   Leftist comedian Bill Maher tried to trap Border Czar Tom Homan this   
   weekend with the standard liberal fantasy: just give amnesty to the   
   millions of illegal immigrants already in the country. Homan shredded that   
   argument piece by piece. His reasoning was so airtight that even Maher’s   
   leftist crowd had no choice but to applaud. It’s not every day you see   
   progressives cheer for enforcement, but logic wins when it’s delivered   
   that well.   
      
   Maher asked Homan why the agency couldn’t just go easier on those in the   
   country illegally.   
      
   Homan didn’t mince words: “What I’m saying is, that’s why you have to show   
   there’s consequences. Because if you send a message there’s no   
   consequences, and you want to reward illegal behavior, that’s not going to   
   stop.”   
      
   Maher then responded with the left’s favorite talking point about the   
   immigration raids. “But what we also see is people being just taken away   
   who are just regular-day workers," he said. "The waitress who worked for   
   14 years at some coffee shop. And everybody’s like, ’Oh, you know what? We   
   voted to get rid of the bad people, you know, the people you were just   
   talking about, but not Carol. What’s going on there?’ Don’t you think it’s   
   been a little heavy-handed? Don’t you think you’ve picked up a bunch of   
   people who shouldn’t be picked up at all? It doesn’t seem like it was done   
   with a scalpel.”   
      
   Homan responded firmly, laying out the agency’s priorities and the broader   
   impact on the immigration system. “What I think about every day is, again,   
   we prioritize the worst first, and the numbers show we do it. What I’ve   
   said from day one, if you’re in the country illegally, you’re not off the   
   table. You know why? Because there are millions of people standing in   
   line, taking their tests, doing the background investigations, paying   
   their fees to be part of the greatest nation on earth. If you want to be a   
   part of greatest nation, there’s a right way and wrong way to do it. If   
   like it or not, the ones who are here illegally cheated the system.”   
      
   Homan went on to explain how illegal immigration affects those following   
   the law: “They moved themselves to the front of the line and they’ve   
   overwhelmed the immigration court system back nine, ten years, which means   
   the people who are really trying to come here the right way are sitting in   
   the back of the bus, right? It’s just like—but people don’t talk about   
   these 10 million, 10.5 million who came to the border under Biden. Well,   
   they’re asylum seekers. What people don’t understand, if you look at   
   immigration court data over the last 10 years, nearly nine out of 10 of   
   them will get an order of removal because they don’t qualify for support   
   asylum. They’re not escaping fear and persecution from their home   
   government because of race, religion, and political affiliation. They’re   
   coming here for a better life and I get that. But while they’re clogging   
   up the system and cheating the system, there are literally thousands of   
   people in this world that really are escaping fear and persecution from   
   their home countries that are sitting in the back of the bus.”   
      
   Homan concluded with a simple reminder of the rule of law. “So there,   
   there’s a reason we’re a nation of laws," he said. "And if people don’t   
   like what ICE is doing, they go scream at Congress. We’re enforcing the   
   law ’cause they enacted it.”   
      
   And the audience responded with applause, acknowledging the clarity and   
   logic of Homan’s argument. I don’t know about you, but I think if Bill   
   Maher’s audience can understand and agree with Homan’s arguments, then   
   everyone can.   
      
   Tom Homan just schooled Bill Maher so thoroughly that even his woke   
   audience applauded border enforcement! The left’s amnesty fantasy crumbled   
   under the weight of simple logic and facts.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
