READ THE BEE

By Dennis Brent Melby

They were all dead. Left locked in the back of a semi trailer in the hot southern California desert. The cartel smugglers had fled days before, they'd already gotten their money and decided it wasn't worth getting caught by the border patrol because of a broken down truck. The ICE agents unlocked the truck to see the carnage, the misery and the death from the 120 degree heat, folks had clawed each other trying to get just one more breath of air. The agents started to remove the corpses, most agents were Hispanic, and the folks looked a lot like them, good guys and bad guys come in all colors.

Homan spied a 6 year old boy in the back. He froze "take everyone out - leave the boy" he said. When the men were out he went in and gingerly picked up the little boy. "He reminds me of my son" he said, gently carried him out and sat with him a while. Tom Homan is a crusty guy. Doesn’t smile a lot and is serious most of the time.

When he was with me in Gaithersburg the end of last year he teared up when talking about this particular rescue. He made us all cry, no one deserves to be treated in such a horrible fashion, and he vowed to protect the victims of the cartels. He also vowed to protect the American victims facing the onslaught of gang members, released prisoners, mental inmates, traffickers and violent criminals being sent to America because of our open borders. 

President Trump named him “Border Czar”, Kamala Harris' old position. Alejandro Mayorkis said the border is secure...it was not. It is now. NOT ONE person comes into the US illegally now. Kids, women and most immigrants will be safer because of it.
