"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," Arco wrote from Mexico. “Until that time, that’s not my job and not my role,” Christie said.

He said he would announce his intentions about seeking the GOP nomination for president early next year. Most observers think he has been gearing up for that for some time. More about business in the Garden State under Christie's administration in my column today here.
