Morale appears to be surging among border authorities after the election of President-elect Donald Trump, who made border security one of the pillars of his campaign, after nearly four years of relaxed immigration policies that saw record numbers of migrants enter the United States.

In addition to strengthening the southern border, Trump has promised to order mass deportations of illegal immigrants. On Monday, he tapped Tom Homan, the former acting director of U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE), to serve as "border czar" in his second administration.

During an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Homan, who is widely respected within the Border Patrol and ICE, said he plans to fix the border crisis caused by the Biden administration's policies.

"I’ve been on this network for years complaining about what this administration did to this border," he said. "I’ve been yelling and screaming about it and what they need to do to fix it. So when the president asked me, ‘Would you come back and fix it?’ Of course, I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t."

Illegal border crossings surged under President Biden with nearly 3 million in fiscal 2024, according to the Department of Homeland Security’s website. There have been more than 10.8 million illegal encounters since fiscal 2021.

Homan said he supports Trump's mass deportation plan, saying he would be prioritizing "public safety threats and national security threats." When asked during a recent interview on CBS's "60 Minutes" if mass deportations would result in family separations, Homan responded, "Families can be deported together."

U.S. Border Patrol agents and ICE officials told Fox News the change is like night and day.

"It’s a total 180. Troops are finally feeling like the sun is coming out after a very long storm," one Massachusetts ICE officer said. "People are fired up to have support. It’s amazing because we all became so numb. I don’t think we realized how bad until we finally have hope again. Everyone is so happy about Homan's return."

Another ICE officer in New York said morale was "super high, especially with the Homan news, too."

"Ecstatic to go to work! Morale is even higher than the first time he won," an Arizona Border Patrol agent said.

"The morale is through the roof," National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez said in an interview. "We’ve received hundreds of calls, texts, emails just saying how happy the agents are.

"There are a lot of agents that had originally said that they would retire if President Trump did not win. And now those same agents are saying they're going to hold back on their retirement because they want to serve under this administration again, because they know exactly how it was during this first administration, and they know this one's going to be even better," he said.

"We've all been hopeful but the give-ups are still trickling in," a border agent in California said. "Nothing will change until Tom Homan takes the leash off us."

"A border agent in Texas told Fox News that "people who were going to retire are not and everyone is happy."

"I feel that people know now they will get to do the work they signed up to do and that they want to do," a senior ICE official said. "They know they can get the bad guys now. Public safety threats, national security threats, gang members, here we come."

Other officials contacted said they were looking forward to no longer having to use politically correct language, such as "non-citizen," to describe illegal immigrants.

Good to know but the truth is that America's economy is not shrinking because of immigrants, its is shrinking because of emerging world power economy. China for instance has taken from America ELECTRONICS and ITC market. Reminds me of how black South Africans are busy killing black Africans blaming them for job losses.
Americans will soon realize that all the story of immigrants stealing jobs is a fat lie.

America has never been into electronics. America is consumer economy. The money they generate and spend within the country is what makes them great, apart from many of their multinationals in different countries.

Did I here you well how old are you.

Kukutente23:
I don't know how people whose country is ravaged by bandits from neighbouring countries do be defending illegal immigrants

The same immigrants that built your America.

there has been a grand plan in America by Biden team but Trump shattered it.

They're now mounting pressure in Biden to resign and hans over to Harris to see if they can go a little way 😆

If it protects their country, then it’s fine.

In our own country, ISIS invades and gets swaths of lands. Boko haram maintains swaths of lands. Fulani herdsmen from Mali, Congo, and everywhere invade and remain, including inviting a new group of invaders called Lakurawa. If our leaders cannot protect our borders, should we expect Trump to do it for us?

Trump for the job

People would cry in 2025.

We would see gory pictures reminiscent of German concentration camps.

Nairaland Trumpies, get ready.

It's necessary

If you have a good leader things will progress

Trump is a good leader

😂

I am very surprised that people sincerely believe that Donald Trump is on "Righteous agenda"
How do you explain a man that has never read the bible, doesn't even prays to your "God",despises people who don't agree with him and lies with ease as a man to enforce God's agenda
Anyways,even the Devil joined to assemble with God's angels so this is not a first

You cannot campaigned and voted for Tpain and runaway.


You must comeback and enjoy the bolekaja policies.



And all African leaders looting, that crazy Trump is coming with a bill.


As for headsla.mers and Anti Israel....... RUN

You know the percentage of aliens in Oklahoma prisons?

0.02%

Illegal immigrants are taking experienced jobs for minimal pay, which drives legal citizens out of the workforce. This marks a turning point, and change is on the horizon. America will rise to greatness once more.

If you enter America legally, you have every reason to feel secure.

Wahala, he wants to deport people helping you

Gegen..

Watch as Abdul, the rabid dog, who was always protesting and boasting about taking over Christian America in 20 years, will now become a peace loving, humble and peace preaching squirrel.





Trump was truly chosen by God in this Era.
Now the Jews, who are being attacked in other parts of Europe, can find peace in America.

This is how I want us to test obi or Atiku in 2027 so we can know the difference. Obi fans are the same as Atiku's so any of them that wins serves the same purpose.

Work began even before assuming office.

You have nothing to fear if you enter legally.....

So literally to you dunderhead now, America is suddenly no more Nomerica again because Trump won election? 🤔🤔

I wonder who used to like your comments; perhaps they don’t realize that you only type based on your emotions rather than facts, and that you can be quite unstable

What did you guys expect before, Trump is active, vibrant, courageous and outspoken.

So, activities have to respond in the same manner.

gonna be a long ride

Legendhero.... YOUR DEPORTATION is sure

Mark this post .

We chose Donald Trump because he's for God hence hence no room for the satanists 🤒

Lots of people have issues with Trump's policy but i don't.

It's not about Reporting migrants, is about illegal immigrants . You don't go into a man's house unannounced and expect him to treat you like a guest.... I love the statement above really
