Tom Homan, the border czar for President Donald Trump, gave an ominous warning to drug cartels in America and other nations Sunday, saying the U.S. would "wipe them off the a face of the Earth."

"We'll bring the weight of the world on them," Homan said on "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo" on the Fox News Channel.

"President Trump will wipe them off the face of the Earth by the time he's done."

"Look, the drug cartels are like a a Fortune 500 company. Some of these drug cartels, they're operating in 43 nations, 43 different countries around the globe.

"They used to be back in my day when I was an agent, they were responsible for smuggling drugs into the United States, into our major cities and just distributed by local gangs. Now they have the footprint in every major city in this nation. They have taken over the distribution channels within the United States.

"They have a strong foothold here, and that's why we're concentrating on drug cartels, we're concentrating on TDA, Tren de Aragua. I'm not going to be happy until every single one of Tren de Aragua is out of this country. They need to be eradicated along with MS-13.

"This is why President Trump, again, he proves every day why he's the greatest president in my lifetime. He designated them terrorist organizations. Why did he do that? Because they've killed more American than every terrorist organization in the world combined. They're killed thousands of journalists and law enforcement in Mexico, they're killed thousands of citizens.

"They're acting like a terrorist organization. They've killed more Americans than any terrorist organization, so President Trump did the right thing. Designate them terrorists organizations. We'll bring the weight of the world on them. President Trump will wipe them off the face of the Earth by the time he's done.

Bartiromo asked if that designation of "terrorist organizations" is a key factor in getting tougher on the cartels. Homan replied: "Absolutely."

"Look what the president's done in just the first month of him being in office. Illegal crossings on the border are down 90%. 90% in just a matter of a couple weeks. And what does that that mean?"

"It means … less people are dying crossing the border. Less Americans are dying from fentanyl overdoses. Less women and children are being sex-trafficked across that border, less terrorists are getting in.

"President Trump has taken incredible action on the border. We're already at a high state of security at the southern border. We're arresting twice as many illegal alien criminals that Biden did.

"We're on lightning speed to doing what the president promised the American people he would do."

Bartiromo asked Homan about U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., conducting webinars to explain to illegal immigrants how to evade arrests by federal officials.

AOC had said of Homan: "Maybe he can learn to to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start."

Homan responded: "I had to educate her during congressional testimony that entering the country illegally is a crime. So, whatever. What she needs to do is read the statutes enacted by Congress. Title VIII United States code 1324, United States — title VIII United States code 1324 and 25, that's what she needs to read. Because it's illegal to enter this country. It's a crime to enter this country illegally. Not only that, when you harbor and conceal and impede law enforcement, that's a felony. So what she's doing, she says she's educating people of their constitutional rights. …

"What she's really doing, you and I and the rest of the country know, she's trying to teach them how to evade law enforcement. Now I just said right out of the gate we're concentrating on public safety threats, national security threats. So she's educating those in the country illegally with a significant criminal conviction, public safety threat, don't open your door, don't talk to ICE, here's how you evade law enforcement.

"Let's hope she's not educating the next person who gets out and murders a young college student in Georgia. I mean these are bad people we're looking for. So she can call it education all she wants, but we all know it's about evading law enforcement.

"These people have been ordered removed, the people we're looking for now have final orders. They're criminals. They're in the country illegally. A judge has ordered them removed. They've become a fugitive and these are the folks she's helping? So I've asked the Department of Justice to look at this. "
