President Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan believes that the billions of dollars spent on illegal immigrants could be better used to help Americans in need, such as homeless veterans. He argues that previous presidents, including Democrats like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, have spoken about curbing illegal immigration but have not taken concrete action.
Homan claims that illegal immigrants are incentivized to come to the United States because they receive more in benefits than most Americans earn in their salaries. He suggests that the money saved by not providing these benefits to illegal immigrants could be used to help American citizens in need, including homeless veterans and victims of natural disasters.
Homan also vows that there will be "lots of investigations" on the funding of NGOs and other groups that support illegal immigration. He believes that there is a lot to uncover and is thankful that President Trump is on top of it.

“Using the plight of veterans as a wedge to demonize immigrants isn’t only oversimplified, it’s dangerous and unhelpful.”

“I support a thorough review of how NGOs use taxpayer money, especially if it means more funds for American veterans and disaster victims.”
