    Trump Transition Team Filled with Hardline Anti-Immigration Advocates

    NOV 11 2016, 12:49 PM ET
    by LEIGH ANN CALDWELL

    President-elect Donald Trump is assembling some of the most conservative opponents to illegal immigration for his transition into the White House.

    Kris Kobach, Kansas' Secretary of State, who is a champion of tough anti-illegal immigration laws and ideas, has been hired for Trump's transition team.

    "There's going to be a lot to do there in part because Mr. Trump and Mr. Obama are diametric opposites when it comes to immigration policy," Kobach told Kansas' KWCH. "So there will be a lot of changes."

    President Obama was unable to get passed comprehensive immigration reform during his term, but he passed two executive actions that exempt DREAMers and their families from deportation.

    In Trump's 10-point immigration plan, he says he will "cancel" the executive orders.

    Kobach was the architect of Arizona's SB 1070 law which allows law enforcement to ask people for to prove their immigration status when there is "reasonable suspicion" that they might not be in the country legally. He also coined the idea of "self-deportation," which would make immigration laws so stringent that it would encourage people to leave the country.

    As for the wall along the southern border, Kobach said it will get built, "no question."

    "The only question is how quickly will it get done and who helps pay for it," he said. Trump has vowed that Mexico will pay for it.

    According to a document obtained by the New York Times, leading Trump's "Immigration Reform & Building the Wall" component of his transition is Danielle Cutrona.

    She is Sen. Jeff Sessions' counsel on the Judiciary Committee. Sessions has long opposed illegal — and many forms of legal — immigration. During the campaign, Trump adopted many of Sessions' policy positions, including ending federal funding for sanctuary cities and ending "catch-and-release."

    Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, said that "personnel is policy" at this point in the administration.

    "Who is in the room and who is appointed to these positiosn has massive implications for the American economy, particularly when it comes to immigration," Noorani said.

    Trump made immigration central to his candidacy, and after a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan on Capitol Hill Thursday, he said immigration was his top priority.

    As for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the country, Rep. Chris Collins of New York, one of Trump's earliest backers, said deporting them is not part of the plan and that after the border is secure and the "criminal element" is removed, Collins predicts some sort of legalization for the undocumented.

    "I think we can do fundamental immigration reform," he said.

    Put up some mobile observation posts. They know where the bulk of crossings occur. Probably just the hoofbeats of Trumps approaching administration will deter a lot of them.

    Meanwhile the Mex. Peso is now 21 on the US dollar. So while they are still able to send remittances they are worth a LOT more than two years ago.

    Well they better send that money quick as they will be getting cut off from all freebies very soon. And they are going to need it when they get back home. We have been supporting whole families of illegals here in the US and other countries where the rest of their families live. Guess that all is going to stop. We have propped up economies in other countries by giving all those freebies to illegal aliens.
    Freedom isn't free... Don't forget the men who died and gave that right to all of us....

    Chris, you've been a great Trump Supporter, but these types of wishful thinking for your dairy farmers up there is not helpful. They're all going, all of them. It's not fair to legalize any illegal alien when we have millions of people waiting in lines to come to the United States legally. Trump will never want to do that, and as satisfaction grows with the deportations, Americans will be addicted to the law and deportations. These are good laws, they protect our jobs, our schools, our coffers, our wages, our population, our culture. When Americans see the benefits, they'll only want more of it until they're all removed and our nation is lawful as it should be.
