Tom Homan defends immigration strategy against AOC's criticism

Tom Homan, the border czar, spoke about his frequent criticism from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). He said he enjoys that he "lives in her mind rent free" and believes it shows he is making an impact. Homan made these comments during an interview on Fox News. Ocasio-Cortez has criticized Homan for his appearances on cable news. She argues that these interviews take away resources from real law enforcement efforts, particularly in fighting human trafficking and drug enforcement. She expressed these concerns during a recent interview with YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen. In response, Homan dismissed her claims. He pointed to statistics, stating that his team has arrested more criminal illegal aliens in six weeks than the Biden administration did in a year. He claimed that there has been a significant decline in immigration, suggesting that this prevents harm to vulnerable individuals and keeps communities safer. Homan believes that the administration's actions have improved safety and security in places like New York. He stated that whether or not Ocasio-Cortez agrees with him is not important. He is committed to continuing the current policies, regardless of the criticism he receives.
