Tom Homan is the incoming "border czar" of the new administration.

Homan served as the acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the first Trump administration.

He has suggested he's been waiting more than two years for this moment.

He's promised to execute "the biggest deportation operation this country has ever seen".

Homan has strongly disputed claims that he created the policy that separated thousands of children from their parents during the first Trump administration.

Homan said in the run-up to the election that child separation "needs to be considered, absolutely" A report from the Justice Department's inspector general concluded that Sessions "was a driving force in the DHS decision to begin referring family unit adults for prosecution".

Homan has long said that anyone with a legitimate claim of asylum shouldn't try to enter the country through a desert or across a river -- they should go to an official port of entry.

In a campaign video last year , Trump said he will end the court-backed tradition of birthright citizenship.

Both Homan and Homan have said ending "birth tourism" and "chain migration" will also put an end to 'birth tourism'.
