Dr. Phil embarks on a critical journey to the Arizona-Mexico border, accompanied by newly appointed Border Czar Tom Homan. This visit comes as part of Dr. Phil's ongoing series exploring the realities and challenges of the southern border. Dr. Phil and Homan travel to the unfinished Arizona border wall where they meet up with the VP of the National Border Patrol Council, Art Del Cueto and discuss the crucial importance of collaboration between the federal government and state authorities. Homan also meets with key figures such as Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, and other members of the National Sheriffs' Association. The discussion centers around Homan's plans to address the border crisis, particularly in Arizona, where border crimes have significantly increased the workload for local law enforcement. Homan, with over 30 years of experience in immigration enforcement, including his tenure as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), shares insights into President-elect Donald Trump's agenda for illegal immigration and deportations. The episode sheds light on the staggering statistics of illegal crossings in Arizona, where local ranchers have reported hundreds of thousands of migrants trespassing on their properties. The visit underscores the urgency of the situation and why having a seasoned expert like Homan at the helm is seen as a positive step by local law enforcement. Through candid conversations and on-the-ground observations, Dr. Phil and Homan provide a comprehensive look at the challenges and potential solutions to the border crisis, setting the stage for a new era of cooperation and action in addressing one of America's most pressing issues.
