Tom Homan predicts vetting failures will trigger mass deportations of third-world migrants

WASHINGTON, DC: Border chief Tom Homan said the Trump administration will likely deport most migrants from third-world countries because it will be difficult to properly verify them. Homan said many of these countries lack reliable identity documents such as passports, travel papers or verifiable records, noting that most of these migrants would face deportation because “we’re not going to be able to properly vet them.”

In an interview with Fox News, Homan emphasized that many third-world countries do not have functioning systems for tracking citizens. He explained that no database can clearly distinguish between “the bad guys” and “the good guys.” He also added that a significant number of ill-intentioned individuals remain unaccounted for because they simply do not exist in any official records.

Tom Homan warns of vetting challenges for migrants from third-world countries

Homan, speaking on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, discussed the challenges of relying on third-world countries to provide accurate information for vetting migrants. “These Third World nations, they don’t have systems like we do. So a lot of these Afghanistans, when they did get here and get vetted, they had no identification at all,” he said.

“Not a single travel document, not one piece of identification. And we’re going to count on the people that run Afghanistan, the Taliban, to provide us any information on who the bad guys were or who the good guys are? Certainly not.” He added, “And many people need to understand that most terrorists in this world aren’t in any database.”

Homan further raised concerns about migrants crossing the US southern border, saying, “And the same thing with illegal aliens, the over 10 million that came across the border under Joe Biden. There’s no way to vet these people. You think El Salvador or Turkey or Sudan or any of these countries have the databases or system checks that we have?”

“Do you think the governments of China, Russia, Turkey, do you think they’re going to share that data with us even if they did have it? There’s no way to clearly vet these people 100% that they’re safe to come to this country from these Third World nations,” he concluded.

Donald Trump orders crackdown on Afghan and other third-world migrants

Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, “terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions,” and vowed to deport anyone who does not bring value to the country. Tom Homan backed the president, saying Trump was right to review all migrants who entered under President Joe Biden.

Trump issued the directive after a shooting near the White House, where two National Guard members were injured. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is believed to be an Afghan immigrant.
