How sad in so many ways to hear that Kris Kobach is being considered for President Donald Trump’s possible new position as “immigration czar.” (April 2, 10A, “Trump reportedly considering adding ‘immigration czar’”) But it is perhaps fitting for a president who has no knowledge or empathy on this subject to consider a man with similar qualifications.
Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is also being considered. Cuccinelli is another painful example of far-right extremism, but I hope he will be Trump’s choice if he creates such a position. That way, Kansans wouldn’t continue to be embarrassed by Kobach’s incompetence on the public stage.
