Tom Homan says illegal immigrants will be given the choice of whether to leave with their American-born children.

Parents will be separated from their children and deported if they are in the United States illegally, according to Donald Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan.

Homan said the new administration won't hesitate to kick out parents even if they have children born in the United States.

The only concession, he told the Washington Post, was that the families would be left to decide whether to leave the country together - or be split up.

"Here's the issue, you knew you were in the country illegally and chose to have a child. So you put your family in that position," said Homan, who oversaw the border policy during Trump's first term that resulted in more than 4,000 children being separated from their parents.
