An architect of anti-immigration efforts who says he is advising President-elect Donald Trump said the new administration could push ahead rapidly on construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall without seeking immediate congressional approval.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who helped write tough immigration laws in Arizona and elsewhere, said in an interview that Trump's policy advisers had also discussed drafting a proposal for his consideration to reinstate a registry for immigrants from Muslim countries.

Kobach, who media reports say is a key member of Trump's transition team, said he had participated in regular conference calls with about a dozen Trump immigration advisers for the past two to three months.

Repatriate the migrants from Europe and U.S. to the Safe Zone.

Immigration Hardliner?

So he’s against legal immigration?

Thought so.

My father and grandparents were immigrants. These are invaders.

Better idea: A 20 year moratorium on ALL immigration.

From everywhere.

I believe the writer is trying to throw gas on the hysteria fire. It’s BS.

We have been forcefed too much immigration for 50 years.

It takes time for people to assimilate.

Notice how the prick writes “Muslim registry” in the headline, but then describes it as a “registry” for “immigrants from Muslim countries.” Big difference in meaning.

I’ve fair much made up my mind that nothing coming out of the MSM should be trusted.

Reuters, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post and New York Times especially.

But, even FNC is just making stuff up as they go along now, all too often.

“ANTI-immigration”

As long as this media controls the language, they win the debate.

It was a very misleading article. That’s how the left plays.

I seriously doubt they do anything to the muslims already here. They just wanted to create a controversy.

We need to repeal the immigration act of 1965.

make americans out of who’s here first before we think about allowing more in.

Been saying this for years (probably '04). Shutdown all immigration and VISAs, secure our borders and sort out our immigration laws and VISA system before starting it back up.

This is the only way to fix the problem. You cannot fix the dam when the water is rushing through it. You have to stop the water.

“who helped write tough immigration laws in Arizona and elsewhere”

States don’t write “immigration laws”, though they can write laws to prevent *illegal* “immigration” within their borders.

Banning all immigration would weaken America.

They are invaders. One of my ancestors had to apply for permission and get an American sponsor before he was allowed to emigrate in 1774, when we were still a British colony!

It took two of them to write this? They should know by now all that does is just make it read twice as dishonest.
