On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” incoming Border Czar Tom Homan predicted that there will be an increase in violence on the United States-Mexico border at the beginning of the Trump administration because cartels will react with violence to efforts to secure the border and harm their business and stated that the Trump administration expects such an uptick in violence to take place.

Homan said, “I’m not speaking for President Trump, but he’s going to take action against the criminal cartels in Mexico. The criminal cartels in Mexico kill more American people than every terrorist organization in the world.”
