The New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made the headlines after making an announcement that he is in favor of Senator Ted Cruz's plan in terms of dealing with undocumented immigrants last Monday, January 18.

As per the Washington Examiner, Byron York had a brief interview in regards to Christie's plans in dealing with undocumented immigrants. Christie then stated that he is in favor of Cruz's plan as it is more realistic than Donald Trump's, as per Politico's report.

Cruz's immigration plan which is stated on his official website mentioned that is vision is "to strengthen national security, enhance the value of citizenship, and stop illegal immigration."

Christie emphasized that there's no immediate need to make changes in terms of the level of immigration. What is more important however is to take action in dealing with the recent concerns such as the uncontrollable entry of undocumented immigrants. This issue has been a major concern for the candidates during various political rallies.

Christie said, "And I think that could be done relatively quickly, but I don't think it's there now, and I don't think people want to see us increase the levels of immigration into this country until we get that under control."

Christie told Time that Cruz's remarks were inappropriate, "You want to be President of the United States, you have to unite this country. And for him to somehow be implying that certain values are more appropriate, more American, depending upon what region of the country you're from is to me just asinine."

Chris Christie may be taking Cruz's side in terms of his immigration reform agenda, but the New Jersey Governor however made it clear that he does not support Cruz's disrespectful remark against New Yorkers.

Chris Christie's comment is in reference to Ted Cruz's previous remarks during his South Carolina debate, wherein Cruz stated that, "He explained that his views were that he was very pro-choice, he supported partial birth abortion, he was open to gay marriage, and his explanation for all of that was, 'I'm a New Yorker.'"

In response to Cruz's remark, Donald Trump promptly defended himself, and the rest of New York by citing that the 9/11 aftermath should be viewed as something more than just a tragedy. Despite the fact New Yorkers went through a series of grief, they were still able to pick up the pieces and move forward.
