Christie: "Illegal" immigrants not criminals

In comments sure to create a stir, U.S. Attorney Chris Christie told a group of immigrants and their allies, that being an undocumented immigrant is not a crime, unless a person has been deported and returned. The Star Ledger has the coverage.

Christie will be in Monmouth County on May 15th to be honored as the Public Servant of the Year by the Northern Monmouth Chamber of Commerce.

Disclosure: Art Gallagher is the president of the Northern Monmouth Chamber of Commerce.

I think he clarified the statement pretty well and I understand it now. It appears the Star Ledger was trying to make something out of nothing.
