Trump set to take sharp right turn on immigration

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

If personnel is policy, this week in President-elect Trump's transition has been better for immigration hawks than foreign-policy doves.

 

While the names being floated for key national security positions don't represent the anticipated departure from George W. Bush's foreign policy, Trump's team does appear to be considering appointments that would break sharply with the last Republican president on immigration.

 

Trump's team sent a signal Thursday that Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., was being considered for attorney general. "While nothing has been finalized and he is still talking with others as he forms his cabinet, the President-elect has been unbelievably impressed with Senator Sessions and his phenomenal record as Alabama's Attorney General and U.S. Attorney," the statement said. "It is no wonder the people of Alabama re-elected him without opposition."
