Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach encouraged President Donald Trump to add a question about citizenship status to the U.S. Census during the early weeks of Trump’s presidency.

“I wanted to make sure the president was well aware.”

That entire mess stinks of Kobach. Please somebody take him down before he ends up the governor of Kansas. I mean he has to be disabled or they will vote for him.
