Former Bush lieutenant to replace former Bush staffer at DHS.
Is Perry the new guy?
Another potential nominee is Energy Secretary Rick Perry, the former Texas governor who is seen as the most easily confirmed. Kris Kobach, the former Kansas secretary of state and a prominent immigration hard-liner, has been floated in the past for the job but is more likely to be involved in the administration as a non-Senate-confirmed adviser.

It does seem wise to have a former border governor at the head of border security. Would have a better handle on what is bullsh*t and what is compassion for refugees.
