Tom Homan, who President-elect Donald Trump has tapped to be the border czar come January, said on Tuesday night that no illegal alien in the U.S. is safe from deportation under the new administration.

Homan made the remark during a Fox News interview when asked about Democrat politicians who are vowing to obstruct federal immigration officers from deporting dangerous criminal illegal aliens during the second Trump term.

“Out of the gate, we’re concentrating on public safety threats and national security threats,” Homan said. “What politician, whether you’re a mayor or governor, is saying, ‘No, I want public safety threats to remain in my community’? I mean, give me a break.”

He said that Democrats who create sanctuaries for illegal aliens by not cooperating with federal officials end up harming immigrant communities by releasing criminals back into the communities, which creates dangerous situations.

When ICE shows up to deport the criminals out of the communities, they often end up encountering other illegal aliens who were not on their radar and also end up getting deported.

Homan warned against rewarding illegal immigration by offering mass amnesty, saying that the border crisis will never get fixed.

“This country is showing over and over again that if you don’t have consequences, they’re going to keep coming,” he said. “Amnesty means millions of them are going to come saying, ‘look, I can cross the border illegally, I can lose my case in front of an immigration judge, and I still get to stay.'”

He said that all of the millions of illegal aliens who unlawfully crossed the border committed a crime and needed to be removed.

“The law is clear. We’ll give you a due process,” he said. “You can have your day in court, but when you’re ordered removed, you’re going to leave and we’re going to make you leave.”

“It’s not okay to cross this border. It’s a crime,” Homan later added. “Every illegal alien that crossed that border committed a crime, and it’s not okay for you to be in this country illegally. I don’t go 200 miles an hour to come to this interview tonight because I don’t get a ticket. I don’t lie on my taxes because I don’t want to get tax evasion. Well, it’s not okay to be in this country illegally. So if you’re in the country illegally, you got a problem.”
