Trump's plan to redefine arrested illegals as 'criminals' and deputize cops to deport

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.



The Kobach doctrine would also make good on two other Trump campaign promises: completely ending the Obama administration's Syrian refugee resettlement program and instituting 'extreme vetting' of prospective immigrants from terror-prone countries.

Kobach used the phrase '[e]xtreme vetting questions for high-risk aliens.'

Part of that vetting would include asking them questions about their 'support for Sharia law, jihad, equality of men and women, [and] the United States Constitution.'

Another part of Kobach's proposal could explain how Trump plans to implement what he initially called a temporary 'shutdown on Muslims entering the country,' and later modified to reflect that program of nation-specific 'extreme vetting' rather than a religious test.

Kobach helped design the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System after ther 9/11 terror attacks, when he was a Justice Department official in the George W. Bush administration.

Under NSEERS, people entering the U.S. from 'higher risk' nations were required to be interviewed and fingerprinted. Some men, and teens as young as 16, had to register in person at government offices and check in periodically like prison parolees, if they hailed from countries that harbored active terror threats.
The Obama administration scrapped the program in 2011, saying it had become redundant with other programs. But conservatives complained that the real reason was a backlash from liberal activists including some in Muslim-American interest groups.

The American Civil Liberties Union has threatened to sue the federal government if the program is revived.

Kobach also wants to increase participate in what Homeland Security agency calls its 287(g) program and describes as 'one of ICE's top partnership initiatives.'

The program permits state and local governments to agree to give police the power to help enforce federal immigration law.

Kobach's proposal would strike 'expedited 287(g) agreements with at least 70 cities and counties.' The inclusion of the words 'alien criminals' suggests that power would be used mainly to help deport criminals who are in the United States illegally.

Kobach's memo projects that '[a]ll aliens from high-risk areas are tracked.'

PART OF THE MASTER PLAN: KANSAS SECRETARY OF STATE'S HOMELAND SECURITY PROPOSAL

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach accidentally showed reporters part of his strategic plan for reshaping the Homeland Security Department on Sunday. Here are the portions revealed by a photo enlargement:

A tough question remains, however: Who might be considered a 'criminal alien'?

The Kobach memo appears to recommend replacing 'ICE guidance memoranda adopted by Obama Administration.' Instead, he would 'issue new guidance' redefining '"criminal alien" as any alien arrested for any crime, and any gang member.'

Combined with the 287(g) authority, that could give local police the power to fast-track deportation proceedings against illegal immigrants arrested for misdemeanors, declaring them 'criminals' without the benefit of a trial.

The 'due process clause' of the Fifth Amendment is generally held to apply to all immigrants, legal and illegal. It guarantees arrestees the right to a speedy trial.

But similar immigration laws are already on the books in Arizona and Alabama. Kobach helped those states' Republican majorities pass them.

The voting-rights section of the Kobach plan appears to refer to the National Voter Registration Act, although his hand and wrist block most of the section out.

The NVRA, which President Bill Clinton signed into law, included the 'motor voter' statute that required DMVs to offer easy voter registrations to people applying for drivers licenses and other state-issued ID cards.

Illegal immigrants can obtain licenses in 12 states and the District of Columbia, a fact that Republicans argue allows for millions of them to illegally register to vote. Local and county-level election judges often lack the computers and manpower to reconcile their voter rolls, and some officials accept drivers licenses as proof of voting eligibility in states that require them.

2Face will deny this

So that answers the question as to what a criminal is. I needed a different source other than Twitter.

People here thought being an overstay would count you as a criminal. Hopefully that will calm them down.

Thanks.

This mofo could not and will not be confirmed...
