Border czar Tom Homan warned Monday that he’s “convinced” the US will suffer a major terrorist attack as a direct result of former President Joe Biden’s immigration and border policies.
“It’s coming,” Homan said of the possibility of a 9/11-style attack conducted by migrants who illegally snuck across the southern border under Biden.
The roughly 2 million so-called “gotaway” migrants that border patrol agents never apprehended during the previous administration concerns Homan more than the drug smuggling or sex trafficking that took place on the US-Mexico boundary during Biden’s only term in office, he told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“These 2 million known gotaways scares the hell out of me,” Homan said, adding that he fears some could be terrorists.
“I’m convinced something’s coming unless we can find them,” he warned.
Homan, who President Trump has tasked to oversee efforts to carry out his mass deportation plan, noted that it was alarming to him that millions of migrants went to great, and expensive, lengths to avoid detection when the Biden administration was quickly releasing illegal border-crossers into the US.
“Why did 2 million illegal aliens pay more to get away?” Homan told Hannity. “They could have paid half of what they paid to cross the border, turn themselves into border patrol agents, get released that same day, get a free airline ticket to the city of their choice, get a free hotel room, get three meals a day, plus free medical care and work authorization.”
“Two million people paid more to get away,” he argued. “They didn’t want to be vetted. They didn’t want to be fingerprinted. Why?”
“This scares the hell out of me and I’ve been doing this for 40 years. It should have scared the hell out of every American what the Biden administration did.”
Homan described the “gotaways” as “the biggest national security vulnerability this country’s ever seen” and predicted the US will be grappling with the effects of Biden’s border policies “for the next ten years.”
The border czar’s comments come one day after a madman who was in the country illegally torched and wounded 12 people with a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails in an antisemitic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado.
The suspected firebomber, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is a 45-year-old Egyptian national who entered the country on a tourist visa in 2022, sought asylum and later obtained a work permit from the Biden administration, according to the Trump administration.
Soliman’s work visa expired this past March, meaning he was no longer in the country legally.
Homan lamented that “even through the legal process, the Biden administration was bringing people unvetted” and “handing out work visas like they’re candy.”
