Badgered on immigration, Chris Christie offers 2 words: Don't ask

MEXICO CITY After criticizing President Obama for his handling of the countrys immigration crisis but declining to provide his own opinion on how to fix the problem, Gov. Chris Christie had a simple message for reporters yesterday: Stop asking.
The governor announced midway through a trip to Mexico billed as a three-day trade mission that he did not plan to offer opinions on repairing U.S. immigration policies unless he chooses to seek the Republican nomination president in 2016.
Until that time, thats not my job and not my role, Christie said yesterday.
As the Republican governor tartly put it: I understand everybody wants to start a campaign that I even havent decided I want to be in right now. Im just not going to do it. I wont have anything to say on immigration unless, and until, I become a candidate for the president of the United States.

(31,798 posts)6. I agree bigd
We are one big hot mess financially. How the leadership of the Republican Party could possibly think of him as good for the economy is beyond me.
