Brace yourself for a gut-wrenching tale from the front lines of America’s border crisis.
According to Breitbart, in a powerful interview on The Alex Marlow Show podcast, held in Washington, D.C., Border Czar Tom Homan laid bare the human tragedy fueling his mission to secure the nation’s borders.
During this candid conversation, Homan recounted a harrowing case of a 9-year-old migrant girl who suffered repeated, violent assaults at the hands of cartel smugglers while making the perilous journey across the border.
The trauma inflicted on this young child, Homan emphasized, has left an indelible mark, robbing her of a normal life.
“Now that little girl, her life will never be the same. Everything innocent and pure was ripped from her,” Homan said with raw emotion.
That kind of heartbreak, he explained, is a key driver behind his relentless push to stop unauthorized migration and strengthen border protections.
Homan didn’t hold back on why this issue keeps him up at night, citing this case as just one of many that propel his advocacy for tougher policies.
“So, that’s why I fight hard. And a lot of people ask, ‘Why do you get emotional when you’re on TV?’ Why do you get emotional in front of Congress? Because we can fix this,” Homan declared, making it clear this isn’t just politics—it’s personal.
While some might roll their eyes at such passion, let’s be real: when you’ve seen the darkest side of human suffering, staying detached isn’t an option.
Turning to policy, Homan pointed to what he sees as a golden era of border security under the Trump administration, often referred to as Trump 45, claiming it was the most fortified in the nation’s history. Contrast that with his sharp critique of the Biden administration, which he accused of deliberately dismantling those safeguards, not through oversight but by calculated choice.
Now, if you’re scratching your head wondering why anyone would undo a secure system, you’re not alone—Homan’s frustration is palpable, and it’s hard to argue with the logic of wanting safety first.
Every morning, Homan admitted, he wakes up burdened by anger, haunted by the knowledge of what’s happening at the border based on his decades of experience.
He reflected on the grim realities—lives lost, women and children exploited, forced labor to settle smuggling debts, deadly drugs like fentanyl pouring in, potential threats from hostile regions, and cartels raking in profits while chaos reigns.
If that laundry list of horrors doesn’t make you question the current state of border enforcement, perhaps it’s time to wake up from the progressive dreamland and face the hard facts Homan is laying out.
