Kris Kobach in talks with White House over DHS job

Kris Kobach said Tuesday he is eager to become President Trump's Homeland Security secretary and confirmed he has been communicating with the White House about the job.

Kobach is emerging as the favorite of immigration hawks as Trump considers replacements for Kirstjen Nielsen. The former Kansas secretary of state, a Trump confidant on immigration matters, built his political career around advocating for curbing immigration into the United States, whether legal or illegal.

After the president fired Nielsen for, in his view, not cracking down on the flow of illegal migration across the Mexican border in a show of strength ahead of 2020, immigration restrictionists are hoping Kobach gets the nod — despite warnings from establishment Republicans that Senate confirmation would be an uphill battle.

Doesn't matter.  Whoever takes  the job won't last long anyway.

I would like to see Rick Perry.  He's very knowledgeable about the problems at the border.
