Former Trump border czar Tom Homan has warned that open borders represent the most critical national security challenge facing the United States. During an appearance on the conservative talk show Hannity, Homan emphasized the potential for Iranian-backed terrorists to infiltrate the country through the nation’s porous border regions.
Homan, who served under former President Donald Trump, argued that current border policies fail to adequately address the risks posed by individuals with ties to extremist groups. He expressed concerns about the ease with which foreign operatives could enter the U.S. and establish themselves within the country, potentially threatening national security.
The discussion took place amid ongoing debates about immigration reform and border control. Homan’s comments align with the administration’s focus on strengthening border security measures, though they have also sparked controversy over the balance between security and immigration policy.
