Trump adviser pitches hard-line immigration plan for DHS

WASHINGTON — An immigration adviser to President-elect Donald Trump and a possible candidate for a top government post wants to make some changes at the Homeland Security Department, including recreating a system that required certain immigrants, including men and boys from 25 mostly Muslim nations, to register with the federal government upon their arrival.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach met with Trump on Sunday and brought with him a detailed list of proposals for the agency tasked with enforcing immigration laws and securing the border. Kobach carried his "Department of Homeland Security Kobach Strategic Plan for First 365 Days" into his meeting with Trump. It was visible in a photograph from The Associated Press.

The top suggestion was to "update and reintroduce" the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, or NSEERS, for all foreigners from "high-risk" areas, a program he helped create while working for the Justice Department in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
