Acting ICE Director: We Keep ‘Enticing’ Illegals by ‘Ignoring the Rule of Law’

‘We have to stop sending message to the rest of the world it is okay to violate laws and hide out successfully and you’re fine’

EXCERPT:

HOMAN: "The underlying problem here that we’re trying to address, let’s be clear to American people what is happening. Until this zero tolerance policy we got families coming up, claiming fear and persecution. They are coached what to say, very low bar then they get released. Many of them don’t show up in court. And when they do show up in court they fail to leave; 80 percent of them are losing their cases. They fail to leave. Now they’re in this society. And 10 years from now, we’ll find them. They will have a U.S. citizen child. And everybody is going to be outraged, why do you arrest somebody who's been here 10 years have U.S. citizen child? We have to stop sending message to the rest of the world it is OK to violate laws in this country and hide out successfully and you’re fine. That's not the message we want to send. People are dying come into this country and we keep enticing them ignoring the rule of law."
