Chris-Christie
Chris Christie is latest GOP candidate hoping to raise his poll numbers of backs of immigrants.

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. Sept. 11, 2015: Immigration reform and undocumented immigrants continue to be the scapegoats like GEICO’s ‘Rick’ for right wing politicians looking to gain favor among their base. It is the hot button that shoots them to ‘stardom’ among the base of ‘crazies’ concerned that America is becoming too black and brown.

With New Jersey Governor Chris Chistie lagging way down in the polls compared to other Republican Primary Presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Ben Carson, Christie decided to take a play from the Trump book of madness this past week.

So on Saturday, August  29th, Christie, who was re-elected thanks to Latino voters, gave them a Ceelo ‘Forget You’ heave and decided he was going to get back up in the polls by any means necessary – including on the backs of immigrants.

Just when you thought Trump’s wall along the Mexican border with a door plan along with his elimination of citizenship for ‘anchor babies’ was nuts, along comes Christie with a plan that’s planned it seems to trump Trump.

During a campaign event in New Hampshire, the New Jersey governor and Republican presidential hopeful proposed a FedEx-style tracking system for immigrants who overstay their visas.

That’s right – let’s track immigrants like we do packages! Wow. Wonder what Pope Francis will say about that?

“We can do it, and we should bring in the folks from FedEx to use the technology to be able to do it,” Christie was quoted by CBS News as saying. “There’s nothing wrong with that.”

He further explained: “And then when your time is up, then we go get you and tap you on the shoulder and say: ‘Excuse me. Thanks for coming. Time to go!”

Wonder what those Hispanics stupid enough to vote for Christie as governor are saying now? Here is a guy who has proven he’s worst than Mitt Romney – that he will do and say anything to get his new base listening to him and riled up enough to support him over the other 16 plus idiots in the race to nowhere.

Too bad, Chris, that that will only work for a primary; whatever will you do when the national election comes around?

Will you flip flop like Mitt too if you get that far?

Last I checked, any presidential candidate needs the immigrant votes to win the White House? But who am I kidding Chris!

The only White House you will see is probably White Castle. Your dreams to become President are just a heavy bag of flatulence and nothing else.

So why not use that Fedex tracking system and fast track yourself out of the embarrassment you’ve gotten yourself into? Maybe the air you’re blowing will be enough to send you over the Mexican border where Trump’s wall can do us a favor and keep you out.

But then again – Mexico won’t want you either!

Immigrant voters beware! Chris Christie is not a friend at all and his own big mouth proves it.
