He also implicitly recognized, in an ABC channel interview, that the expulsion statistics of this first week of the Trump administration – around 500 per day – had not yet reached the level referred to on the need for additional means.
“The congress must meet quickly to give us the money we need to secure this border,” he said.

Tom Homan is responsible for the American massive expulsion policy of immigrants in an irregular situation.
The officials of the Federal Immigration Control Agency (ICE) received on Saturday investigation to achieve a daily quota of 1,200 to 1,500 arrests, the American president being disappointed by the results obtained so far, reports the Washington Postciting sources close to the file.
The ICE also announced on Sunday that it has launched with the help of other federal agencies “reinforced targeted operations” in Chicago aimed at “potentially dangerous immigrant criminals”, without further details.
-The Homeland Security Secretary has canceled this week a directive of the previous Democratic administration this week which supervised the action of ICE and border police officers around so -called “sensitive” areas, including schools and places of worship .
Several managers of Catholic institutions have been alarmed in a statement on Thursday intentions displayed by the Trump administration.
“ICE agents must have the power to decide that, if a threat to national security or public security exists in one of these places, they have the possibility of making an arrest,” pleaded on ABC Tom Homan , notably stressing that “many” members of the Salvadoran MS-13 criminal gang, which is raging in particular in the United States, were old enough to go to school.
He invoked the need for the dissuasive character of the repression of illegal immigration. “If we do not show that there are consequences at the illegal entrance to the territory, we will never solve the border problem,” he said.
Several managers of Catholic institutions have been alarmed in a statement on Thursday intentions displayed by the Trump administration.
“Transforming places of care, healing and comfort into places of fear and uncertainty for those who are in need, by undergoing confidence between pastors, caregivers, educators and those to whom they lend assistance will not make Our safer neighborhoods, ”they write.
Vice-president JD Vance criticized in an interview on Sunday in CBS the Conference of Catholic bishops, accusing him of “not having been a good partner in the immigration policy of common sense for which the Americans voted”.
