2017: “When you enter this country illegally, you have committed a crime, and you can’t want to be a part of this country and not respect his laws... those who enter the country illegally, you may get past the Border Patrol, and in the past, you had this feeling that, okay, I’m home free... Well, those days are over.” – @RealTomHoman
2018: “In my 34 years, I never watched a group of people who are supposedly escaping fear and persecution from their home governments carrying the flag of their oppressors.” – @RealTomHoman
2019: “I’m not a politician, and I’m not running for office. I’m a career cop for 34 years, I just can state facts… Democrats, they know the borders out of control… but their hatred for Trump is more important than their responsibility to protect our nation, protect our borders.” – @RealTomHoman
2020: “Abolishing ICE is a ridiculous concept. It’s never going to happen, because once you get by the Border Patrol, you’re home free... Let’s not forget the hundreds of women they rescued from sex traffickers last year, the thousands of children that were saved from child predators.” – @RealTomHoman
2021: “Bring me back. I’ll secure the border in three days… I’ll reinstitute the Trump policies, and I’ll tell the progressive left to shut up. If they don’t like what’s being done on the border, then legislate like you’re supposed to legislate and fix the laws.” – @RealTomHoman
2022: “This is a national security crisis of immense proportions that no one’s talking about now. How many known suspected terrorists entered the country illegally last year? I don’t know. But if anybody thinks that 0% of 67,000 people didn’t come from a country that hosts terrorist activities or sponsors terrorism, then they’re ignorant.” – @RealTomHoman
2023: “I wake up every day pissed off because this administration destroyed the most secure border in our lifetime, and I’m sick and tired of hearing about the family separation, and I’m still being sued over that, so come get me. I don’t give a sh*t…” – @RealTomHoman
