On Friday, border czar Tom "The Hammer" Homan went on Stephen A. Smith's podcast and provided an update on the situation at the border - and made some pretty astute remarks about the Biden administration's failures, which, as it turns out, may have been deliberate.
Border czar Tom Homan explained to Stephen A. Smith on a podcast Friday why he thinks former President Joe Biden purposely let illegal immigrants in.
During an episode of “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” Smith pointed out Biden’s deviation from both former President Barack Obama’s and President Donald Trump’s immigration strategies, saying that Obama had deported more immigrants than Trump, yet Biden reversed many of these policies upon entering office in 2020. Homan shared his thoughts on Biden’s motives.
“Why do I think he did it on purpose? Because Joe Biden was vice president under Barack Obama when he had those record removals. Alejandro Mayorkas was a deputy secretary under Obama when he had those removals,” Homan said. “And we had families. We had thousands of families come across the border every day. How did we stop it? We built family residential centers. We held them long enough to see a judge, 90% lost a case, 90%, so we put them on an airplane, sent them home and border numbers tanked.”
In other words, the Obama administration was considerably less friendly to illegal aliens than the Biden administration, not though that's a terribly high bar to surmount.
Mr. Homan continued:
“So both those men [Biden and Mayorkas] knew how we solved that crisis. When it came back in, as the now secretary and the president, what did they do? The complete opposite. They didn’t defend. They released. They didn’t make them see a judge, and they weren’t removing them,” Homan said. “So they did a complete opposite of what they knew worked under President Obama.”
Homan speculated as to whether these policy reversals were strategic, aimed at increasing Democratic influence by boosting their numbers in the House of Representatives.
“I think this administration thought these millions of people are gonna be future Democratic voters, but one of the things Biden also did, in addition to destroying all the programs we put in place to give us the most secure border, he overturned the Trump census rule, which means millions of people that they released in sanctuary cities will be counted in the next census,” Homan said. “Which is going to result in more seats in the House for the Dems. So I truly believe they saw a future political benefit with this.”
It's hard to read minds, but think on it: if the Biden administration had wanted to open the borders deliberately, for the reasons Mr. Homan describes, what would they have done differently?

If Mr. Homan is correct - and he may very well be, as all the pieces line up very nicely - then what we have seen is a deliberately facilitated invasion of the United States, enabled by a presidential administration, for political purposes. This is political malfeasance of the first water, and while Joe Biden, as we are learning, may have had even less idea as to what was going on than we suspected, there would have had to have been administration members at the highest levels involved in this.
Like, say, the vice president.
There are many reasons, and more becoming apparent by the day, that the American republic dodged not a bullet but the annual output of all the ammunition factories in the world when Donald Trump won reelection. There is a considerable mess to clean up because of the Biden administration, but think about the mess a Harris administration would have left behind on top of that.
The Republic may well not have survived that one.
