Border Czar Tom Homan had a message for left-wing haters and cartel members who have regularly been threatening his life: “Come get some.”
Homan made his remarks on Friday during a speech at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference in Washington, D.C.

During the speech, he laid out the Trump administration’s historic success in righting the wrongs of former President Joe Biden’s disastrous open-door immigration policies.
He also said while there has been substantial progress made so far, there is more coming, noting that DHS was adding 10,000 more agents to its ranks.
“We had a historic year with deportations, but now we got 10,000 more agents on board, or should be on board, by the end of next month,” he said.
“Wait till next year.”
Homan noted that he regularly receives death threats and that it is impossible for him to travel without a security detail. But he also said he refuses to back down in the face of those threats.
And he described what President Trump said to him when asking him to become his border czar.

He told the audience Trump said, “You’ve been bitching about [illegal immigration] for four years, you want to come fix it?”
Homan responded: “How do you say ‘no’ to that?”
The immigration chief also pushed back on left-wing Democrat attacks that Trump’s border policies are “inhumane.”
Just the opposite, in fact, Homan said.
“I don’t want to hear another damn word about President Trump being inhumane,” he said during his speech.
“He’s saving lives every day. There’s been studies done that 31 percent of women — and these studies are done by independent groups — up to 31 percent of women that make that journey coming to the United States get sexually assaulted,” he continued.
“Thirty-one percent admitted they got sexually assault in making that journey. If 31 admitted it, how many is that, how many is that number, really?” he asked.
“So when President Trump has illegal migration down 97 percent, how many women aren’t being raped? How many children aren’t dying making that journey? How many known suspected terrorists aren’t coming into the country? How many pounds of fentanyl isn’t coming across the border to kill Americans?” Homan went on.
“President Trump is saving thousands of lives every month, but no one wants to talk about it,” he said.

Earlier this year, Homan explained the reason he joined Trump to help control U.S. borders.

Homan spoke with Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow in February about what he thought were the human and social costs of policies that encourage mass immigration.
Homan began his career with the U.S. Border Patrol in 1984. He then worked his way up through the ranks of the Department of Homeland Security to become the first Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
He has been a strong supporter of stricter border enforcement and immigration control throughout his long career.
Homan worked for six presidents, starting with Ronald Reagan.
He was seen as a nonpartisan figure in both Democratic and Republican administrations for a long time.
When asked about the threats and attacks against him daily, Homan told Marlow, “I don’t care.”
“I mean, this is the second time I came out of retirement for the president. It’s hard to say no to the president of the United States and help him fix something where thousands of lives have been lost,” Homan said.
“So I knew the hate was coming. And, you know, unfortunately, my family pays the price,” Homan continued.
“I haven’t lived with my family in months because of the death threats against me. But my family understands the important mission,” he added.
