This is good news. I don’t have time to do more than post headline, link and snip, more at link. I notice BB writes with a bit of anti-Trump slant lately, I rarely read BB any more.
Donald Trump Picks Ken Cuccinelli to Oversee Immigration Policy
President Donald Trump has picked Ken Cuccinelli to help implement and coordinate his immigration policies and decisions.
NYT:
“The news was reported by the New York Times, which described Cuccinelli as an “immigration hard-liner … [and] aligned with Mr. Trump on issues related to border security”:
The specifics of the role — including the title and the scope of duties — are still being hashed out, according to the official. But Mr. Cuccinelli is expected to be based in the Department of Homeland Security, not in the White House.”
Mr. Cuccinelli met with Mr. Trump in the Oval Office on Monday, along with nearly a dozen other administration officials, including Kevin K. McAleenan, the acting secretary of homeland security. By Monday evening, Mr. Cuccinelli had begun placing calls to people to alert them that he was expected to get the job, according to people familiar with the discussions.
Cuccinelli is expected to coordinate the implementation of Trump’s border security policies, including the construction of the border wall and a reform of the catch-and-release laws and regulations.
Trump picked Cuccinelli over Kris Kobach, an immigration reformer who served as secretary of state in Kansas and has a keen understanding of migration laws.
I scanned the rest of the article and some comments. I know nothing about Cuccinelli so don’t really know if it is good news or if the guy isn’t that great.
Kris Kobach would have been a nice choice but perhaps President Trump needs him the Senate more. Kobach is contemplating running for the open seat by the retiring KS Senator Pat Roberts.

Somebody was saying Cuccinelli was the one Cruz hired to try to weasel away delegates from Mr. Trump before the convention.
