Surprising no one: top Kobach priority for DHS is record number of deportations in first year.
Also: pretty careless document handling...

Potential Trump Cabinet pick reveals DHS plans in photo

Potential Trump Cabinet pick reveals DHS plans in photo

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, one of Donald Trump's potential picks for Department of Homeland Security secretary, might have revealed his plans for the department to the public while meeting with the president-elect.
A photo taken by an Associated Press photographer shows Kobach shaking Trump's hand while holding a binder and papers. The papers face the camera and, according to a report from The Topeka Capital-Journal, reveal plans to question "high-risk" immigrants over support for Sharia law and the U.S. Constitution. A bullet point says "Bar the Entry of Potential Terrorists."
The Topeka-Journal also noted that the document calls for an update and reintroduction of the National Security Entry-Exit Registration system, originally implemented after 9/11. It mentioned "extreme vetting questions" for "high-risk aliens" as well.
Kobach's papers also suggest eliminating Syrian refugee intake.
.............................
Reports on Sunday said Kobach and Trump met for just under an hour at Trump's private golf club in Bedminster, N.J. Kobach advised Trump on immigration throughout his campaign ............................

The fact that Kobach views voting rights as a homeland security threat tells you how dangerous he is

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach -- a far-right Republican known for championing anti-immigration measures and voting restrictions -- was photographed with President-elect Donald Trump Sunday holding Kobach's "strategic plan" for the Department of Homeland Security, the Topeka-Capital Journal reported. The plan appears from the photograph to include some of Kobach's most extreme anti-immigration proposals and even alludes to election law, another area where the secretary of state is known for taking hard right positions.
The plan is titled "KOBACH STRATEGIC PLAN FOR FIRST 365 DAYS." The first page of the plan is visible in the photograph, which was taken by an AP photographer, though much of it is obscured by Kobach's arm. Some of it is still readable, however, including proposals to "Update and reintroduce" a George W. Bush era program to register immigrants from certain, usually Muslim countries; an "extreme vetting" process for "high-risk aliens" in which immigrants are interviewed about "jihad," "Sharia law," gender equality and the U.S. Constitution; and the reduction of Syrian refugees settled in the United States "to zero."
Additionally, the plan appears to outline new guidelines for the deportation of undocumented immigrants.
At the bottom of the page is also the suggestion to "Draft Amendments to National Voter...", perhaps a reference to the National Voter Registration Act. Kobach's attempts to require Kansans to show documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in the state have been blocked by courts multiple times for violating the National Voter Registration Act.............................

Muslim registry, religious test, refugee ban, wall, mass deportation and voting restrictions all hinted at, and that's just what we can see
