President-elect
Trump has spent much of the last few weeks vetting potential cabinet
members. Many of the higher profile
positons have been named, such as Attorney General (Alabama
Republican Senator Jeff Sessions) , Secretary of Defense (Ret.
Gen. James Mattis), and UN Ambassador (South
Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley).
It is expected that he will name a Secretary of State shortly.
The President-elect
has not yet tipped his hand on who will be the Secretary of the Department of
Homeland Security. The DHS secretary
positon is important because this positon sets DHS policy interpretations for
H-1Bs and other employment-based nonimmigrant visas and employment-based green
cards.
Two candidates seem
to be leading the race to be Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security:
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and Texas Rep. Mike McCaul. The betting
markets have Kobach slightly ahead.
While the betting markets are good indicators, they are not
guarantees of future outcomes.
Rep. McCaul
probably would be the better choice for employment-based immigrants and
employers. In the mid-2000s, Rep. McCaul
co-sponsored
and supported several bills aimed at increasing the H-1B cap and increase
employment-based green cards. On the
other hand, many immigration hardliners
favor Kobach.
