Border czar Tom homan has called out a federal judge who is blocking President Donald Trumpâs Immigration plans and said Temporary protected status is only supposed to be temporary, not permanent.
During an interview with âFox & Friendsâ host Lawrence Jones, Homan said the judge made a âstupidâ ruling and noted that he has worked in Immigration for decades and temporary status has never been treated as temporary.
âItâs another activist judge making a stupid ruling. It just doesnât make sense,â Homan said. âYou know, Iâve been around since 1984, Lawrence, and the TPS temporary protective status is never temporary, and President Trump is going to do his job by rule of law. The law says temporary status, once the conditions in that country theyâre from, once the conditions change, then people should be removed from the United States, itâs only a temporary status.â
Homan noted that Trump is following through on his campaign promises to the American people, and a big one was promising putting an end to unfettered illegal Immigration.
âFor instance, if thereâs a hurricane and it devastates a part of the country, weâll give them TPS until that country gets back on their feet,â Homan said. âBut TPS is not meant to be decades long. So, President Trump, whoâs promised the American people, weâre going to enforce the laws enacted by Congress and signed by President. Weâre going to use the laws of this country to secure the border and enforce our Immigration law. Thatâs exactly what weâre doing.â
Homan said the judge based his ruling on his own opinion and not on the rule of law which is what he is supposed to do but noted the Trump administration will be fighting the ruling, and they will win.
âTPS needs to be temporary in nature,â Homan said. âWe need to follow the rule of law, and not some advice from an activist judge who makes this makes a foolish ruling, not based on law, but based on opinion. If you look at that decision based on opinion, now the rule of law, and thatâs what we need to get back to. So, look, weâll litigate it, and weâll appeal, and weâll win.â
