Chris Christie: As president I would hire FedEx CEO to teach us how to track immigrants like packages

Appearing at a townhall in Laconia, New Hampshire, GOP presidential contender Chris Christie attempted to set his campaign apart from the pack with a unique suggestion for dealing with immigrants: get Federal Express to teach the government how to track them like they do with packages.

-snip-

When talk to turned to a favorite Republican hot button issue — undocumented immigrants — Christie tossed out the idea of enlisting FEDEX CEO Fred Smith to teach ICE how to track them. “Christie says, if elected, he’ll tap FedEx’s Fred Smith for a 3-month gig to teach how to track immigrants w same efficiency as packages, ” tweeted Elliott during Christie’s talk.

Claude Brodessser — a politics writer for the Star-Ledger — confirmed Christie’s comments while noting that Smith’s daughter works for the Christie campaign. Brodesser tweeted: “@GovChristie says he’d hire FedEx founder Fred Smith to track visa holders as immigration fix. Christie spox is Smith’s daughter, Samantha.”

Elliott’s tweet drew the attention of Lis Smith, a spokesperson for Democrat Martin O’Malley’s campaign, who tweeted: “Wow. Taking dehumanizing language to new lows.”

1. Yeah because I'm sure it was the CEO who designed the tracking system you imbecile.

This guy can't even get racism right.

[arcane1]

30. But, CEOs do ALL the work!! The rest are just "takers" leeching off their executive greatness!!

[RufusTFirefly]

2. Anyone who has read "IBM and the Holocaust" will find this truly scary

Only after Jews were identified -- a massive and complex task that Hitler wanted done immediately -- could they be targeted for efficient asset confiscation, ghettoization, deportation, enslaved labor, and, ultimately, annihilation. It was a cross-tabulation and organizational challenge so monumental, it called for a computer. Of course, in the 1930s no computer existed.

But IBM's Hollerith punch card technology did exist. Aided by the company's custom-designed and constantly updated Hollerith systems, Hitler was able to automate his persecution of the Jews. Historians have always been amazed at the speed and accuracy with which the Nazis were able to identify and locate European Jewry. Until now, the pieces of this puzzle have never been fully assembled. The fact is, IBM technology was used to organize nearly everything in Germany and then Nazi Europe, from the identification of the Jews in censuses, registrations, and ancestral tracing programs to the running of railroads and organizing of concentration camp slave labor.

23. No, that's not what he's saying at all.

What a stupid leap.

[itsrobert]

3. So he wants people implanted with a RFID chip

to track them?

[central scrutinizer]

52. A bar code tattooed on the top of everyone's head

And hats and haircuts will be illegal

[Journeyman]

4. So instead of a wall, we'll tattoo tracking numbers on everyone and build a giant scanner. . .

Yeah. That seems reasonable.

[Dont call me Shirley]

5. GOP is sounding more and more like nazis with each snipe. How can each candidate out-nazi the other

[HassleCat]

6. Gummit can't do anything

Yeah, Chris. FedEx can do things government cannot do. Here are some things FedEx has done for me that the Postal Service could not: Charged me twice as much for an overnight letter and failed to deliver it overnight. Lost my package. discovered they couldn't deliver my package to a remote area, and turned it over to USPS for final delivery. And, the best one, considering Christie's remark, tracked my package as still in transit two days after it arrived.

[rickford66]

24. My rural mail lady has delivered more than a few FedEx packages to us.

USPS does the work while FedEx gets the credit. Wait until they put the USPS out of business.

[underpants]

40. Yes the major shippers use USPS all the time

Both USPS planes as well as carriers. The private companies simply can't go to every door every day and have said so repeatedly. BTW - USPS uses the private company planes also.

[Moonwalk]

36. So what does this say about FedEx's ability to track immigrants?

[HassleCat]

37. Nothing

But that's not the issue. Chris Christie suggests we ask FedEx how to track things (immigrants) because they're so good at tracking packages. But they're not that good at tracking packages, so Christie's suggestion is not supported by the evidence, or at least by my personal experience.

[PatrynXX]

7. good luck

FedEx too awhile during the amazon sprintathon during Christmas and couldn't find one package. took a week. So FedEx can't Track and UPS treats boxes and items like crap. and the USPS lets me have very soggy mail , yet the Newspaper it delivered with care. Seriously. Rain shine ice or snow. that paper will be printed and mailed. Worked for papers for a decade meh so my windshield is frozen over. come to work NOW. yeah was sliding everywhere at 2:30 in the morning so much fun..

[TygrBright]

8. Teh Stoopid.... it BURNZZZZzzzz!!!!

[truthisfreedom]

9. Let's see now... Who last tattooed numbers on people?

Hmm... Memory fails me...

[sarisataka]

12. At the future GOP run concentration camp...

er, Immigrant Relocation Camp


On the bright side they will have to spend money to upgrade the railroad infrastructure
{very dark }

[sorechasm]

42. From 'Binders full of women' to 'tracking Boxes of immigrants'

The GOP sure has evolved.

[The Jungle 1]

10. Bar code um

Yea that is the ticket just bar code all the undocumented people and make Mexico pay for it. That will work.

[randys1]

11. Let me ask a question. Do we believe a version of the Third Reich courtesy of the Teaparty isnt

possible?

Do we assume none of these vicious, fascist, murderous bastards can obtain power?

[niyad]

51. sadly, we believe it is entirely, and all-too likely, a possibility.

[douggg]

13. Sounds something like the 'mark of the beast' type tracking.

Check Christie's forehead, arm or hand.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

15. Well, if they can do it in Idiocracy...

[jtuck004]

16. "My Mama always said. "Stupid is as stupid does"." Forrest Gump.

No one forced him to say this, yes? He thought it up on his own?

wow.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

17. Dollars to donuts !

Hello Folks
Chris Christie here:

Everybody knows there is no way to realistically build a Trump wall the way Trump says he can.
So what I did is subtract a piece of Trump's traction ,brought it over to Jersey ,created a reasonably believable
bill of goods. And I am sure my friend the Donald will in the long run will see the potential benefits to be had by this
what in my opinion is one of the most brilliant bill of goods to be put over on the voting public I have ever seen.

Folks it is this type of brilliant scam casting that got me elected twice . If it makes sense to you ,it makes sense to me too.
See, I'm just like you. What is good by the people is good for the people.

Ya, FeD X ,who would have guessed ?
I got some pretty good con artists in my collective.
The problem is as I look over the list of people I owe a job should I be elected, many of them will end up getting the shaft because I can't hire five or more of them to fill the same position. But it's just like they say,you can't take all your friends with you when you move on up.

The political screws just keep turning keeping the shaft aligned !

The one's I feel the most sorry for are those with the big plans of a second career move to DC. 15 years in the planning stages.
Slipping it to them wouldn't come easy though necessary it is. The ends of one career, the beginnings of another . Great plans they have for the new beginnings,move the family to DC , screw everything and everybody left behind- for the cause ,it's all for the cause.


My worker bee buddies from the good old bushy days,bush in 2000. Get another bush in and it's Rin Tin Tin.
I think rin tin tin is the name of a famous dog that had a television weekly show named after it back there in the olden days.
Actually the dog was the star ! But of course they probably had five dog look alikes to get it over on the audience. I'd never get away with that even as president.

Never would they suspect the shaft awaits them. Hay that's the dog ain't it .

[Enrique]

18. the Trump effect

we should prepare ourselves for what the candidates will say over the next few months to get attention.

[Wilms]

19. Just give them a cell phone.

NSA will handle it from there.

[d_legendary1]

20. Krispy Kreme is still running for President?

His hopes for becoming president are slim to none.

[jmowreader]

62. Y'know, I think this is the very first time...

I ever saw the word "slim" used in reference to Chris Christie.

[left-of-center2012]

21. Here's the solution!

Stick a bar code on each illegal as they cross the border.
No?
Oh.

[jtuck004]

22. Look through the window this provides into his thinking. He sees some people as objects. Not bad

objects or good objects, just objects.

He really doesn't see that as racist, and it may not be. One has to recognize others as human first for them to have a race. I'm not sure he sees the humanity in some groups. He appears to regard them as no more than a box with a label.

That he seems to do this seems scarier than a racist. The nazis seemed to actually hate, another thing that more or less requires one to acknowledge another life form.

In his view he skips on over that, I think. He simply sees no life, no humanity, and wants to shelve them. He wouldn't see mass death as wiping people out, more like just clearing off a table.

Maybe he didn't develop fully.

[arcane1]

29. He also sees the republican base as approving of this and scoring more points w/them

It just might work, if they don't figure out how stupid it is.

[EEO]

25. So he wants to put barcodes on people...

Christie is such a joke.

[turbinetree]

26. Christe, have you really looked at how FEDEX is doing in the PR department....just like you

Have a nice day Christie-------now shut up and sit down


Honk--------------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

[vinny9698]

27. Trying to "Out Trump" is all that these GOP wannabees have to offer

Coming up with outlandish ideas to over come Trump;s outlandish idea. Won't work, people want the real Trump.

[CTyankee]

35. I'd like to see a debate just between Trump and Christie...

Christie: Shut up and sit down!

Trump: You're an idiot. Isn't he an idiot? Doesn't he look like an idiot?

Christie: I won the election to this office, buddy. Don't you forget it!

Trump: Yes, and since then your state has gone straight into the toilet.

Christie: What do you know about being a governor, may I ask? You have no idea what you're talking about.

Trump: I built business, made BILLIONS of dollars, you bozo!

Christie: Ya know what, I don't CARE how much money you made in real estate. You were rich to begin with. Where do you get off with that BS!

Trump: Ya know what, governor, I'm gonna squash you like a bug in the next primary.

Christie: Don't flatter yourself, bigmouth.I'll squash you!

Trump: As long as I don't let you sit on me, you tub of lard, I'll be fine!

{meanwhile, Obama is grinning. Hillary is smiling and nodding her head. Bernie is busy revving up another 30,000 people. O'Malley facepalms}

[JustAnotherGen]

45. Brilliant!

[CTyankee]

46. thanks. sad but true. that's about what it's going to look like...two assholes yelling

insults to each other.

[jmowreader]

28. Chris Christie: I use "Idiocracy" as a how-to manual

Let me guess: he wants to tattoo a barcode on everyone's wrist, then create a huge network of barcode readers to track them all. And being "unscannable" will be a federal offense.

[rocktivity]

64. And then export those barcode reading jobs

to save money on labor costs!!!

I'm calling this strategy "Duplicating Duh Donald..."

32. Which GOPer will say

we need to make Mexico build an entire wall around itself, while we breed even more man-eating sharks to fill the waters of the Gulf and the Pacific, and kill the dolphins in those waters because they sometimes help humans?

Sharks with frickin lasers, right?

[Demeter]

33. Tatooed numbers, perhaps, on the arm?

Or shall we go digital, and just RF chip them?

[seabeckind]

38. Bar code is probably a bit cheaper

[thebighobgoblin]

34. Did he use FedEx to monitor traffic before, during, and after his bridge closures?

[BadGimp]

39. Brain Mouth Gate FAIL

41. Not even Trump would say somethng this stupid

But I guess that's the point...

[stuffmatters]

43. The ALEC Agenda- Christie's an ALEC Governor, Fed Ex an ALEC member

CEO Smith, Christie and the kids can all swap ALEC favors on the personal level too.

I always believed Fed Ex in ALEC led to the Repubs goal to get rid of the post office. But now we can envision some of the ALEC "long game" they plot in their fetid backrooms with their bought and paid for politicians.

[JustAnotherGen]

44. He's an idiot

Go ahead - pages and pages and pages.

Thanks, Christie, yet another reason to hate your guts.

He's in the running for the stupidest idea ever during a presidential campaign. No, in any campaign. Ye gods.

58. These guys trying to out-dickhead Trump . . .

Are outclassed. They even fail when they try to out-nitwit him.

Say what you will about Trump, he is an utter master of everything that's wrong about American politics. And popular culture. And hair.

like maybe "Cracker Ass of the Year"? Because it sure seems like the GOP candidates are really trying to get that title.

Or yellow stars or pink triangles.

Or tattooed numbers.

I wonder what their final solution will be.
