‘Define the Job’: CNN’s Tapper to Chad Wolf Saying Tom Homan Will ‘Get the Job Done’ as Border Czar

TAPPER What do you ░░░░░░░░ of Trump s decision ░░░░░░░░ name Tom Homan border ░░░░░░░░ WOLF Yeah I think ░░░░░░░░ s an excellent choice ░░░░░░░░ Tom as you indicated ░░░░░░░░ a serious person He ░░░░░░░░ got decades of government ░░░░░░░░ both at Customs and ░░░░░░░░ Protection but also at ░░░░░░░░ Immigration and Customs Enforcement ░░░░░░░░ knows the border he ░░░░░░░░ interior enforcement He knows ░░░░░░░░ to get the job ░░░░░░░░ And so what you ░░░░░░░░ with the president s ░░░░░░░░ is just a professional ░░░░░░░░ s ready to roll ░░░░░░░░ his sleeves and go ░░░░░░░░ work and solve a ░░░░░░░░ difficult issue that the ░░░░░░░░ obviously campaigned on and ░░░░░░░░ in And I think ░░░░░░░░ Tom there and with ░░░░░░░░ around him I think ░░░░░░░░ re going to get ░░░░░░░░ job done TAPPER Well ░░░░░░░░ the job Obviously I ░░░░░░░░ nobody in who s ░░░░░░░░ would disagree with the ░░░░░░░░ that violent gang members ░░░░░░░░ criminals who have you ░░░░░░░░ committed especially committed violent ░░░░░░░░ should you know get ░░░░░░░░ out of the country ░░░░░░░░ s fine I don ░░░░░░░░ think that s that ░░░░░░░░ a difficult political decision ░░░░░░░░ s the next rung ░░░░░░░░ And the rung after ░░░░░░░░ and the rung after ░░░░░░░░ Are we really talking ░░░░░░░░ about I don t ░░░░░░░░ know how many undocumented ░░░░░░░░ there are in this ░░░░░░░░ but let s say ░░░░░░░░ s 20 million Are ░░░░░░░░ really talking about all ░░░░░░░░ million being deported WOLF ░░░░░░░░ Jake it may not ░░░░░░░░ you know may be ░░░░░░░░ tough political position but ░░░░░░░░ you indicated there s ░░░░░░░░ here today that are ░░░░░░░░ being removed So I ░░░░░░░░ I ve heard Tom ░░░░░░░░ certainly the president talk ░░░░░░░░ removing these public safety ░░░░░░░░ national security threats from ░░░░░░░░ communities Look just under ░░░░░░░░ Biden Harris Administration convicted ░░░░░░░░ aliens 74 percent less ░░░░░░░░ than what we saw ░░░░░░░░ the first Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ think it s important ░░░░░░░░ to just gloss over ░░░░░░░░ fact that you want ░░░░░░░░ remove dangerous people from ░░░░░░░░ communities It s just ░░░░░░░░ happening now The Biden ░░░░░░░░ will say that that ░░░░░░░░ their priority but the ░░░░░░░░ don t lie They ░░░░░░░░ just not removing folks ░░░░░░░░ the manner in which ░░░░░░░░ should So I think ░░░░░░░░ they were to ask ░░░░░░░░ should definitely continue to ░░░░░░░░ the priority But this ░░░░░░░░ that you re going ░░░░░░░░ exempt whole classes of ░░░░░░░░ from the law I ░░░░░░░░ t think that should ░░░░░░░░ the case either And ░░░░░░░░ course we ve seen ░░░░░░░░ as well TAPPER Yeah ░░░░░░░░ m not trying to ░░░░░░░░ over it I m ░░░░░░░░ saying it s I ░░░░░░░░ I think probably get ░░░░░░░░ 99 percent polling on ░░░░░░░░ violent criminals who aren ░░░░░░░░ citizens be deported But ░░░░░░░░ happens after that What ░░░░░░░░ the idea that a ░░░░░░░░ percentage I ve seen ░░░░░░░░ many as 5 percent ░░░░░░░░ the workforce at least ░░░░░░░░ to Pew is undocumented ░░░░░░░░ saying I m advocating ░░░░░░░░ them to be exempt ░░░░░░░░ happens to the economy ░░░░░░░░ 5 percent of the ░░░░░░░░ is deported WOLF Again ░░░░░░░░ got to prioritize the ░░░░░░░░ and I know Tom ░░░░░░░░ again the president has ░░░░░░░░ doing that making sure ░░░░░░░░ you re removing the ░░░░░░░░ of the worst But ░░░░░░░░ idea that you ve ░░░░░░░░ to turn your head ░░░░░░░░ just exempt people from ░░░░░░░░ law or from consequences ░░░░░░░░ the law deportation and ░░░░░░░░ like because they have ░░░░░░░░ job here in the ░░░░░░░░ States we certainly need ░░░░░░░░ take a look at ░░░░░░░░ But there are other ░░░░░░░░ and other mechanisms and ░░░░░░░░ other visas that allow ░░░░░░░░ to come in and ░░░░░░░░ contribute to the U ░░░░░░░░ economy And if the ░░░░░░░░ wants to do more ░░░░░░░░ to allow more of ░░░░░░░░ visas that s certainly ░░░░░░░░ debate that they should ░░░░░░░░ But to simply say ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ our head and just ░░░░░░░░ the fact that the ░░░░░░░░ is being broken I ░░░░░░░░ t think that that ░░░░░░░░ the right approach.”
