The acting Director of ICE unloaded on Californiaâs liberal politicians Thursday morning, saying state officials are openly encouraging illegal immigrants to enter the United States and warning that âmore people are going to dieâ due to reckless âSanctuary Cityâ statutes.
Tom Homan was speaking with Fox News when he slammed California Democrats for âdangling that carrotâ to undocumented workers; adding the stateâs âSanctuary Cityâ policies embolden illegal immigrants to try and cross the border into the United States.
âWhen you call yourself a âSanctuary Cityâ youâre dangling that carrot which is going to cause more illegal immigration. Youâre going to see more illegal immigration in the state of California,â said Homan.
âItâs more than just an enforcement issue. More people are going to die trying to come into this country because they think they can get into a state or a city where they think theyâre going to be shielded from immigration authorities. Itâs wrong on so many levels,â he added.
