On 21 November 2016, social media lit up with a story about Kansas' secretary of state, Kris Kobach, unwittingly showing his plans for Homeland Security in a press photograph: The post contains a photograph taken on 20 November 2016, showing President-elect Donald Trump at Trump's golf course in New Jersey as he is about to meet with Kobach. According to the Topeka Capital-Journal, Kobach's name is being floated to lead the Department of Homeland Security. In the photograph, taken by Associated Press photographer Carolyn Kaster, Kobach is seen clutching a stack of papers and a leather folder. Multiple news publications rotated and magnified the document so that the areas that were not covered by his arm and hand could be read: The document reads, in part: NSEERs stands for National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, a controversial practice that was phased out in 2011: Aside from reinstatement of NSEERs, the visible portion of the document also calls for reducing to zero the intake of Syrian refugees, as well as what appears to be a proposal about the U.S.-Mexico border: While Kobach could be selected by Trump to head the Department of Homeland Security, no determination has been confirmed. Further, if Kobach is selected, there's no guarantee the policies on the document will be acted upon — though they are not far afield from promises Trump made on the campaign trail to clamp down on Muslim immigration and deport all undocumented people living in the United States.
