    "At any moment, FedEx can tell you where that package is"

    New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on Saturday that he plans to track illegal immigrants in the same way that FedEx tracks its packages if he is elected president next year.

    Speaking at a campaign event in Laconia, N.H., the Republican presidential candidate said that he would ask the FedEx CEO himself, Frederick Smith, to create the system, the New York Times reports. “At any moment, FedEx can tell you where that package is. It’s on the truck. It’s at the station. It’s on the airplane. Yet we let people come to this country with visas, and the minute they come in, we lose track of them,” he said. “We need to have a system that tracks you from the moment you come in.”

    Christie’s comments arrive as the Republican primary field, led by real estate mogul Donald Trump, proposes tighter immigration plans ahead of the Sept. 16 GOP debate.

    “However long your visa is, then we go get you,” Christie said. “We tap you on the shoulder and say, ‘Excuse me. Thanks for coming. Time to go.’”

    Christie did not say how exactly the FedEx tracking system, which scans packages’ barcodes, would be used to track undo ented immigrants. A FedEx spokesperson declined to comment.

    That's stupid.

    Tagging them and tracking them is the same as saying it's OK to be here.

    Wow...

    The link in the OP lies...

    It says "illegal immigrants" which is silly, because how can yoy even start the tracking?

    The article linking from the OP speaks about immigrants here on Visas. this is a small part of the illegal problem, where they don't go back once they legally get here. He is only speaking of enforcing the length of stay authorized by the visa.

    DMX...

    Don't you verify before posting?

    Should have posted the linked article in your link.

    Small part of the problem? Almost half of illegal immigrants in this country enter that way.

    And yeah, CC's suggestion is re ed. How would you implement a system like that? Force tourists to show up for scanning at a given place? Notice that right now, overstaying a visa is not a criminal offense, that would have to change too, I suppose.

    Cages baited with tacos. Simply ear tag the captured beasts then release them to disperse. Then recapture them and note migration patterns. It's called mark and recapture. I like this "thinking like a Republican" stuff. Trump may next suggest a force field that he will fund himself.

    this could actually work. see where they all congregate and what routes they use and then set up roadside checkpoints with land mines and machine gun turrets. once captured we could release them deep in the jungles of the amazon rainforest.

    I appears that number is pretty shaky, and I've seen it down to 27%. Who know what the real number is. I will concede that it is larger than I wrote earlier.

    In all honesty, I'm far less concerned about those originally coming here legally and overstaying, than I am with those who entered illegally, and receive SNAP, TANF, and other social services. They are a drain of our national resources, though both categories change the supply and demand variables for legal workers trying to find good pay.

    And yeah, CC's suggestion is re ed. How would you implement a system like that? Force tourists to show up for scanning at a given place? Notice that right now, overstaying a visa is not a criminal offense, that would have to change too, I suppose.
    My God...

    They candidates are just flinging , and looking for what sticks.

    Any reason not to pick Bernie Sanders of the lesser of all evils out there?

    Give out free cell phones and free coronas at festivals. Secretly implant tracking devices in both. Problem solved

    Here's a reason specially up your alley for you NOT to vote Bernie

    Bernie Sanders: ‘Environmentalists Deserve A Debate’

    On Sunday, Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders spoke out about the need for issue-specific debates, saying his fellow Democratic presidential hopefuls should be debating multiple issues, including the environment.

    “I think environmentalists deserve a debate so we could talk about how we move aggressively to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel,” Sanders said on CNN’s State of the Union.

    Both Hillary and Bernie beat Trump by several points in polls of all voters.

    Trump is only doing well with Repug extremists, and even those who support him now, don't want him as candidate and President.

    dunno, but that's only Repug Hispanics, not all Hispanics.

    Hispanic culture is a macho culture, so I guess Repug Hispanics are conned by Trump's macho, bully, trash talking act.
