Incoming Border Czar Thomas Homan argues that securing the US-Mexico border will boost the American economy by increasing wages and protecting jobs from illegal alien competition.
Securing the United States-Mexico border will protect the nation’s labor market and increase wages for Americans, incoming Border Czar Thomas Homan says. During an interview with the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), Homan said President-elect Donald Trump’s vision to secure the southern border while deporting hundreds of thousands, potentially millions, of illegal aliens will boost Americans’ economic situation.
Homan said, ‘You’re going to see wages increase because right now, illegal alien employment pushes wages down for American workers … it’s going to help protect the American worker and it’s going to increase wages.’ Homan detailed a story of a son and father repair crew that once employed 20 Americans to do home improvements. The father, Homan said, had to lay off those Americans because he could not compete with rival home improvement companies that employed low-wage illegal aliens. In addition to driving up wages, Homan said securing the border will decrease overdose deaths among Americans, save countless girls and women from sex trafficking, and ensure that America’s public resources are not overburdened. ‘This is going to be a well-planned, targeted enforcement operation,’ Homan said of carrying out the largest deportation program in the nation’s history, as Trump has promised. Though much attention has been placed on deporting convicted criminal illegal aliens, Homan said the deportation program will treat illegality equally. ‘I don’t want to be misunderstood. Just because we prioritize the worst doesn’t mean anybody is off the table,’ Homan said: ‘If you’re in the country illegally, you’ve got a problem. It’s not okay to enter this country illegally. It’s not okay to be in this country illegally. It’s not okay to hire an illegal alien.’ Homan is urging illegal aliens to self-deport to avoid years-long bans from returning to the U.S., which is required by federal law. ‘Here’s what I would say: Leave on your own,’ Homan said
