Earlier this week, President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar
Tom Homan was in Chicago. Monday evening, he said if elected
officials don’t get out of the way, they could be prosecuted.
Wednesday, Pritzker downplayed those comments.
“I’m open to a dialogue with him,” Pritzker said of Homan. “I
will say that he does not have the authority to do the things
that he has talked about. Being a border czar is not an official
position.”
Pritzker said violent criminal non-citizens should be deported
and never allowed, but he will stand up for asylum seekers and
other undocumented residents of the state.
“Let me be clear up front, violent criminals who are
undocumented and convicted of violent crime should be deported,”
Pritzker said. “I do not want them in my state and I do not
think they should be in the United States.”
