Tom Homan sat down with Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle and did what too few in Washington have the courage to do: name the wreckage. Homan bluntly called out what he described as the economic carnage unleashed by the Biden administration’s open-border agenda, warning that taxpayers and communities are paying a price for political softness on immigration.
He walked viewers through the obvious consequences conservatives have been shouting about for years — overloaded hospitals, strained school systems, crowded shelters, and local budgets pushed to the breaking point by federal inaction. Homan made clear this is not just a border problem for border towns; it is an assault on municipal finances and the standard of living of working Americans who are left to pick up the tab.
When sanctuary city politicians promise to block federal enforcement, Homan did not mince words: the administration will respond by flooding those cities with more agents and more enforcement activity. That posture is exactly the right medicine — sanctuary posturing must not be a shield for lawlessness, and Homan warned that officials who think they can hide behind virtue-signaling will find federal sticks where they expected handshakes.
And to the career leftist governors and mayors who smugly tell the federal government to stay out, Homan had a message: good luck. He has publicly taunted politicians from New York to Illinois who vow to stand in the way of enforcement, daring them to test federal authority while the rest of the country pays for their theatrics. Those who patronize law-abiding citizens with sanctimonious defenses of chaos should be prepared to answer for the costs and the consequences.
This is no abstract debate — honest enforcement matters to public safety and to the budget lines that keep Main Street afloat. Homan reminded viewers that sanctuary policies simply relocate the problem into the neighborhoods of hardworking families, forcing taxpayers to shoulder rising costs and emboldening criminal networks that exploit porous borders. Conservatives have called for common-sense enforcement and accountability for years; seeing a border czar willing to follow through is a welcome change.
Patriotic Americans should applaud officials who put the rule of law and the interests of citizens first, and they should vote out the politicians who chose ideology over security. Homan’s blunt assessment ought to be a wake-up call: the era of pretending open borders are cost-free is over, and those who wreck our communities must be held accountable at the ballot box.
