Kansas secretary of state Kris Kobach, a top contender for secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, gave the world a glimpse of the 365-day plan he would enact if he were to be nominated by President-elect Donald Trump. As Trump and Kobach wrapped up their meeting at Trump International Golf Club in New Jersey on Monday, the two posed for photos — and, with papers in his hand, Kobach likely underestimated a camera’s zoom. Only portions of the document titled “Department of Homeland Security Kobach Strategic Plan for First 365 Days” were readable, but enough was visible to make clear that liberal outrage over Trump’s supposedly “dangerous plan” is misdirected. In fact, the plan seems fairly reasonable.
Kobach’s plan to bar entry of potential terrorists would not ban all Muslims from entering the United States, as Trump has suggested in the past.
