Thread: Exclusive–Kris Kobach to Trump: You Do Not Need Congress to Immediately Solve Immigra

The second [step] is because of the lack of traditional detention space, the Border Patrol is saying ‘Well we have to let these people go.’ Now I have some … disagreements with the terms on which they’re letting them go. Let’s back up, we can create detention space. The federal government right now owns thousands, multiple thousands, of trailers and mobile homes that we use for hurricane disasters and they’re selling them at bargain prices right now … we should be using those to create basically processing centers where people … you put a fence around a park or a parking lot, you park a hundred of those trailers there and you can have people have their immigration hearings, have their asylum and credible fear hearing, have everything right there. Deploy dozens of immigration judges down to these centers. Don’t let them go, have a fleet of commercial planes ready to fly them back to their home countries. [Emphasis added]

Great idea if you ask me ..... one stop shopping if you will. Catch 'em, detain 'em, process 'em and adjudicate their cases all in the same place! Excellent use for those FEMA trailers that are just sitting around gathering dust until sold for money that will not go toward dealing with illegal immigration or the border crisis.

Trump aid Stephen Miller is but one man and he needs help bucking Trump's hired and appointed swamp creatures that favor more immigration! Someone like Kobach would be a great addition to the Trump administration (IMO). Folks can cherry pick one comment he made that they didn't like and attack him if they want, but that one comment doesn't erase his position on illegal immigration and the way he feels about it. He's made a career out of fighting against illegal immigration and he feels the same way we do on the issue.

Is it wise to poison our own well by spitting on our friends?

If Trump were to hire an immigration czar, Kobach would be an outstanding choice. Heck, I'd love to seem him as our new Secretary of DHS, however, he probably couldn't get confirmed if nominated because many in the Senate would feel he's too tough, is a racist, etc.
