Discussion: Kobach Will Consider Being Immigration Czar...But Only If His Conditions Are Met

Almost as bad, the White House has named Cooch to the post at DHS. What is his take on gerrymandering and on the citizenship question on the census form?

Letā€™s not forget this is the clown car that advocated for voter suppression where a judge threw him into remidial law courses, ran for Govā€™na and allowed a Dem to win (in Kansas!), and now is planning a run for Senate which his own party is planning to fight.

Yup, great job negotiating skills there.

Ok, Kobotch, weā€™ll meet your terms. On one condition: your time in office will come with a laugh track.

ā€œThe White House was reportedly taken aback by Kobachā€™s presumptuousness.ā€ In this White House only the POTUS is allowed that level of presumptuousness.

I wonder if he actually watched that video CLE he claimed met the requirement the judge imposed on him . . .

Was that Zinke or his EPA counterpart? Doesnā€™t really matter; both got canned right quick for being so corrupt.

No. Watching The Paper Chase should not qualify.

And Iā€™m disappointed in the judge for not requiring something that had an objective outcome measure.

Kris Kobachā€™s Conditions for Becoming Immigration Czar
Mr. Kobach submitted the following list of demands during discussions for an administration post.

  1. Office in the West Wing.
  2. Walk-in privileges with the president.
  3. Assistant to the President rank - at highest pay level for WH senior staff.
  4. Staff of 7 people (2 attorneys, 2 research analysts, 1 scheduler, 1 media person, 1 assistant).
  5. POTUS sits down individually with Czar and the secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, Ag, Interior, and Commerce, and tells each of the Secretaries to follow the directives of the Czar without delay, subject to appeal to the President in cases of disagreement.
  6. 24/7 access to either a DHS or DOD jet. Czar must be on the border every week.
  7. Ability to spend weekends in KS with family on way from border back to DC, unless POTUS needs Czar elsewhere.
  8. Security detail if deemed necessary after security review.
  9. Serve as the face of Trump immigration policy - the principal spokesman on television and in the media.
  10. Promise that by November 1, 2019, the president will nominate Kris Kobach to be DHS Secretary, unless Kobach wishes to continue in Czar position.
