Quote:
Senate Republicans are waving President Trump off from nominating Kris Kobach, a favorite among conservatives who want tougher enforcement of immigration laws, to serve as the next secretary of Homeland Security.

GOP lawmakers are already scrambling to contain the controversy surrounding two potential nominees to the Federal Reserve Board — Stephen Moore and Herman Cain — and they don’t want to find themselves in another political fight with the White House over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of Senate leadership on the Judiciary Committee, warned Wednesday that he could not stand behind Kobach if the former Kansas secretary of state is nominated to replace Kirstjen Nielsen as DHS chief.

“I wouldn’t be able to support him,” Cornyn said. “I think his rhetoric on immigration is very damaging to Republicans and would not help us solve what is a very complex problem, which is going to require some negotiation and compromise.
”

Republican lawmakers are also worried about the ascendance of senior White House adviser Stephen Miller, a determined proponent of the administration taking an even tougher immigration stance.

Miller was reportedly behind the DHS shake-up that resulted in the ouster of Nielsen and acting Deputy Secretary Claire Grady.

Kobach is seen as someone who would be more in step with Trump’s views on immigration, something the president may want after venting his frustration with Nielsen at multiple Cabinet meetings.

Told you all. Kobach won’t be confirmed. Every republican in a swing state won’t be for it.

Kobach isn't the only the person that's more hardline than Nielsen. Time will tell but I certainly hope you're right isk.
