Immigrant-rights activists say New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie reversed himself Saturday and endorsed giving illegal immigrants in-state college tuition rates, and said he will try to get the issue through his legislature in a lame-duck session.
Mr. Christie, who is up for re-election in November, is also seen as eyeing a bid for the GOP’s 2016 presidential nomination, but his support for in-state tuition could complicate that.
“We need tuition equality for everyone in New Jersey,” the activists said the governor said in a speech to the Latino Leadership Alliance of New Jersey.
Afterward, the activists said, Mr. Christie told one of them that “We will get it done in the lame-duck.”

Mr. Tello said Mr. Christie has earned the backing of Hispanics in New Jersey, and he said that will make the governor a more formidable candidate in a GOP primary.
“He has presidential ambitions and I think this will boost him, especially him winning a blue state and reaching across the aisle,” Mr. Tello said.

We don’t have money to enforce immigration laws, but we DO have money to educate illegals. And taxpayers are suppose to bend over and accept it. Sheesh.
As a Democrat.
We have open borders, international health care and now international education! We need international aid to pay for all this!
this is what he wants to hang his hat on.
“tuition equality”.
for illegal aliens.
seriously.
detached from reality. aiding and abetting.
effing RINO.
This sounds to me like a shrug from Pork Porkie. He has apparetnly given up any dream of the White House.
Which is a good thing, since the prospect of that possibility for normal Americans is a nightmare.
I thought when you meant flip, you mean his sanity..
I don’t see what the problem is. Let’s just make everything free for everybody. And, only the people who like to work have to work.
Tuition equality?
Discrimination against CITIZENS from other states in favor of illegal aliens is “equality”?
It’s against the law: the 1996 IIRCA.
In addition to being outrageous and criminal.
Definitely gonna need a bigger noose.
This has gotten so old. Invaders get special treatment.
Perhaps the bank robbers kids get to keep the money their parents steal.
If that’s the case....one price for all. Legal state residents first...after that...a lottery.
It’s already against Federal law.
section 505 of the 1996 illegal immigration reform and control act specifically prohibits what Christie is proposing, unless he drops the concept of out of state tuition altogether.
Sme one should tell him he’s advocating a crime.
Right. Illegal immigrant go ahead of out-of-state American citizens.
It’s easy to roll over when you are so roly poly to begin with.
Illegal Alien Amnesty is Anti American Bigotry. In State college tuition for illegals is Amnesty
He is one big fat fork.
Christie sees the writing on the wall with the conservatives being able to reclaim control of the Republican Party.
I see a ride on the donkey as Fat Boy’s future
