Trump Preparing to Name Ken Cuccinelli Immigration Czar
-------------------------------------------------------

President Trump is preparing to name former Virginia Attorney General
Ken Cuccinelli as "immigration czar" to oversee the Trump
administration's hard-line immigration policies, in a new role that
won't require Senate confirmation. Cuccinelli is a climate change denier
who ran unsuccessfully for Virginia governor in 2013. As a state
lawmaker in Virginia, Cuccinelli authored legislation seeking to force
employees to speak English in the workplace, and he unsuccessfully
fought to eliminate the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship clause.
