Homan is definitely an immigration hardliner. Without a doubt, he's going to try to bring the hammer down as hard as he can on immigrants. The difference between him and the Noem/Miller approach is that he appears to recognize that you can accomplish more hardline goals by not jackbooting so much, and paying more attention to who you're bringing in and what you're going to do with them after you detain them in advance.
Do you think that the reason they aren't going after employers is simply influence in Congress? If employers pay too high a price to hire undocumented migrants, they won't do it. No jobs for them, and they won't come here (or stay here). Seems really simple, but no one in Congress is even suggesting such actions (that I'm aware of). Why?
Playing whack-a-mole with laborers is a losing game...employers can lose one batch of employees, and just replace with another batch, as long as they aren't suffering withering fines. The migrant workers are expendable.
