<p>Taking the idea of “if you see something, say something” to a new level, Donald Trump’s incoming “border Czar” has proposed creating a hotline that Americans can call in to report illegal immigrants in their neighborhoods.</p>



<p>Tom Homan, the President-elect’s pick to oversee “the largest deportation operation in American history,” has revealed that the new administration is considering setting up a hotline that would allow Americans to report migrants suspected of committing crimes. ;</p>



<p>&#8220;I want a place where American citizens can call and report,&#8221; the incoming border czar said of the &#8220;fresh idea&#8221; being evaluated by the Trump transition team during an interview with NBC News. ;</p>



<p>“We need to take care of the American people,” Homan added. “We need to make sure they have an outlet to help report child traffickers, forced labor traffickers.</p>



<p>“We want to give them an opportunity to be a part of the fix.” ;</p>



<p>Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, argued that the benefits of mass deporting migrants who have committed crimes while in the US illegally cannot be overstated.</p>



<p>“I think mass deportation and results of mass deportation are more important to this country than anything,” he said. “I don’t put a price on all these young women who’ve been raped and murdered. I don’t put a price on our national security.”</p>



<p>Homan, 63, also teased that the incoming administration would move to shut down the ;Darien Gap, a treacherous 70-mile stretch of jungle in Panama that serves as the only land bridge between South and Central America. ;</p>



<p>“It needs to happen,” he said. “Shutting down the Darien Gap is going to protect our national security. It’s going to save thousands of lives.”</p>



<p>The popular smuggling route was used by more than 530,000 migrants last year alone as part of caravan voyages destined for the US-Mexico border. ;</p>



<p>“We’re going to work with the foreign government,” Homan said of how the Trump administration would crack down on illegal crossings at the Darien Gap. ;</p>
