Enforcing the law isn ' t racist . But the rhetoric used by those who are supposed to enforce it , is worrying . Consider Kris Kobach , for example . He ' s Trump ' s prospective DHS pick . Did you see that photo of Trump and Kobach coming out of their meeting on Monday , with Kobach holding a document outside its folder ? It included details of his proposal to handle criminal aliens subject to deportation . He proposed redefining the term to include any alien , legal or otherwise , arrested for any reason . Not convicted , just arrested . That would open the door to all sorts of abuses should anyone at the top decide that this provided an easy way to get rid of large amounts of nonwhites . And what do you know ? Kobach is a member of the Federation for American Immigration Reform , whose aims include a moratorium on all immigration , and whose founder is a proponent of eugenics and who favors the return of racial immigration quotas to ensure a permanent white majority in America . Enforcing the law isn ' t racist , but when the keepers of the law are racists who seek to change the laws to advance their goals , people should rightfully call them out for what they are .
