The shape of things to come? Trump’s potential Homeland Security director accidentally reveals plan to redefine arrested illegals as ‘criminals’ and deputize cops to help deport them
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach posed for pictures on Sunday with President-elect Donald Trump before a meeting
He accidentally revealed part of a paper that spelled out his proposals for leading the Department of Homeland Security
Kobach would strike deals with 70 cities and counties, deputizing their police to help enforce immigration laws
He would also increase deportations of ‘criminal aliens’ by redefining the term – making illegal immigrants qualify as soon as they’re arrested
The plan, no longer a secret, would build 1,989 miles of new barriers on the Mexican border and tweak voting laws to exclude illegal immigrants
Kobach would also vet immigrants from terror-prone countries by asking them about Sharia law, jihad and ‘equality of men and women’

One of President-elect Donald Trump’s potential cabinet picks showed photographers more than he intended over the weekend, revealing part of an aggressive plan to change the Department of Homeland Security’s approach to combating illegal immigration.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who was rumored last week to be on an attorney general short-list, emerged as a contender for the DHS job and interviewed with Trump on Sunday.
When the two posed for pictures beforehand, however, Kobach was clutching his proposal – and photographs captured the parts that his left hand didn’t obscure.
They included uncompromising approaches to deportations, providing for the ‘rapid build’ of the wall that Candidate Trump promised for America’s southern border – 1,989 miles of it – and part of a plan that appears targeted at making sure illegal immigrants can’t vote in national elections.
