Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) on Thursday launched his campaign for the state’s governorship.
In a speech announcing his candidacy, Kobach pledged to fight “corruption, taxation and illegal immigration,” as quoted by the Kansas City Star.
Kobach advised President Donald Trump on immigration during Trump’s 2016 campaign and has a history of pushing for tougher measures targeting undocumented immigrants.
He is also known for supporting voting regulations that restrict access to the ballot and, as secretary of state, aggressively prosecuted alleged instances of double-voting, a very uncommon occurrence.
Kobach claimed after Trump’s election victory that he was named to serve on Trump’s immigration policy transition team, and after Trump’s inauguration said he advised the President to pursue an investigation into his unsubstantiated claims of massive election fraud.
Trump in May signed an executive order creating a commission to do so, which has thus far borne no fruit.
“corruption, taxation and illegal immigration”
He is for much MORE CORRUPTION (as long as only he makes the money.)
He is for much less TAXATION of anyone making over $500,000/year. Fuck everybody else.
He is for “ending illegal immigration” by “finally making Kansas a SLAVE STATE.” (because, “Those People” you know…)
Isn’t the Kansas economy hurting bad enough?
Electing this neo-Nazi will destroy the sectors of the Kansas economy that rely on immigrant labor (a concept totally lost on Hair Furor btw).
Go for it, Kris…
Yes, and I read that the republican legislature has lost its lovin’ feeling for the Koch employee.

I’d recommend that Kris Kobach try this speech. It’s a sure winner:
“Not a single radicalized Islamic suspect should be granted any measure of quarter. Their intended entry to the American homeland should be summarily denied. Every conceivable measure should be engaged to hunt them down. Hunt them, identity them, and kill them. Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all.”
It’s well known that Kansas, the prosperous land of milk and honey, is a first choice destination for immigrants.
