Christie: Track Immigrants Like FedEx Packages

Perhaps we could do the same with GOP Presidential candidates. It's damn hard to keep track of them, too.

Personally, I'd be okay if we lost any or all of the GOP clown car denizens in shipping

From the link:

Christie added that conversations about "anchor babies" make the Republican Party look unfairly hostile to immigrants.


"The entire conversation about 'anchor babies' is a distraction that makes us sound like we're anti-immigrant, and we're not," he said. "Our party is not that way. We want people to do it legally. Do it the right way."

So he doesn't hate immigrants, he just wants to make sure they're properly tagged before releasing them back into the wild. I guess scanning someone via microchip is easier than trying to visually profile people.

Yeah, he also wants to force the states to comply with federal marijuana laws. His choo-choo has definitely jumped the tracks. In an amazing moment of irony, he attacked pot smokers as liberals with no self-control, just before his belt snapped and the buckle took out a cameraman in the second row.

He sounds more like a little Mussolini every day. Of course, so do most of the candidates.

I'm given to understand that Christie will pay for this program by seizing unused gift cards and doubling bridge tolls...

^
Can't he just get Mexico to pay for it, like Trump would do?

Ok, I'm sorry, but that concept makes me laugh so hard, lol!

But, OMG, this just sounds so terrible and absolutely stupid. And I agree with previous posters that maybe it's the current GOP candidates/members that may need to be, er, "tracked" (or, uh, lost in shipping), instead. XD

We've moved well beyond gift cards...they are now taking any and all inactive accounts, including bank saving's accounts after a specified period of inactivity.

Fit a GPS ankle cuff to him first and see what he thinks of it.

It's a nasty way of objectifying people. Immigrants aren't people, they're packages.

Human traffickers do the same thing. Those 71 dead in Austria? Those were packages too.

And here I thought Chris Christie was billed as one of the smart passengers of the 2016 clown car?

I must say, I credit Trump for the willingness of candidates like Chris Cristie to stop dog-whistling and just lay it out like they always wanted to. Nice to see. Truth in advertising, and all that. Thanks, The Donald, for sinking the GOP this time around.

I'm sitting here watching a Texas Rangers game, so I'll use a baseball analogy. Christie is polling at 3.5% in Real Clear Politic's average. He feels he needs to swing for the fences. I think a paraphrase of the poem Mighty Casey tells how this will end. "All is dark in Mudville, for mighty Christie has struck out."

Christie added, "We need to have a system that tracks you from the moment you come in and then when your time is up," he said. "However long your visa is, then we go get you and tap you on the shoulder and say, 'Excuse me, it's time to go.'"

Ah, I can see it now.




One way or another, we'll never see most of those guys again.
