Tom Homan, President Trump's “border czar” shot down the idea of putting children in the illegal immigrants in rural areas as part of the upcoming deportation plan.
“As for the US children – the children, it's going to be a difficult situation, because we're not going to arrest your US citizen children, which means, you know, they're going to be placed in a halfway house,” Homan. told NewsNation on Thursday, The Hill reported

He added: “They can – or they can stay at home and wait for officials to get travel arrangements and come back to pick up the family.
As part of his plan to solve the border problem, Trump has said he plans to deport more illegal immigrants.
One of the administration's top priorities will be finding the hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants in the United States.
“We're going to ask the American people to pay attention: see something, say something and join us,” Holman told Kellyanne Conway on “Hannity.” “If one phone call out of a thousand saves a child from sex trafficking or hard labor, then that's one life saved.”
Homan acknowledged that it will be “hard work,” but “we're going to give it everything we've got.”
In his interview with NewsNation, Homan said that giving birth to children born in the US will not save illegal immigrants from deportation.
“Having a child of an American citizen does not exempt you from the protection of our laws, and that is not the message we want to send to the rest of the world, that you can have a child, and you don't have the laws of this country,” Homan said. .
