TRENTON — As Gov. Chris Christie mulls a bid for the White House, some of his positionson immigration may be evolving. But one remains steadfastly the same.
“I’m not giving driver’s licenses to people who are undocumented. That’s it,” Christie said flatly, speaking on his monthly radio show on New Jersey 101.5.
Christie called the state-issued driver’s license “the single most important form of identification. It gets you onto airplanes. … I cannot give driver’s licenses to people who I cannot be sure who they are … and I’ve had that position right from the beginning.”
Christie was named U.S. Attorney for New Jersey on September 10, 2001. The 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred on his second day on the job.
“When it first happened … all I could think about was the job — what is this going to mean?” Christie told The Associated Press on the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks in 2011.
this should not pass.
Would they have to use more forged documents to get the 6 points in the first place?
You are not here legally then you should not be rewarded.
I don’t want to look at his picture.
You would be shocked at just how many NJ residents, here illegally, are currently benefiting from Section 8, public schooling (including special services due to language and overall scholastic difficulties), healthcare, legal representation, etc., all on the backs of the taxpayer.
We had a lot of problems assembling the required 6 points of id when my daughter lost her license.
How do illegal residents do it?
Fake documents. The people that look at them are not experts.
