adminTom Homan laid it out plainly on The Ingraham Angle this week, insisting that the economic carnage Americans are feeling can be traced back to former President Joe Biden’s open-border policies and the chaos they unleashed at our ports, streets, and social-services systems. Homan, whose title as the White House “border czar” has put him squarely in the center of the fight, used the national platform to accuse sanctuary politicians of ignoring the bill for their political choices.
Homan didn’t stop at rhetoric — he dared Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with ICE and Border Patrol for a single shift so they might see the danger and strain on public resources for themselves. The challenge was no accident: it’s a pointed rebuke to elected officials who posture about compassion while leaving taxpayers to shoulder skyrocketing costs and dangerous consequences.
Let’s be blunt: when you invite millions across an uncontrolled border, you drive up demand for emergency rooms, schools, housing, and policing while depressing wages and squeezing the working class who do the heavy lifting of this country. Homan framed the crisis as an economic as well as a security emergency — a message that resonates with everyday Americans whose paychecks don’t stretch as far as they used to.
Conservative patriots have long warned that open-border fantasies carry hidden taxes and social costs; Homan’s appearance pulled back the curtain on what that looks like in practice, from overwhelmed city budgets to strained law enforcement. He also highlighted the federal response now ramping up under enforcement-minded leadership, noting historic deportation figures and a sharp increase in ICE activity to reclaim the rule of law.
Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker can posture all they want about sanctuary virtue, but Homan made clear that words mean nothing on the ground when violent criminals slip through and hospitals and schools pay the price. The administration’s strategy of flooding sanctuary cities with agents is the predictable reaction to years of willful negligence, and it’s no surprise that federal and local tensions have boiled over into public confrontations.
If you’re a hardworking American tired of paying the hidden tariff of open borders, then listen to what Homan and other enforcement officials are saying: secure the border, enforce the law, and stop rewarding lawlessness with sanctuary status and open arms. This isn’t about cruelty; it’s about defending communities, protecting taxpayers, and restoring common-sense sovereignty to a country that deserves leaders who put citizens first.
