Tom Homan, known as the border czar during the Trump presidency, recently shared some astonishing news on Fox News that would make any red-blooded American puff out their chest with pride—border crossings have plummeted by a staggering 93%. Homan’s insights showcase just how effective Trump’s border policies were and how even greater results are being seen now. It’s a stark reminder that when a leader truly prioritizes national security, the results speak for themselves.
According to Homan, the impressive decline in crossings is unmatched compared to the metrics from the previous Trump administration. That’s right—President Trump, the ultimate “game changer” in the political realm, seems to have left an impact not just on policies but also on the numbers. Homan asserted that securing the border is a crucial component of national security, a fact many in Washington seem to forget while chasing progressive fantasies.
Border Czar Tom Homan says border crossings are down 93%:
"The crossings on the border are down 93% … that's a bigger decrease than under the first Trump administration. We’ve got more work to do.”

Homan didn’t stop at just citing success; he offered a glimpse into the ongoing efforts under Trump’s leadership, praising the achievements made so far—though he emphasized that there’s still plenty of work left on securing the border. One cannot help but wonder how many miles of wall could have been built with the time and resources squandered on impeachment inquiries rather than on real issues affecting everyday Americans.
In a move reminiscent of a strong and decisive administration, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem chirped in on social media, reaffirming that daily border crossings have taken a nosedive since Trump’s tenure began. Imagine that: adults in positions of power actually keeping their promises rather than engaging in empty rhetoric. The crisis at the border wasn’t just a figment of conservative imaginations, but a reality compounded by ineffective policies from the left.
Adding to the narrative, Homan laid out the impact of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has made over 5,000 arrests in just the first week of Trump’s presidency. A good chunk of these individuals had criminal records that, under previous administrations, would likely have gone unaddressed. The reality that most non-criminals are caught during the hunt for those with records shows that effective law enforcement is operating under the premise of safety for all.
Homan also addressed the sanctuaries offering refuge to lawbreakers, asserting that if cities want to give criminals a free pass, they can expect the opposite of their intentions: a strong ICE presence. It’s a classic case of wanting to have their cake and eat it too—they want to shelter criminal behavior while pushing away law enforcement. Homan’s words laid bare the irony of sanctuary cities: the more they resist cooperation, the more they invite ICE into their communities. If they think they can push back against enforcement without consequence, they might want to brace themselves for a rude awakening.
