Kris Kobach’s Conditions for Becoming Immigration Czar
Mr. Kobach submitted the following list of demands during discussions for an administration post.

1. Office in the West Wing.
2. Walk-in privileges with the president.
3. Assistant to the President rank - at highest pay level for WH senior staff.
4. Staff of 7 people (2 attorneys, 2 research analysts, 1 scheduler, 1 media person, 1 assistant).
5. POTUS sits down individually with Czar and the secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, Ag, Interior, and Commerce, and tells each of the Secretaries to follow the directives of the Czar without delay, subject to appeal to the President in cases of disagreement.
6. 24/7 access to either a DHS or DOD jet. Czar must be on the border every week.
7. Ability to spend weekends in KS with family on way from border back to DC, unless POTUS needs Czar elsewhere.
8. Security detail if deemed necessary after security review.
9. Serve as the face of Trump immigration policy - the principal spokesman on television and in the media.
10. Promise that by November 1, 2019, the president will nominate Kris Kobach to be DHS Secretary, unless Kobach wishes to continue in Czar position.

Number 9 could be a deal-breaker for Trump, tbh

But yeah, fuck this asshole. I don't immediately judge people based solely on their opinion on undocumented folks and us DACA recipients, but you can tell this guy is a giant piece of shit, an actual villain.

Make him Czar, who gives a shit, he can't do anything. Might even be good for us in the long run. Media attention..

I mean, I agree with his demands. Someone with the title of Czar should be just that a Czar...

Quote:
President Trump is expected to name Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, a former attorney general of Virginia and an immigration hard-liner, as his choice to coordinate the administration’s immigration policies, a White House official confirmed on Tuesday.

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. Trump has been considering creating an immigration “czar” post for months, with Mr. Cuccinelli and Kris Kobach, the former Kansas secretary of state, as his top choices. But Mr. Kobach was always seen within the White House as unlikely to get the role, and he put off Mr. Trump and some of his advisers with a list of 10 “requirements” he had for the job, including access to a government jet 24 hours a day, weekends off with his family in Kansas, and a promise to be nominated for Mr. McAleenan’s job by November if he wanted it.

It's when the guy who actually wrote Art of the Deal put up a ridiculous list of demands (name on cover, 50% of profits, etc, etc) in order to not do it. Trump actually agreed to it.
