Trump Border Czar Tom Homan: Illegal Parents Will Make Sophie’s Choice About Citizen kids
ROUND-UP WARNING
Take your American-born children with you or leave them behind, they will be told.

Tom Homan says illegal immigrants will be given the choice of whether to leave with their American-born children.


Parents will be separated from their children and deported if they are in the United States illegally, according to Donald Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan.

Homan said the new administration won’t hesitate to kick out parents even if they have children born in the United States.

The only concession, he told the Washington Post, was that the families would be left to decide whether to leave the country together – or be split up.


“Here’s the issue, you knew you were in the country illegally and chose to have a child. So you put your family in that position,” said Homan, who oversaw the border policy during Trump’s first term that resulted in more than 4,000 children being separated from their parents.

IDK how I'm controlling the undercurrent of rage that courses through me. I want to scream. I want to call up every GD person I know who voted for this & scream at them, "You stupid fucks!"

I guess that's just a rhetorical question, because it seems there are a lot of mean, shitty people in this country - and now we will be governed by mean, shitty people.

Remember Attorney General Jeff Sessions did this back in the first Trump presidency.

This from the folk who want to limit contraception and have already made abortion difficult. What a fucking hypocrite.

On edit. Does this make him PRO-CHOIOCE?

I hope the Chicago mayor and IL governor have a plan in place for this. I believe Homan when he says he’s coming for democratic sanctuary cities first.

This is going to get ugly very very quickly
