Kris Kobach: Immigration Trump and Hillary Clinton

kris kobach: Kris Kobach, the Republican secretary of state in Kansas, gained a national reputation for championing tough voter identification laws and helping to draft proposals in numerous states aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration, according to The Chronicle Herald. Trump last month named him as vice chairman of a commission seeking to compile evidence of widespread voting fraud, an unsubstantiated claim that the president has blamed for his popular vote loss to Hillary Clinton. A Kansas official who has supported President Donald Trump's claim that millions of people may have voted illegally in last year's election launched a campaign for governor Thursday, sounding conservative themes that echo Trump's appeals to disaffected voters. Kobach called the situation a significant problem in Kansas, citing dozens of non-citizens on the state's voter rolls and nine criminal cases he brought as the only chief state elections officer with the power to prosecute election fraud. He was photographed going into a meeting with Trump In November with a document outlining homeland security proposals, including possible changes in voting laws. Kobach had once been considered a candidate to land a role in the administration. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
