During an interview over the weekend, Tom Homan, a seasoned officer in the Department of Homeland Security who has been chosen “border czar” by President-elect Donald Trump, stated that he and the 47th commander-in-chief intend to go right to work on the challenges of increasing security and deporting individuals who are in the country illegally.

“Look, we’re not waiting. I’ve already been to the border several times, met with Gov. [Greg] Abbott; I met with the National Sheriffs’ Association, what they can do for us,” Homan began.

“I’ve talked to the foreign minister of Canada, and I’ve been out to Arizona talking to the of sheriffs out there. So we’re not waiting for January 20th. We’re going to try to secure the border as quick as we can, and we’ve already started working on those plans,” he continued.
