 111 involves "Assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees" while 8 USC 1324 (iii) deals with "...knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation."

Mr. Homan isn't kidding around. He's serious about this job and gives every indication that other elected officials around the country, especially in "sanctuary" jurisdictions, can either lead, follow, or get out of his way.

Tom Homan also said:

"President Trump and I have been clear on every interview I do, that right out of the gate, we're going to be prioritizing public safety threats," Homan said. "Any elected official who wants to prevent the removal of public safety threats from their communities, especially if they're illegal aliens, is not doing their job. Because their job, their number one responsibility to their communities is protection of that community, the safety of that community."

It's baffling that a member of Congress doesn't seem to understand that people who are in the country illegally shouldn't be here soaking up public resources, much less that it is actually the proper role of the federal government to enforce our borders - which includes preventing people from entering illegally and deporting them if they do so. The incoming administration has made it abundantly clear that their focus will initially be on illegal aliens that are known to be a clear and present danger, such as known criminals and gang members. 

The law is plain. We have immigration and border laws for a reason. It's past time we started taking them seriously. With each passing day, it becomes more and more apparent that Tom "The Hammer" Homan is the man for the job.
