Anti-Immigrant Lawmaker Kris Kobach Joins Trump's Transition Team
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, known as a leading proponent of
anti-immigrant and voter suppression laws, has joined Donald Trump's
transition team. Kobach was a key figure in drafting Arizona's notorious
anti-immigrant racial profiling law, SB 1070, known as the "show your
papers" law, parts of which have been found unconstitutional. While
working through the Immigration Reform Law Institute, Kobach also
drafted model anti-immigration legislation that's been implemented in
Pennsylvania, California, Texas, Missouri and Alabama. Some of these
laws were later found to be unconstitutional.
