REPORT: Trump Considers Creating ‘Immigration Czar’ Post to Address Border Crisis

The Trump administration is considering creating a new “immigration czar” position to manage the recent influx of illegal immigrants at the southern border, the Associated Press reported Monday.

Former Kansas secretary of state Kris Kobach and former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli are reportedly under consideration to fill the new position, which would either be housed in the Department of Homeland Security or the White House.

The report comes three days after Trump threatened in a series of tweets to shut down “the Border, or large sections of the Border,” if Mexican authorities fail to “immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States throug (sic) our Southern Border.”

The DEMOCRATS have given us the weakest immigration laws anywhere in the World. Mexico has the strongest, & they make more than $100 Billion a year on the U.S. Therefore, CONGRESS MUST CHANGE OUR WEAK IMMIGRATION LAWS NOW, & Mexico must stop illegals from entering the U.S….

….through their country and our Southern Border. Mexico has for many years made a fortune off of the U.S., far greater than Border Costs. If Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States throug our Southern Border, I will be CLOSING…..

….the Border, or large sections of the Border, next week. This would be so easy for Mexico to do, but they just take our money and “talk.” Besides, we lose so much money with them, especially when you add in drug trafficking etc.), that the Border closing would be a good thing!
