One response to “Speaking of Chris Christie and the GOP Selectorate…”
-
I have to say that link is a bit underwhelming. One assumes a Republican from New Jersey is not going to be very conservative, but if those are all the NY Mag can find on him, I have to assume that Christie just hasn’t had time or interest in talking much about these issues (because he’s from New Jersey).
NY Mag states: “In 2010, Christie told Politico that America needs to come up with a “clear path to citizenship.” ”
If you follow the link to the quote, this is what Christie actually said:
“What I support is making sure that the federal government [plays] each and every one of its roles: Securing the border, enforcing immigration laws, and having an orderly process — whatever that process is — for people to gain citizenship.”
. . .
Christie said more resources — specifically, “money” — were needed to support federal law enforcement and border security, along with “having a clear understandable law that people can follow.”
The quote isn’t supported at the link and even if one assumes “an orderly process . . . for people to gain citizenship” is synonymous with amnesty, it cherrypicks from within a greater focus on enforcement and border security.
