Following the recent U.S. presidential election, discussions surrounding immigration policy and border security have intensified. Former President Donald Trump is expected to prioritize executive actions aimed at curbing mass immigration and initiating the removal of over 30 million undocumented immigrants upon taking office. Critics of President Biden's administration, including former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Tom Homan, have highlighted what they describe as a deliberate effort to 'unsecure' the southern border, suggesting that this policy shift has led to historic levels of illegal immigration. Homan emphasized the need for oversight and accountability regarding the involvement of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the United Nations in border management, asserting that the current situation represents a significant national security vulnerability. He also suggested that the Biden administration's approach may be politically motivated, speculating that the administration hopes to gain future Democratic voters from the immigrant population. Homan's remarks indicate a belief that the increase in illegal immigration is not merely a result of mismanagement but rather a policy designed to create a more open border environment.
