Let new border czar do his job

So, I need to get clear on something. Over the past year or so. Gov. Abbot of Texas has seen thousands of undocumented immigrants cross the southern border unchecked by the Biden administration. In all probability, most of these folks are just looking for a better life. However, some could be criminals released from jails and told, go to the U.S., no problem.

Gov. Abbott bused thousands north to sanctuary city Chicago, Illinois. Welcome home, undocumented immigrants, but you can’t expect us to house you, educate you and take care of your health care issues.

Now, our soon-to-become border czar comes to Chicago and tells the mayor and governor the criminal element are going to be sent back. Tom Homan will not be going to shelters to deport everyone. Homan is going to deport those migrants who have committed criminal acts. That is his priority.

No, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who said we couldn’t handle the busloads being sent here, now want everyone to stay. Didn’t you two hear what actual citizens said by the results of the election?

Migrants are a crisis. Let Homan do his job. Even better, why don’t you help him rather than play politics.
