Lets establish right off the bat that Kris Kobach and Donald Trump fit together pretty well. Lets also acknowledge that theres a job opening in President Trumps administration that would seem to fit Mr. Kobachs particular orientation pretty well.
We almost always root for Kansans in this sort of situation: It would seem to be good for Kansas, and for us here in Manhattan, to have one of our own in high public office.
But in this case, we need to send a strong contrary signal: Please, Mr. President, dont put Mr. Kobach in charge of the border.
