President Donald Trump�s pick for his �border czar� says he�s not accepting the job � at least �as of right now.�

The former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director, Tom Homan, tells Fox News that Trump�s announcement that he would rejoin the administration to coordinate its response to a surge in illegal border crossings was �premature.�

Homan says he�s still in discussions with the White House about the position but has reservations about the way the position would be set up.

He says, �I think any sort of border czar needs to be a person who coordinates an all-government response to the border,� adding, �that wasn�t the way it was set up.�

Trump had made the announcement Friday in an interview with the program �Fox & Friends.�
